A Little Bit About Me

Winnie is a young adult female Corgi ( with 9% Cattle dog also) seeking a new home who is active, playful, likes to be outside burning some energy, also loves cuddling... and she needs to be the only dog in the home, and either have a fenced yard or a firm commitment to leash exercise- she does run when she gets loose. Winnie was previously adopted from us and despite extensive work with trainers and a deep commitment from her adopter, she is not doing well with the other dog in the home. We feel she needs to be the only dog in her home, although she does well meeting other dogs out and about and for visits. It's once she gets territorial of a place that she starts to become too bossy. She'd be great with older kids/teens, is good with dog-savvy cats, loves to cuddle and play. She has some wild energy that she needs to get out, but that can be managed with exercise and training. She loves to jump on top of people, wildly lick faces, leap off the back of the couch, etc. She will need regular exercise and boundaries. But she also loves to cuddle once she calms down, and will curl up next to you (or on top of you) whenever she can. She's very people-focused. She is super smart. She picks things up quickly, and wants to please you. So training is easy with her - she doesn't even always need treats; lavish praise and belly rubs also work. But because of her brains, she also knows how to push the boundaries and try to skate past the rules. So consistency is key. She would probably do great if anyone wanted to do agility or herding classes or anything like that with her. She eats everything. The only toys I've found for her are Playology bones/balls - I'll send her favorites with her. She loves to chew, but once she starts to get pieces off or finds stuffing, she actually eats it. So she has to be watched with toys. She will also eat anything she finds on the floor, edible or not. She crates beautifully. She'll start to whine a little if she can hear the family is out while she's locked up, or when she has to go outside in the morning. But otherwise she does great. However, she can also be trusted out in the house while you're gone - she doesn't destroy furniture or do anything that would be a concern. (Just make sure there's nothing within reach that she could eat...). Due to poor breeding, she has the start of bad hips already ( not likely to affect her for several years, but it's there) and is missing some teeth.She is otherwise healthy, happy, and ready to be the queen of her new home and adore all the humans there!
