About Winnie Mae’s Breed: Our best guess is that Winnie Mae is an Irish Setter mixed breed. Irish Setters are joyful, athletic, and affectionate dogs known for their gorgeous red coats, expressive personalities, and eager‑to‑please nature. They’re smart, energetic, and thrive when given both mental and physical outlets — whether it’s exploring new trails, learning new skills, or simply being part of family life. Irish Setters are famously friendly and social, making them wonderful companions for people who enjoy an upbeat, enthusiastic dog with a lot of heart.

Their ideal home is one that offers activity, structure, and companionship. Irish Setters do best with families who enjoy outdoor adventures, regular exercise, and continued training to help channel their bright minds and youthful energy. They’re well‑suited for homes with active adopters, friendly dogs, and gentle, dog‑savvy kids. A household that appreciates a playful, affectionate dog who loves to be included in everything is where an Irish Setter truly shines.

What to Love about Winnie Mae:

Winnie Mae is still very much a puppy — happy, energetic, eager to learn, and always ready for fun! Winnie is incredibly smart and hopes her future family will continue her training, because she loves to please and picks things up quickly. She’s already potty trained, crate trained, and can even be left loose in the house when you’re gone. She does occasionally guard her crate, but she redirects well and continues to improve.

Winnie Mae is wonderful with all people, including kids, though her bouncy puppy enthusiasm means she’d do best with older, sturdier children. She loves other dogs, especially playful ones, and she’s even good with cats! This girl is a ray of sunshine with the cutest smile and a joyful zest for life. She’s an adventure‑ready pup who would make an amazing hiking or outdoor buddy — she’s great on a leash and always ready to hit the trails!

With her loving nature, playful spirit, and eagerness to learn, Winnie Mae would thrive with an active family who’s excited to help her grow into her best self. She has so much love to give — could she be your new adventure partner?
