Who is this dog for?

 Our family. Mom, Dad and 2 older kids, 20 & 18.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We just lost our 12-year-old black lab mix to cancer 2 days before Christmas. We knew we would get another dog, we just didn't know when or what breed. We know we want a smaller dog this time around. I took an online quiz to see which dog breed would best fit your family and, while I don't take a ton of stock in online quizzes, it did come up with a 95% match for the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. We had already been discussing corgis a lot in our house as it's a breed we adore. I do know 2 people with corgis. One of them I've been able to be around several times and I simply adore her. We are looking for an active dog but not as active as, say, a husky. Having had 2 lab mixes, the smaller size is also appealing. While we loved our labs to pieces, we are simply at a point of wanting something smaller, more manageable with dirty paws, coming up on the furniture and traveling with. I have done research on the breed. My husband and I invested a lot of time training our last 2 dogs, which we will do with the next dog we get as well. From what I've read about corgis, they are quite smart and eager to please. We believe in reward/praise-based training so it seems like a good fit. Lastly, we really want a dog that wants to love on us as much as we want to love on him/her..which is a lot.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Daily walks, indoor play, outdoor play and nearby dog parks, one of which does have an agility course (which I understand corgis can be quite skilled at).

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		We believe in a "no," followed by immediate redirection.

Discipline:
 The same as above. We are big believers in repetition, redirection and positive reinforcement when they behave well.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In our house & yard with us. My husband works from home so he is in the home most of the time. With my job being in fitness, I'm not at a 9-5 so I'm usually only gone a few hours at a time.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes. There's very rarely a time when no one is home. My husband works from home, I'm in and out throughout the day and our 2 children are in and out as well.

Where would dog eat?
 In our house. If he/she doesn't eat well near our cats we would simply create a space all her own.

Where would dog sleep:
 We believe in crate training so ideally in a crate in the master bedroom.

Play & exercise:
 At a minimum we took our previous dogs on daily walks, even in inclement weather. Our last dog was obsessed with fetch so she usually got a good half hour or more of fetch daily as well. We are an active family that likes to be outside and we like our dog to accompany us whenever possible.
