Who is this dog for?

 An active, older, married couple, the applicants named above.
We’ve always had at least one dog, but our 16 year old Husky/Dane passed away last October.
Morgan is adjunct faculty in the Communication and Creative Arts department at Purdue University Northwest, Tony works freelance as a photographer, including for the Northwest Indiana Times. We are home a lot, take long walks daily, have a fenced yard, and would love to share it with a new dog.
Morgan fell in love with Corgis when she lived in Wales for a short while. We feel we would like to adopt 2 dogs at this time, one elder and one younger. It would be great if one of them was a Corgi or Corgi mix! We would like to meet a Corgi who would like a new family that includes 3 cats (all rescues, all lived with our dog), some fish, and a couple of birds.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 Inquisitiveness, outgoing personality, tenacity, loyalty, and independence all strike us very desirable traits in our human companions and we also admire it in our canine companions. Plus, animals that have a sense of humor, which it seems Corgis possess in a remarkable degree, are a source of great joy and wonder to us!

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Well, that depends on their age and temperament, but definitely we will pet them and play with them, ball toss, tug ball, frisbee, swimming, whatever they find enjoyable. We also provide toys for self-play. We are active, so if the dog is up for a daily walk or run, so are we. If they want to lounge on the couch, we’re down with that, as well. If they need obedience training, we will make that happen.

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: 		Don’t give attention to misguided behavior, time outs in crate or on dog bed. Take away toys. Use a different tone of voice to disrupt/stop unwanted behavior.

Discipline:
 Positive reinforcement: Reinforce wanted behaviors with verbal praise and/or ear rubs. If food motivated, treats in moderation.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 With us. Usually in the house or outside with us taking walks and/or playing in the yard. If a good car rider, they can accompany on trips to parks, beaches, etc.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes. I teach one day a week, Tony is freelance and works intermittently during the week. The dog would be attended to pretty much 24/7 by us. If we both need to be away longer than 6 hours, we hire a dog walker.

Where would dog eat?
 In the house. We have a split level and will probably feed the dog downstairs, as the cats eat upstairs.

Where would dog sleep:
 In the house, in their crate, if they prefer that over a dog bed in our bedroom or another room.
