Meet Guiness — an adorable, fun-loving pup who is ready to be someone's very special boy! Guiness is a sweet, playful and affectionate puppy who loves life! He enjoys being outside, having fun in the yard and playing with his favourite toys. He absolutely loves treats and is always happy to spend time with his people. He'll even come running to greet you when you arrive home—a pretty wonderful welcome after a long day!

Guiness gets along well with other dogs and is good with people and children. He can also live with cats, although a dog-savvy cat would be best, as he may be eager to turn them into a new playmate! He's also a good traveller and does well in the car. Guiness and his littermate had an uncertain beginning, so he is still learning that he never has to worry about where his next meal is coming from. He can be protective of his food with other dogs and will benefit from a patient, understanding family who can help him build confidence and trust.

He's also still working on his housetraining, as expected for a young pup. Guiness is ready for the fun part of puppyhood—the toys, adventures, cuddles and, most importantly, having a family who will love him for life. If you're looking for a playful little companion who will happily greet you with a wagging tail, Guiness could be the perfect addition to your family!
