Gender preferred:
 Either a Male or a Female
Color preferred:
 Any color
Activity level:

Other preferences:
 We have 2 cats and 2 dogs in the home. The cats aren’t particularly friendly with the dogs, but they tolerate them! One of our dogs is an 8-year-old spayed English bulldog who is pretty inactive. Our other dog is a neutered 7-year-old French bulldog who is easy-going but loves to play. He would love to have a dog that would play with him, as he tries to get the girl to play with him, usually without much success. Both dogs are puppy mill rescues who love everyone. I would especially enjoy having an active dog that would enjoy walking with me.

Who is this dog for?

 My husband (Glen) and me (Deb)

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I like that they are smart, active dogs. They are a good size for our household and current dogs—and they are adorable. (I love, love, love dogs who make me laugh, even if they’re sometimes naughty!) I have no first-hand experience with the breed, just having talked to Corgi owners about pros and cons of their dogs. I have read as much as I can about the breed and really think the right one could fit us nicely.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Daily walks, primarily. I would like a dog that would, hopefully, play with my Frenchie and enjoy games, but who would also like cuddling on the couch. I would enjoy teaching basic obedience and maybe a few tricks as well.

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: 		Give them an opportunity to make a correct decision and reward it.

Discipline:
 I believe in rewards based training rather than punishment. Corrections are never physical but either a verbal correction or ignoring the unwanted behavior, depending on the circumstances.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 At home. I work from home so I would be with the dog almost all the time. My dogs have a fenced in yard where I let them out several times a day. Otherwise, they have the run of the house. When we go on vacation, we either take the dogs with us or have a trusted house sitter stay in our house with them.
