Who is this dog for?

 This dog would be for me but would also come into contact with and be loved by my three grandchildren and their parents who visit quite often.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 My first introduction to this breed was several years ago. Our neighbors at the time introduced us to their 2 Welsh Corgis. I instantly fell in love with their affectionate and smart personalities. I had young children then and the Corgis became instant buddies. I also just love the way they look! Those short little legs and big ears made me smile years ago and still do to this day. One site described them as "big dogs in a small body" and that appeals to me.
I have done research on the AKC website and sites like yours to familiarize myself with the pros and cons of having a Corgi.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Now that I am retired, I have found that my dog has become a much more integral part of my daily routine. I love to walk and I have a bike path just across the street so we would head there on a daily basis.. I spend quite a bit of time gardening outside and enjoy having a dog with me when I do that as well. Playing fetch, petting and being cozy together and hanging out in the evening while I read or watch TV are other activities I have enjoyed with my dogs before and look forward to doing once again.

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: 		If you mean a mistake in the house training department…
I would show my disappointment with a facial expression and by saying "no" in a firm but calm voice and then take the dog outside immediately. If and when the dog goes in the right place – outside – I would praise him/her greatly.

Discipline:
 I think that discipline starts with lots of love, exercise and attention. If you don't have a caring relationship with the dog they won't be too interested in what method of discipline is used. To be honest, pretty much all I have used was my tone of voice – firm but not yelling – and a grumpy face. Barking can be a challenge and I would probably need some advice with that.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 When I am home the dog would spend his/her time hanging out with me and doing what I do. Of course that would include walking and quite a bit of outside time when weather permits. I do some part time teaching (half days a couple times a week) and, while I am gone, depending on the dog's temperament, I would either give him/her the run of the house or use a kennel.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Only me

Where would dog eat?
 In my kitchen

Where would dog sleep:
 Ok – I will confess – I let my dogs up on my bed if they are comfortable with that. If they are not comfortable with that I always have a dog bed just for them.

Play & exercise:
 I walk my dogs a couple of times a day. I live near a bike path and that is where I always have gone with my dogs. I like to play with my dogs whether that is playing fetch or just goofing around inside and outside the house. We do that pretty much every day. My daughter and her husband (with the 3 grandchildren) have a boxer mix that is a sweet fellow and my dogs – from the little maltese to the big old lab mix – have always enjoyed his company. I have never been a fan of dog parks. I prefer a more controlled setting for safety's sake.
