Who is this dog for?

 Myself—Carrie Babbe

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I have been wanting another dog for a while and my sister has owned two corgis so I’ve fallen in love with this breed. I would like to adopt a dog for companionship, a walking partner, to increase the fun in my life and to provide a good home to a needy corgi. My experience with my sister’s corgis was with one very calm, smart, lovable but somewhat aloof yet good natured and loving corgi (who was a rescue) and now to her current high-energy, crazy smart, bossy, herding and equally loving dog. I’ve researched the breed and know how they need to be part of a family, are high energy and enjoy activities and walks and that they love to bark—especially when they want to play a game of catch or notice that the mailman is across the street. I know about health issues that arise and that they are prone to many serious issues like spinal cord diseases, hip problems, eye and lung issues. I’m prepared to deal with those problems as well as the issues from normal aging. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to adopt a corgi and give her a loving, safe and fun-filled life.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Walking, biking riding (in a burley), visiting dog parks, obedience classes, riding in a boat and spending time with friends and family, etc. I’m an somewhat active person who enjoys being outside and on the go, so my dog will fully be part of my life. She will also have plenty of space to relax and have any quiet time that she needs.

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: 		Depends on what it is. Most likely I’d redirect her and reward the good behavior. If she had an accident inside the house and I see it happening, I would interrupt with a command like “outside” and then take her out to finish the job. If she had an accident I didn’t catch, I would take her outside and clean up the mess because that was probably my fault. If the dog is impulsive or jumping on people, I would train her to recognize the“wait” command so she didn’t jump on people. I’d also follow the commands recognized by the trainers in obedience classes. I would never use physical punishment such as striking them, denying them good or comfort or leaving them outside alone.

Discipline:
 Distract her from bad behavior with “no” or a noise to get her attention and redirect her, maybe give her a timeout in her dog bed. After I tell her know, tell her to sit fir a bit so she calms down

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In my home—roaming freely since I work from home.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Just me.

Where would dog eat?
 A high quality dog food in portions that are appropriate for her age and/or special health needs. There will be no table scraps. If the vet thinks it is acceptable for her, I would provide raw carrots or apples since I know corgis have appetites 🙂

Where would dog sleep:
 In my bedroom on a dog bed. Initially, she I may use a safe, large in-home crate/kennel in my bedroom so she feels safe and is able to stay safe in my home during transition into her new home.

Play & exercise:
 She will have daily walks supplemented with time at the dog park and helping me garden. We will also play in the house.

In spring, summer and fall, she will be outside with me about 3-4 hours (maybe more on wknds) a day. Winters in Iowa can be cold so outside will be for daily walks but more play inside.
