Who is this dog for?

 Our family. There are 3 of us now at home, our daughter Payton and Tom and I. Our son, Blake, is a freshman at Purdue University and is at home during breaks and summer. We have had 2 Corgis during the past 20+ years and we just lost our last Corgi. It is very quiet in our home. Tom only wants a Corgi :). Tom works from home a lot and enjoys having a dog by his side. We also like to go on walks in our neighborhood (even in the cold!) Our daughter wants a pal in the house as it is quieter now. Someone to sit and watch movies with while Tom and I are out.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 Our first Corgi we took home in 1995 – and had Corky the Corgi and then Arrow (like Arrow in Harry Nilsson's The Land of Point). We have loved our Corgi's before they became very popular. We know they SHED!!!!! Like A LOT. We have found our Corgi's to be very smart and easy to train and were able to teach them tricks. We love to take them on walks. We play chase around the house. Corky always wanted to be a puppy and sit on our lap. Arrow oddly enough LOVED water. We learned with Corky that they love food and so with Arrow we really stuck to keeping his weight in check not over feeding (but we still love to give treats). OH! We also know that they nudge you for constant attention and rub downs. So they get them. We boarded Arrow at a large farm like kennel where we knew he could go outside and run. We would do the same if/when we needed to board a new corgi.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We walk our dogs all the time. Tom misses going for an evening walk. I always did the early morning walk and we all did the in between. We could always tell when our dogs were bursting with engergy and would chase them around the house in circles. We have a park (large triangle of grass where people and their dogs gather) right across the street from our house. It would depend on a new dog and if they could be trained to listen and stay by us. But we would take Arrow over there and he would run around. If another dog came by they would play in the park until Arrow sat down and said he was done. I tried to train Arrow to fetch – it just wasn't his gig. We would time him on how fast he could destroy his Christmas toy presents from family. My daughter had started an instagram page – corgi_arrow_the_family_dog after friends kept asking us to have his own page. 3 years ago organically the 12 days of Christmas began on my facebook page dressing up Arrow. I don't think Corky would have ever gone for it.-HA! They all have their own personalities.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

 Yes

 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: 		Sternly tell them no. Depending put in his/her crate but don't want to make the dog not like the crate.

Discipline:
 Same as above. Depends on what the dog did. If the dog did go to the bathroom in the house we would show the dog where they went and then bring the dog inside. Then when the dog did something right praise the dog for the good behavior. We learned after our first dog that jumped on people that with Arrow we turned away from him when he jumped and ignored him. He rarely jumped on people.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Inside our home with us.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Tom is inside and out all day.. Many times he would take Arrow with him. Tom may leave around 11 in the morning but is in and out and then our daughter is home from school at 3. I am more sporatic in an out.

Where would dog eat?
 Depends on the dog. One of our dogs only ate when we were eating – like he was a person only to eat dinner when we did. Otherwise we kept the food in the mud room just off the kitchen.

Where would dog sleep:
 In our bedroom or in the mud room. We kennel trained our dogs in the beginning and then put the kennels away after they were trained.

Play & exercise:
 Lots of walks and then chasing around the house. They are little bullets! Our house has a fence on 3 sides but we would gate our drive way if a new dog would require as he/she would not be trained to stay with us or in the yard. We were lucky with our last dog. He stayed, yet he would still look at us and try to tip toe away but we watched him. We were in a different house with our first Corgi and had a fully fenced yard.

Description of yard:
