Who is this dog for?

 Our family- 2 married adults and 3 children ages 15, 11, 9

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 My 11 year old daughter is obsessed with the cuteness and personality of the Corgi breed. I thought perhaps it would wear off, but 2 years later and she's still as enamored as the first time she saw them. She cries literally when she gets to play with them and the stickers of the Corgi align her notebook and waterbottle. Because of her joy, I've researched them and find them to be cuddly, cute dog friends, good for kids and family. They have long lifespans and just seem like a fun breed for our family dynamic. This would be my children's first dog, and I think a Corgi they could manage and be responsible to take care of him or her.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We would walk our dog daily. My commitment as I am going through chemo for breast cancer, is that we would get a dog as a reward for me making it through treatment. Then, I need to get up and get moving. Having a dog will help my kids to stay active, and will get me moving as well. Particularly once Corona virus breaks, we will desperately need and appreciate the exercise and ability to move.

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?
 Yes

Willing to house train?

Do you have a veterinarian?

 No

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: 		When we had a dog when I was a child, we would return him to the "scene of the crime" and talk to him to say "that's wrong." I'm not sure all the new age techniques, but I would want to have an expert share with us what strategies work to help teach the dog to follow 'the rules', without any abuse or harm coming to the dog. Dogs make mistakes. It happens.

Discipline:
 Some alone time, removing them from the scene, removing toys, not sure what else. No corporal punishment, not chaining the dog to a post. I don't believe in cruelty, but teaching the right behavior.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In the house, they would have their own space, maybe in our finished basement, but likely in the front living room of our house, or with my children.
