Who is this dog for?

 Us (2 adults, no children)

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I grew up with a pembroke Welsh corgi (Sophie) and also rescued a pembroke Welsh corgi in 2012 whose name was Charlie. He passed away in 2018 from an inoperable brain tumor and after a few months I was ready to get another dog which is when we got Banjo, our 8 month old corgi. We are absolutely in love with the breed because of their amazing, big personalities. Having owned 3 corgis before I feel that I understand the breed well and what their needs are.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I have a large fenced in backyard where we play with our corgi and we also live in a very walkable neighbor close to a dog park where we like to bring Banjo. We also attend various corgi meet ups throughout the year in Grand Rapids. Trevor and I work from home regularly throughout the week so we are home with Banjo a lot and take him for frequent walks which he loves.

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: 		We use simple cues and 1 word (“eh-eh”) to let Banjo know when we don’t like something he is doing (jumping up on people when they walk in the door, etc). We find this helps so he doesn’t get confused if we try too many different methods/words. We do not use any sort of physical punishment (swatting, rubbing his nose in an accident when he was being house trained, etc)

Discipline:
 Never physical, only verbal cues or hand cues. We believe it is important to keep commands simple.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 We work from home pretty regularly so now that Banjo is house trained he basically has the run of the house when we are home but we always keep him near us because he is still a puppy and we know he can still get curious and get into things. When we leave he goes in his crate or we take him with us whenever safe/possible. The same would go fo another Pembroke in our home.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes. The longest we have ever left Banjo home alone (in his crate) has been 4 hours.

Where would dog eat?
 We keep dishes in the kitchen, but we measure out the food twice per day. We would keep their dishes separate from each other in the kitchen.

Where would dog sleep:
 Banjo has a bed next to our bed and we have stairs he can use if he wants to come sleep next to us at all during the night. We keep our bedroom door closed so he stays near us all night.

Play & exercise:
 Or corgi, Banjo, LOVES other dogs and would love to have another dog to play with. We also have a large fenced in backyard with a lot of room to run. We live in a neighborhood with many places to walk, including a dog park just 2-3 blocks away.
