About Whinnie
Meet Whinnie, a super happy and sweet-natured Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix with a gorgeous tricolour merle coat and a grin that brightens every day. She was born around 22 November 2024.
Staffy mixed with what, you ask? Border Collie is our guess. Whinnie has one blue eye and one brown eye, a harmless condition called heterochromia that is often inherited from a Border Collie ancester.
Whinnie's a fairly petite girl and weighed only 11.9 kgs on 22 July 2025. We estimate her weight at maturity will be around 16 kgs.
Now freed from life on a chain, Whinnie has revealed a resilient and delightful personality. She's eager to learn, eager to please and eager to play.
She is very people-focused and will make a loving and loyal family or companion dog. True to her Staffy roots, her smile is infectious, lighting up the room and lifting the spirits of everyone she meets.
Whinnie gets along famously with other dogs but is untested with cats.
She is currently learning the art of walking on a leash, making steady progress with each step.
Her good-natured temperament makes her a fantastic companion for all her human friends and a potential best friend for a canine mate.
If you're looking for a happy and lively companion who will brighten your days and warm your heart, Whinnie is ready to explore the world with you.
As always, secure fencing is essential to keep Whinnie safe.
