Who is this dog for?

 me, Sheila Addington

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I had a PWC for 14 years. I bought him at 6 weeks of age when my sons were 11 yrs old and 13 yrs old; he was like one of my kids. He grew to be my best friend and companion when my youngest son grew up and moved out. He made me happy; he made me laugh; he always made me smile; he was my little scoundrel at times, barking at the neighbors he saw every day (they got used to him!); we played tug of war, hide n seek, I sang to him, he slept in my room at the foot of my bed (I called it 'his' room), I could go on and on. I have had other breeds of dogs in my life, but he, by far, was the best. He was such a character! I have looked at getting another breed, but nothing compares.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I would take him/her to work with me a few days a week; play with him/her; take him/her for walks; camping; bye bye rides; watch tv and cuddle; sing and talk to him/her, etc.

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: 		The only "mistake" I could think of is urinating or pooping in the house. It would depend on the age of the Corgi. I know older dogs just have issues with that and I would already be prepared with pee pee pads by the door; otherwise, if I caught him or her in the act, I would quickly pick him/her up and take him outside and praise him. If I didn't catch him/her in the act, I'm not sure. But I would never yell or rub their nose in it as my parents did with my dog growing up.

Discipline:
 The only thing my Corgi did that was 'bad', like I said, was bark at the neighbors he saw every single day. I would tell him sternly 'NO BARK', but he just looked at me and kept barking. I gave the neighbor treats to give him to try to make friends, but that didn't work. I usually ended up bringing him inside, if I could. I learned my lesson with him…he knew I was a push over. Next time, we will take obedience classes and I will learn the correct way to discipline him/her.

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