Who is this dog for?

 Orlyn and I are a couple who have been wanting a corgi for a long time, but our efforts to adopt or find any available ones have led nowhere. We both work as doctors, so our hours vary. However, our profession gives us a deeper understanding of prioritizing health, and our future corgi will be cared for appropriately and affectionately. We both are also very active, so he or she will certainly get those daily steps in.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We love corgis for their size and energy. My husband and I are quite active, so we would love if our dog becomes a jogging partner (if weather permits). We are also shamelessly doting on dogs, and corgis in our experience enjoy the affection & belly rubs. Corgis are one of the friendlier breeds too; and ideally if his or her personality leans towards the calm side, we would like to train our corgi to be a pet therapy dog. That way, we can bring our corgi to work at the hospital and also share the love with patients and fellow doctors.

My close friend has a corgi, and when he was a puppy, I dogsat and helped raise him when the owner wasn’t available. My spouse and I have also attended dog shows where corgis and information about their breed are presented. We’ve done internet research and perused through corgi parent communities about the needs of this breed and raising them, but we’re also open to new information and advice from more experienced corgi owners.


Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Daily exercise most certainly. We live in a very dog friendly part of downtown Chicago and a block away from the lake. During the warm months, we would love to take him or her on runs along the lake.

Take him or her to corgi meet-ups near the city to interact with other dogs. If our dog doesn’t have any big health concerns, we would also take him on our travels to national parks or Corgi Beach Day type of events.

Otherwise, our profession keeps us home mostly, so simply playing with and caring for him or her would work just as perfectly.

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		Say “no” in an even, firm, and affirmative voice. Redirect him or her or if necessary correct ir.

Discipline:
 Depends on the offense. If he/she is nipping, then I would say “no” in an even tone and ignore until the nipping stops. If he/she is jumping on the couch without invitation, I would put him/her on the ground and say “no.” For excessive barking, I would first see what could be disturbing him/her and use a doggie timeout if necessary. Physical abuse to pets has never been tolerated in my household.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In our apartment
