Winnie quick Facts

·       Chocolate & Tan, short Hair female Dachshund who is 6 years old female weighing 7kg

About Winnie

WINNY is an intelligent and playful dachshund who combines a quiet demeanour with affection. Her bright, curious nature makes her a delightful companion, and she's already shown tremendous progress in her foster home alongside two dachshunds and two labradors. Winnie is at times a little shy and doesn’t always love the chaos of a busy household, however she will happily pop herself on her bed where she feel’s safe. Winnie also loves her blankets and will bury, tug and spin until she has successfully wrapped herself up like a burrito for bedtime.

Personality Highlights

Winnie is a quick learner who responds well to her name and the "come" command, especially treats are involved! She knows how to sit and wait for her food and loves a belly rub. While she prefers to be around her person with her quiet nature she quickly comes out of her shell when there is a ball or food involved. She's particularly fond of tennis balls and playtime, though she needs durable toys due to her enthusiastic chewing habits, our dear Win Win only chew’s her own toys. Winnie has shown little interest in our chicken’s and small birds, she appears to have a low prey drive, Winnie is not overly interested in our cat and has not shown aggression towards her.

Current Training Progress

·       House Training: Winnie is fully house trained and uses a potty mat, reliably using the yard during daytime hours would do well with a doggy door. 

  • Lead Skills: Enjoys walks and car rides, although can whinge a little in the car, she is getting better with each trip. 

·       Social Skills: Winnie is a great guard dog and likes to alert her people when there is a knock at the door, however, she is a social girl who enjoys meeting new people and pups.

Daily Care

·       Diet: Currently on dry food twice daily (Super Coat). Winnie loves food and does need to have her weight watched.

  • Exercise: Enjoys active playtime and regular walks. Loves exploring in the garden and following her nose. However, due to her quiet personality she will happily lay around on a matt by your feet most of the day.
  • Sleep: Settles well through the night and sleeps in her pen with another Dashy. 

·       Behaviour: No food or toy aggression, shares well with other dogs.

Winnie would flourish in a home that offers:

·       Patient owners committed to continuing her socialization journey. 

  • A calm, structured environment with lots of cuddles and belly rubs.
  • A family home with older children (6+) and/or another dog.
  • A secure yard for exercise and bathroom breaks

Health Status
