About Winnie
Winnie is athletic and affectionate. She is a working dog to her core and would love to stay outside and watch the goats all day, if we would let her. She is not that interested in toys but loves a good bone or chew toy. She loves to chase her pack mates in games of tag and curl up on the couch for naps.
