WINNIE - CATTLE DOG / BORDER COLLIE / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Cattle Dog / Border Collie / Mixed. Meet Winnie, a joyful bouncy border collie cattle dog mix that’s ready to be your very best friend! Winnie is about 45 lbs, and about 3 years old. She is a quick study, very affectionate, and has been learning so much in her foster home. This cutie patootie is full of sweetness and puppy energy that’s very endearing. She loves to cuddle and crawl into your lap. She’s equally goofy and so proud of herself when she’s showing off her tricks. Her foster mom says she reminds her of a kangaroo bc she loves to use her paws and often stands or sits up on her back legs! Toys are her very favorite things, and she often plays with them by herself. Winnie will do best in a home where she has a dog buddy to play with and a home that’s got an active lifestyle that she can be a part of. The right family will want to continue training with her as she truly thrives with structure and direction (very true for her breed ). A home with a fence yard would be great so she can play and run freely. Winnie has been doing great in her foster home and is eager to please. She gets along really well with their resident dog, and has been pretty neutral towards the family cat! When left alone at home she does great her in crate, and her foster mom doesn’t work from home so she's comfortable being alone over 4+ hours. She takes treats very gently, and knows a range of tricks: down, sit, look at me, kennel, come, up top (she gives you two hi fives!), go lie down, and drop it! She is great on leash, and in her video you can see she has been doing great in learning to stay close off leash that her foster mom is practicing in a fenced area. We mentioned she’s a quick study right?? If you’re looking for an adventure buddy that’s sweet as honey, smart, and affectionate with a solid start in training Winnie’s your girl!
