Who is this dog for?

 Self

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have had a love for this breed from the first time I saw a picture of the Queen with her Corgis on a blanket in the Scottish highlands. Took me 35 years to get one but I did. I have had three rescue Pembroke Corgis. Sugar, my first for 6 years until she passed from cancer, Roger #2 for 8 years and he passed from a brain tumor, and Tater Tot for 3 years and he just passed from DM.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Lots of walks and socializing with my friends that have dogs in the neighborhood. I would also love to try agility and/ or a therapy dog for nursing homes.

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: 		Train them into the correct behavior or action. I am not personally a fan of "clicker" training but I do very much like to use positive verbal reinforcement. I have a certified trainer that I use to assist me just to make sure my timing is correct.

Discipline:
 A stern no. NEVER physicals discipline. I try to turn it around with a way to do positive reinforcement. ie. going potty inside will turn into more frequent trips outside with much praise for the correct behavior. Having 3 Corgis before I understand how to be stern but not mean or a pushover.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 During the work week the dog will be at home Kenneled until I can trust them on their own. I do have a dog walker that comes every day at lunchtime for a half hour. On the weekends I spend most of the weekend with the dog at home, or walks or a park. In addition to the noon walk I do walk my dos 3 additional times: Morning, after work and bedtime.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 No, not during the work week but I do have a dog walker come daily at lunch for 1/2 hour. She is a HUGE fan of corgis so a lot of times she will spend extra time in the house with the dog. I trust her implicitly so she can come and go as she pleases.

Where would dog eat?
 They would eat in the breakfast room

Where would dog sleep:
 Either a open kennel or dog bed next to my bed. They will find a spot most comfortable. All three of my dogs needed to be within eye shot of me.

Play & exercise:
 I walk my dogs 3 times a day in addition to the noon walk on the weekdays. Weekends I generally go on a 2-3 mile walk Sat and Sun. If they take to playing ball then we can do that in the basement or I like some dog parks too.
