Why do you want a Pembroke?
 In the last year or so, I have really come to love the Corgi breed. I grew up in a house with bad luck when it came to dogs. We had our first dog pass very young and then we had our second dog rehomed due to extreme aggression. I always wanted a dog in the home as a kid but, these two experiences shut the rest of my family down to adopting a new pup. When it came time for me to be out on my own as an adult and I began searching for a dog to call my own, I fell in love with the Corgi breed. Something I love about Corgi's is the joy that they bring to everyone. They have such fun, loving, spunky personalities to match my fun, loving, spunky personality. However, I've always struggled with the idea of getting a dog from a breeder knowing how many dogs out there need to be rescued. That is what led me to Lakeshore.
Overall, I want a companion dog in my life that will give me joy at home and joy to others when we leave the home. More than anything, I want to rescue a pup in need of a deserving home (ideally, a Corgi!) 🙂

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 I would love a Corgi that enjoys being social but, also loves to snuggle and relax. As I said above, I want a companion Corgi. I want to go on walks, explore new places, take the pup to dog-friendly breweries, coffee shops, etc. and snuggle at the end of a long day. I'm prepared to wait a while for the perfect Corgi that fits my life and I suit theirs in return!

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this: 		It depends on the extent of the mistake. I think small mistakes like the occasional accident can just happen when the dog is excited, etc. and I would not want to overreact about something small and easily fixable. Before preparing my dog to be a social dog, I would want to make sure it had gone through adequate training and that I felt confident in the dog and in myself as a handler to take the dog to social environments. I personally believe that a lot of these "mistakes" can be tied back to the owner's mishandling of certain situations.

Discipline:
 I think that most dogs, in my opinion, respond a lot more effectively to reinforcement than punishment. For me, this means being consistent about reinforcing the good behaviors the dog displays rather than getting upset and angry about the "bad" behavior. For example, if my dog liked to bark and pull when they saw a squirrel or another dog on a walk, I would work on stopping, have the dog sit, and then hold eye contact with a treat reward until this behavior replaced the barking behavior.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 In my place!

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 At the moment, no. However, my partner and I will be moving in together in the next few months and he works remotely. If an opportunity for adoption comes up at that time, he would be happy to fill out a co-adopter application.

Where would dog eat?
 A designated location (TBD) in the home.

Where would dog sleep:
 This depends on what the corgi is most comfortable with. I do not mind the dog sleeping with me, but if the crate or dog bed is more comfortable for the dog, I am very flexible on that.

Play & exercise:
 YES! Ideally, as much as possible. I am also a very active person so it would be fun to add my corgi into that routine.
