Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Guinness, a dog with a personality as unique as his name. He's the epitome of independence, preferring to explore his surroundings at his own pace. He's also quite mellow, always calm and composed, rarely getting ruffled. But don't mistake his independence for aloofness. Guinness is fiercely loyal to those he trusts. However, he's a bit shy, so it might take some time for him to warm up to you. But once he does, you'll have a faithful companion for life. Guinness's independent nature makes him perfect for someone who appreciates a dog that can entertain himself, yet his loyalty ensures he'll always be by your side. Adopt Guinness and gain a steadfast friend. He is still learning how to share his treats and does not always get along with young children. Because of this, we are requiring that any children in his new home are age 10 or older. He may do well with other dogs in his new home after a slow introduction.
