Other preferences:
 We live on an 86 acre pine plantation but currently the only other animal is our 12 year old cat Mia. She is mostly outside especially in summer and comes in at night. In winter she does go out but only for a little bit, mostly retreats to the basement where her food, litter box and way too many toys are. She's wasn't real cuddly with Jake my dog who passed away suddenly last November, but she would play with him. And they would tease each other, sometimes tag team voles or frogs under our deck. That was hilarious! Both were just very independent and with so much space and different places to be (chicken coops, greenhouse, garage, and barn) did their own thing. Jake was Farm Security (25lb Maltese mix) but he protected his chickens and ducks from every predator you can imagine. Foxes, coyotes, bobcat, raccoons, deer in our garden, even treed a bear one time. So the only security act I would like is to let us know if someone pulls in the driveway. Easy enough for every dog I've ever had. Obviously with such a big property a fenced in yard is not going to work. But I do have a long tie out both by the house and greenhouse. Otherwise leash is the way to go until we develop trust, respect, training, and rules are established. We do have some crates or kennels if that is what we decide to utilize. But like I said someone is pretty much always home, so we didn't use any with Jake. He mostly just went with us. Both my Dad and I have had several dogs in our lives. My Dad bred German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers when I was just a baby. And trained the German Shepherds for securing the property at our General Store.

Who is this dog for?

 Me, but I guess I can share with my Dad if I really have too. He is retired and is pretty much always home, so the new addition to our family will not have to spend much time alone.

Why do you want a Pembroke?
 A close friend of ours had a Corgi 'Bubba'and he also had a farm, horses, cows, chickens, and goats. He even had dog bed in his tractor cab for him! And hewould ALWAYS be with him whether going on jobs for his plumbing business or just popping in to visit us (he lived just around the corner) And our house is small so a small-medium size dog is perfect for us. I have done some research on the breed and it seems like a great fit to our family.

Activities planned with Pembroke:
 Play, teach tricks, go on adventures, car rides, cuddle, and most importantly just be best friends. The next question below lists all qualities I look for and love in my previous dogs.

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?

 Yes

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: 		I take a more positive reinforcement approach when it comes to training. It's going to be a process for both of us to learn our roles and establish a bond. But I prefer to take a calm approach, mistakes are a part of life. As long as you learn from them and do better next time that's fine with me. Forward is forward, even if it is only a step at a time.

Discipline:
 Positive reinforcement. I explain & show my dog that the behavior or action is not acceptable. I also use treats for training, because every dog I have had was always very food motivated.

Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:
 Inside, outside, by me or my Dad, whatever works best for them at that time is fine with me. I'm very easy going and like I mentioned before, someone is pretty much always home so the most they would be alone for is about an hour. But at night they will be in my bed. With their own blankets and pillows (on the couch too) unless they want to go by my Dad that's ok. I guess I can share lol

Description of yard:

 No swimming pools here. It's a farm, so chicken coops, greenhouse, garden, garage, and the remnants of our old barn (it burned down so the foundation and cow stanchions is pretty much all that is left.) Our house and buildings are on 5 acres, with the other 81 acres being the pine plantation. There are fire lanes throughout that part of the property. We have worked with the USDA and NRCS and harvested wood every 10-15 years or so as they recommended us to do. Our garden area with the greenhouse is 1 acre enclosed with an electric fence, we used to competitively grow giant pumpkins and sold organic produce every summer. But due to a decline in my Dad's health that hasn't happened in a few years.
