About Winnie
## Meet Winnie!
Hi, I’m Winnie, a ridiculously cute Dachshund x Pug with stumpy little legs, a squishy little nose and a whole lot of personality packed into one adorable little body!
I might be short in the leg department, but I certainly make up for it in character! I’m a happy, social and friendly little girl who loves meeting people, making friends and being involved in absolutely everything. I’m the kind of dog you can take just about anywhere, and I’ll happily tag along for whatever adventure you have planned.
Now, I should probably mention that I’m still very much a puppy at heart! I get excited pretty easily and sometimes forget my manners, which means I might jump up, grab onto things or have a little chew on something I probably shouldn't. I'm still learning what's okay and what's not, so I'll need a family who can continue teaching me with patience, consistency and plenty of positive reinforcement.
I absolutely adore children and have been wonderfully calm and patient with the little humans in my current home, even when they get a bit overenthusiastic with their cuddles and attention. Of course, I'd still appreciate having my own space when I need a break, and a family who can help teach little ones to be gentle with me.
I'm also a big fan of other animals! I love the cats in my home and regularly try to convince them to play with me. And don't let my tiny legs fool you, I think I'm a much bigger dog than I actually am! I love rough and tumble playtime with my Bull Arab buddy and have absolutely no idea that I'm the little one in the friendship.
When I'm not busy playing or getting up to mischief, I'm a champion snuggler. I love nothing more than curling up in bed, preferably on or beside my humans, and having a good cuddle. I'm also a fantastic little travelling companion. Pop me in the car and I'll happily lie down and snooze while you drive. I’m crate trained too and will happily head into my crate when asked.
I do have a bit of a voice, and sometimes I like to let the neighbours know I'm around with my rather high-pitched bark. It's something my new family might need to help me work on, along with my excitement and puppy chewing habits.
My toilet training is coming along well, and as long as you pay attention to my cues and let me outside when I need to go, I do a great job. I'll just need someone who can keep up that routine while I settle into my new home.
I'm looking for an active family or person who enjoys daily walks, adventures and having a little companion by their side. I'd love a home where someone has the time to continue my training, keep me entertained and help me grow into the well-mannered little lady I know I can be.
I'm funny, affectionate, playful and just a little bit cheeky, with so much love to give. I might have stumpy little pegs, but I've got a huge personality and an even bigger heart!
If you're looking for a unique little sidekick who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes and then snuggle up beside you at the end of the day, I might just be your girl!-
