Personality & Temperament Winnie is a classic shepherd—alert, thoughtful, and independent, but incredibly loving with her people. She may be cautious when faced with new situations or strangers, but once she knows she’s safe, she warms up quickly. She’s not one to be in your lap all the time, but she loves to be close and involved in whatever you’re doing. Training & Behavior This girl is wicked smart.
