Julia, Rebel Soul Minis

Winnie came to us from my good friend Julia at Rebel Soul Minis. I had been having trouble with my knee and said that although I love my dogs closer to the 18-inch size, I can’t run like I used to. Julia had a pup in her litter she thought would be on the smaller end and would fit the bill.

Winnie is a petite 15½ inches. She has a spunky, can-do attitude and has been up for anything I’ve asked of her. She started herding lessons and, now that her pups are grown, we’re getting back to it. Barn Hunt and maybe some Rally are next.

Winnie is the dam of Maybel and of our 2025 litter with Jordie.

Ivy is from our Phaedra × Sterling cross and has a soft, sweet temperament as well as gorgeous structure. However, she hated to show: she lacks two single points for her AKC championship, but she disliked it so much I took pity and retired her.

She did some agility until my knees decided to rebel. She is retired and living the good life with Darlene and John here in Reno.
