Who is this dog for?

 My husband and I

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 My family had a Corgi when we were kids, and he was just a great family dog. Other than being adorable, we like their size, gameness, and trainability. Working in a vet clinic we see quite a few Corgis, and they're usually good dogs with minimal aggression issues and they're decently healthy dogs.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Walks, hikes, and visiting lots of parks, we bring our dog everywhere with us that we can. I wouldn't mind getting into obedience competitions or agility, but we're fine with a couch potato as well.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?
 Yes

Willing to house train?
 Yes
Willing to do formal training? Yes

Do you have a veterinarian?

 Yes

Vet contact info:
 {If yes, please provide contact information including the vet’s name, clinic name, street address, city, state, zip, and phone. Also include the website if there is one.:52}

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		Depends on the mistake and why it happened and the temperment of the dog. If it's biting or something more serious, training would be needed but if it's something silly like knocking something over, things like that happen and can be ignored.

Discipline:
 Fair corrections with a leash and collar, but it really depends on the temperment of the dog. After dogs know what "no" means a lot of corrections can be a simple word. For example our Grey is confident but came to us after biting the previous adopter's child and with food aggression issues, so for him I corrected by bopping him with a towel when he snarled, and rewarding him heavily for making good choices or allowing food to be taken away. I realize that not every dog needs a physical correction, and there are a million ideas on Purely Positive vs. Balanced training, but I have found balanced training works best. Fair corrections and fair rewards while respecting the dog and preserving their dignity is my go-to.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In the house

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 My husband is home after 2:30 in the afternoon, so would be home with Chief 4 days a week from 7-3 roughly.

Where would dog eat?
 Out of dog dishes

Where would dog sleep:
 In our bedroom

Play & exercise:
 We walk Chief daily already, usually at least an hour a day but he's pretty lazy. There's a dog park nearby, but I've found there are lots of unstable dogs there, so we usually go to a local state park instead for harder exercise a couple times a week.
So daily exercise until tired, and mental stimulation – obstacles, training, games or ball.
