Who is this dog for?

 the family

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I am a corgi nut. I have had other family members who owned corgis and fell in love with their temperaments. When I received my own corgi, it just felt right. It is a breed I understand and enjoy working with. Over the last 8 years, I have not only found myself other friends with great knowledge of the breed but I also have connections with breeders internationally who have spend much time with me to ensure I had all of the health information as well. I love the Pembroke but while in Germany, the cardigan was a little more popular and I can say that I am well versed in the Welsh corgis as a whole!

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 It is much harder to go out with my dogs here in the US so we mainly stick to parks, walks, and lots of play dates with other dogs and human friends. When we lived in Germany for 4 years, our corgi came with us EVERYWHERE. There were not may times he was home alone. Always out socializing, a lot of walking/touring, enjoying time with us in restaurants, and many car rides. My corgi has a love for tennis balls and "attacking" the shower, water hose, etc..

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?
 Yes

Willing to house train?

Willing to do formal training? Yes

Do you have a veterinarian?

 Yes

 {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: 		redirect and positive reinforcement,

Discipline:
 redirect and positive reinforcement. The most extreme I have to implement, is a "time-out" in their safe space/kennel. In those instances, there is never a raised voice or angry demeanor, simply just time to "cool off" before positive reinforcement. I have been very fortunate where I have not had to attend any type of behavior classes or need outside help to reign in an unruly dog.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 We currently have our hound mix who must be kenneled when we are not home as he becomes destructive when bored. Otherwise, I do not kennel our corgi and both dogs have free reign of the house.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 I am a full-time student and work part-time but I am home during the day when I can be. Right now, I have 1 full-day of school, 2 other days where It is only the morning or afternoon. I am a firm believer in take the dogs with when you can and if we are gone extended times of the day, have someone come check on the dogs.

Where would dog eat?
 Our hound rescue had serious food guarding when we first got him so he ate in his own enclosed area. Since both dogs eat within the same room at opposite ends and have learned to respect the space of the other dog until they walked away from their bowl. The dogs are never left unattended while eating just as a precaution. If there is a need for more space, I simply give them their own room for eating.

Where would dog sleep:
 Our hound mix sleeps in our son's room on his bed, and our corgi sleeps on our bed or the futon at the end of the bed depending on how much room he would like. The entire room is open to the dogs and would rather they sleep where comfortable.

Play & exercise:
 Have multiple dogs has its perks with play and excercise. Our corgi is not a "lets get crazy and play but our rescue LOVES to play. Our corgi loves tennis balls so we ensure plenty of time in the day to let him chase them. We go for walks as often as we can or take them to the dog park to burn off energy.
