Who is this dog for?

 My husband and I.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 Our first dog as a married couple has been our princess, Ophelia, a four year old female corgi. We love her energy, snuggly personality but also very independent. She is the head of the household! Corgis are so smart and loving. We love that she keeps up with our hiking but when she’s inevitably tired she’s not too big to carry. We love the corgis’ size because there’s plenty of room to have them in the car for travel and even on our kayaks (with life jackets of course!)

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Hiking, kayaking, daily walks, dog parks, road trips, camping. We’re hoping to get a jump set up in our back yard and a little agility course.

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: 		We would use positive reinforcement for training, treats, praise, etc. If they make a mistake we would keep trying to associate the correct way of whatever the situation is with treats and praise. We don’t believe in harsh tones or hitting! Just take the time to train and learn together.

Discipline:
 We do use the water bottle squirt method on our corgi now. We don’t spray her at this point, just having it out she knows to not bark or whatever she’s doing that we don’t want to continue. We really believe in focusing on the good behavior with treats and praise.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Inside the house and outside in our newly fenced backyard but ONLY when someone is home. Then wherever we are!

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes, I am self employed and work from home typically. My husband has been working from home during the covid19 pandemic with no plans to return to the office soon.

Where would dog eat?
 Inside the house, separate from our corgi now. Our girl hasn’t had to share food space with another a dog. We would keep them separate during food time until possibly until they could be on the same room but that would depend on how well they do. But we have plenty of room for them to be separated.

Where would dog sleep:
 She would be more than welcome in our bed. Our girl now sleeps under the bed in her dog beg and blankets around. Our new corgi would have a spot set up in our bedroom and see how she likes that then adjust to wherever she feels comfortable.

Play & exercise:
 We just got a new fenced in back yard! I’m hoping to get a little jump. I take my corgi now on walks around the neighborhood every morning I can, at least 4 times a week but typically more. We frequently visit dog parks and are just a few minutes from them. We love to take our girl kayak 1-3 times a week during the summer and let her swim. With a life jacket!

How will you exercise your dog?
 Both on leash and restrained to the yard

Fenced yard?

 Yes, I have a fenced in yard.

Willing to pick up dog waste?
 Yes, I will clean up after my dog.
