Who is this dog for?

 For me 🙂 I have always enjoyed corgis and have done lots of research into them. I am graduating soon and will be able to support (time, attention, and funds) and give a loving home to a corgi.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I want to adopt a corgi because I find them a very lovable breed of dogs. They are very happy, go-lucky dogs and always bring a smile to my face. I have grownup surrounded by dogs and my favorite was a corgi my family owned for 2 years. These dogs can always make me smile. I enjoy the big dog personality in a small package. I have done a lot of research into this breed because I want to give my future dog the best living situation I can. I have done research into diet, exercise, living style, training, and health problems that could arise. I also love the loyalty these dogs can provide.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 My Pembroke will be by my side as much as possible. I enjoy taking walks, running, and going for hikes, all of which they would join me for. I would like to be able to sit and cuddle with them after the day is ending. Furthermore, I enjoy camping and when I go they would come with me. I would also like for my Pembroke to be my companion and keep me company. They will help to create a home I enjoy going back to.

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: 		I plan on using positive reinforcement with my Pembroke and when mistakes happen I will use the would "no" as a cue to stop that behavior. I will not hit, harm, yell, or scream at my corgi. After catching the act of negative behavior, I will tell them "no" and then redirect to a positive behavior, followed by a reward for that behavior. By using positive reinforcement, I hope to encourage the good behaviors I wish to see.

Discipline:
 I will use positive reinforcement and redirection. Also I will spend lots of time and use patience to help with training.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Most of their time will be spent by my side. I would like to allow them to free roam my apartment in my parents house. I also plan on walking/running, as well as playing outside (not in extreme temperatures or weather), in order to give them adequate exercise.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes. I will be living with my parents and one of my sisters. I will be working 3-4 night shifts a week and will be home during the day to care for them. On nights that I am at work, I have already discussed with my mom and sister to help me care for my Pembroke.

Where would dog eat?
 My corgi will have a designated place for their food and water in my kitchen. This will be where I feed them meals and store their food. I will also have a water bowl in the bathroom and one outside.

Where would dog sleep:
 My corgi will sleep with me either in my bed or next to my bed in their own bed. I will give them both options and they may choose their preference.

Play & exercise:
 I plan on running with my dog after I wake up and going for walks around mid day and before going to sleep. Walks will include a trip to the park in my neighborhood where they can run off-leash once they understand the come command. After walks, I plan on playing with them in the yard by throwing toys or just chasing each other around. Another chance for play they corgi will have is with my parent's dogs. Both are very friendly and love to play with other dogs. This will give my corgi an opportunity to socialize and run with someone faster than myself. They will get a minimum of an hour and a half of exercise each day.
