Who is this dog for?

 I've been this breed's biggest fan for a long time, both for their goofy sweetness that constantly makes my laugh and for that slightly stubborn, independent toughness that also makes them such great working dogs. This dog would join myself and my partner (a field medic and another lifelong dog owner) in our new family-friendly and dog-filled neighborhood near the hospital I work at, and we work opposite schedules so can ensure that one of us will be home with our new family member nearly all the time.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I've been this breed's biggest fan for a long time, both for their goofy sweetness that constantly makes my laugh and for that slightly stubborn, independent toughness that also makes them such great working dogs…plus that Corgi butt, of course. My family had a Corgi mix as a kid who was just the right combination of cuddly and independent, and several good friends currently own Corgis so we'd be setting up some playdates, too!

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Our neighborhood and social circle is extremely dog friendly, so plenty of walking and exploring nearby parks. I'd also love to get involved with some therapy dog work in the hospital, but that would be very dependent on the dog's prior socialization and comfort level with noise, smells, and new people.

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?

 No

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: 		I used to train horses for competitions (and occasionally still help my mom with her agility dogs) so I know full well that mistakes happen! I just ensure that the dog understands its a mistake, which usually means a firm, disappointed tone of voice if pointing to an accident or simply withholding the treat if working on obedience, but then it's forgotten in a matter of minutes and you move on to the next thing.

Discipline:
 More or less the same as above, plus a lot of positive reinforcement! I try to make it really worth their while to do the right thing, whether with treats, attention, or play, and then there's less of a need for that stern voice.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In our 2-bedroom, single story unit or out in our neighborhood with us. We have several daycares in the area that have come highly recommended if our schedules change in the future, though at this point there would be little need for a dog walker or daycare while we work opposite hours.

 Depending on its preference, a dog bed in the hall or in our bedroom – possibly on the bed (I'd try not to set that precedent, but if they already did I wouldn't mind!).
