Who is this dog for?

 Me, to have as a pet. I am an experienced dog owner (have had 3 dogs previously since they were puppies) who is enthusiastic about dogs and enjoys spending a lot of time outdoors and ensuring dogs get lots of exercise and play time!

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have always wanted to adopt a corgi. I love how intelligent they are, and how active. I am an active person, and the dog will match my lifestyle. I also think it is great how they are generally good with other dogs. I don't have any other dogs myself, nor do I have immediate plans to change this, but I have friends with dogs and live near a dog park. I would love to hang out with this corgi and play with them frequently! My cousins have two corgis who I have dog-sat for in the past, but I have never owned a corgi before myself (previous dogs include a golden doodle, shih tzu, jack Russell terrier).

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I take daily walks already, if not multiple, so I would definitely take my corgi with me. I also like to go hiking on the weekends, and would take my corgi. I love to swim in a family pool, or in lakes in the summer, and I would of course bring my corgi with me there as well. I would also socialize the corgi with other dogs based on their level of comfort. I have several close friends with dogs of various breeds and ages in the area to test out exposure, and also live near a dog park. And of course when it is a little colder and not as accessible to get outside, I will have plenty of toys to play with indoors.

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?

 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 my dog makes a mistake, I will give he or she an opportunity to succeed immediately after (if they are jumping or barking, ask them to lie down, for example). I will introduce new commands slowly and over time, making sure the dog understands what I want them to do fully.

Discipline:
 Generally verbal discipline. I prefer to use rewards to train and reward positive behavior, rather than any kind of physical punishment. I will continuously work with the dog to teach commands and reward positive behavior, and ensure all needs are met (emotional, physical, intellectual) so discipline is less necessary.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 He or she would spend most of their time in my home, which is a 2 bedroom home in the city with a patio and small yard. I work from home, so I will be here. They would of course also spend plenty of time outside in my neighborhood. They may also spend a good amount of time at a family home in Minnesota that has a large fenced in yard with a pool and two other dogs that live there.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes, I work from home.

Where would dog eat?
 In my kitchen with me

Where would dog sleep:
 In my bedroom in a dog bed, crate, or my bed, depending on what works best for the corgi and what they feel most comfortable with.

Play & exercise:
 I will take the corgi on multiple walks per day. I walk or jog at least 7 miles per day, and would bring the corgi on at least part of this, depending on their stamina and needs. I would play with the dog often as well indoors as well as throwing balls around in our small yard.

Fenced yard?
