Who is this dog for?

 My husband and I

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have had several (6 in all) Pembrokes in my 67 years, three of which were part of my adult life. I’ve got my husband hooked on them, too! After 60 years of knowing this breed, I guess you could say they have become a part of me. I can’t seem to go too long without needing one in my home. Anyone who has ever owned a corgi will understand this. We love the idea of giving a rescued dog a home, so we have two rescues, but rescued corgis are very difficult to find. The trait I find most appealing in corgis is their intelligence and self-confidence. I also find them very loving and playful with an almost quirky sense of humor. I love how they want to have a “job” and if one is not assigned to them, they will assign one to themselves. They are truly the breed of my heart!

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We take walks with our dogs and have plenty of toys for them to play with, either alone or with us. Being retired, we are with our dogs almost all the time. We rarely leave them alone for more than an hour or two.

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 I was present when the “mistake” happened, I would verbally correct. If I was not present when it happened, I would either ignore it or show it to my dog and verbally correct, depending on what the “mistake” was. My policy is that if I’m not there to see it being done, I’ve pretty much lost my chance to let my dog know what is right and what is wrong. That’s why I feel that if you want to live with a dog, you’ve got to be around most of the time.

Discipline:
 I usually use verbal cues, like a stern tone of voice or I may totally ignore him or her if I feel the bad behavior is a way to get attention. I also use positive reinforcement.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 With us in our home or, on nice days, outside in our huge, fenced-in yard.

Play & exercise:
 We have a very large fenced yard with plenty of trees for shade and room to run and play with each other. We take them for a walk twice a day around our three acres of property and sometimes around the neighborhood on leash. We especially like to let them run off leash around our property, and we train them as to the parameters by walking with them around the lot lines. We never let them run off leash outside of our fenced area.

 Both on leash and restrained to the yard

Fenced yard?
