About Winston
Winston is such a special boy. He is wide eyed and open to life and experiences, as long as he has you beside him. He is a bit socially awkward but gentle. Curious and kind. Winston is fun and always super happy to be involved. We have been told he hasn't lived in a home with small kiddies or cats so would be more comfortable in an adult home or with older children. Winston tries very hard to get it right and will bond strongly. He is a leggy lad with some power behind him so an experienced dog owner is best. He loves being out and about, going for walks and he loves the water. Winston can be reactive to other dogs and will need an experienced owner. He also would love to have a work from home person or couple, even part of the day. He loves company and will be a beautiful companion right next to you. He is a lovely boy with a beautiful heart.
