Who is this dog for?

 This Pembroke would be for me.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 I grew up around Pembrokes, and while never owning one of my own, their little breed quirks have stole my heart for years. I was a 10 year 4-H member, completing all 10 years of the Dog program. I saw many breeds and mutts go through the program, but the Corgis always caught my attention. I have been obsessed with the AKC since I was young, so I have done research for years on different breeds, Pembroke Welsh Corgis included. I have also done recent research on raising Pembrokes and keeping them happy.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I am lucky that my apartment I currently live in offers a rooftop doggy park, complete with a fire hydrant for them to pee on. I live on the Indianapolis Canal, so I plan to take him or her on daily walk to the White River State Park. I would also just make sure to give them lots of stimuli in toys and activity, but I would also make sure to spend time snuggling and caring for them. I live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood, so they would have lots to do between events hosted by the front office and the dog-friendly brewery down the street.

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: 		Positive reinforcement. Negative reinforcement does nothing other than make the dog fearful. I would praise the dog for doing things right, and work to make that their preferred behavior. No dog is perfect.

Discipline:
 Positive reinforcement is the method of discipline I use. I praise them when they do things they should be, such as being quiet when friends are visiting, peeing outside, etc. When they are being noisy, I "ignore" them and do not give them attention. This conditions the dog to think bark = attention. This method has worked well for me in the past.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 They would spend the majority of their time in my apartment, which includes a balcony. Daily (or even twice daily) walks would definitely be included, though.
