Who is this dog for?

 Both of us. We are a young couple looking to adopt a corgi into our family.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I (Andrew) grew up with a wonderful red and white Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Chibi. Chibi had an amazing personality. He was very friendly, playful, and intelligent. I really enjoyed being a part of the corgi community (in CT). We had a number of close relationships with other corgi owners and would bring the dogs together for playdates often. In my experience, corgis are an excellent dog breed and I'm hoping to provide a home to one in need now that I am living on my own.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We understand that daily exercise is very important for a corgi's health. We are planning multiple medium length walks per day. We would also occasionally go to the dog park or on hikes to provide additional exercise and socialization. We also understand that dogs need mental stimulation, so we plan to play games such as fetch, hide and seek, and chase (previous corgi loved to herd us around the house).

Aware that Pembrokes are busy, noisy dogs?
 Yes

Money for basic care?

 Yes

Money for unforeseen medical expenses?
 Yes

Willing to house train?

Willing to do formal training? Yes

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: 		We would redirect the dog, and be sure to consistently positively reinforce behaviors that we do want to see instead. For example, if the dog continuously jumped on people entering the home, we would redirect in the moment and praise the dog verbally and/or with treats for sitting when people enter.

Discipline:
 A stern voice command or removal of stimuli (i.e., food, toy, shoe, etc) depending on the situation. In previous experience, my corgi did not respond well to punishment so we relied heavily on redirection and positive reinforcement of desired behaviors.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In our apartment. We are currently working from home so the corgi would be with us for most of the day.
