Who is this dog for?

 My Husband and I. Hannah and William.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 We are a very active family that wants a playful and energetic companion. We love being outdoors and our puppy would never be home alone for more than 3 hours at a time. We have always loved corgis and we have our heart set on adding a corgi to our family but we feel very strongly about adopting rather than going through a breeder to give a dog in need a loving and active home.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 We live one block from Lincoln park throughout the year and in the summer we live at a summer camp on 300 acres. This dog will have more land and love than they will know what to do with. Our plan is that our dog will go with us everywhere.

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: 		We both have a background of working with kids and are extremely patient no matter who we are interacting with. Positive reinforcement is the most important skill to master when caring for a dog and we are very well trained in all aspects of behavior management. If a dog makes a mistake it is important to redirect rather than punish or shame. We will train our puppy with kindness and understanding while setting firm boundaries to encourage positive behavior.

Discipline:
 We would discipline our dog by replacing bad habits with good ones while redirecting negative behaviors. We firmly believe that dogs should never be punished and even if they do something wrong we do not train with negative reinforcement or isolation.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Our Pembroke would spend most of their time in our home or outside doing activities with the two of us. One of us is home a majority of the time and our puppy would never be alone for more than an hour or two at a time on any given day.

House dog or outside dog?

 House dog

People at home during the day?
 Yes my husband works from home during the week and we don’t do anything on the weekends that would not be dog friendly. We spend most of our free times taking walks, exercising, and spending time at home together.

Where would dog eat?
 They would have a good set up in our dining room or our kitchen.

Where would dog sleep:
 For the first few months we would want to crate train our corgi. Once comfortable in a crate we would most likely have our puppy sleep in our bedroom either at the foot of our bed or in a dog bed.

Play & exercise:
 We are fortunate to have the time in our day to spend as much time as possible with our dog. We are very active, live one block from Lincoln park in Chicago, and we would take our corgi on at least two long walks a day. We also have outdoor space at our condo that would be perfect for lounging in the sun.
