Guinness von Gunzach is a gorgeous 2 year old fluffy Shepherd mix. This handsome, fluffy boy comes out of his kennel and takes a minute to get his bearing, so during his outings he prefers to stay close to you – with great leash manners - and even explore a bit once comfortable. Like the gentleman he is, Guinness shows his consummate skills at doggie group-walks, where he seamlessly blends in with a fairly large group of his furry-peers. At this point, our handsome boy appears to need a bit of time to settle in, preferring to first become comfortable with you before he “graduates” you to the canine pinnacle stage: petting. Once comfortable, however, he leans on you for attention and follows you everywhere. This smart cookie has a relaxing, medium-energy level, knows “Sit” and “Down” and takes treats gently. Guinness is proving himself quite adept at socializing in playgroups, which he enters with a happy and explore-to-your-heart’s-desire attitude. He meets the other furry-partiers with a wagging tail and invites them all to play. Then a remarkable thing happens: he comes over to where you are and starts bouncing around you. The message is unmistakable: “I like doggies, but I like my humans even more. So play with me!” Interestingly, he only does that when other dogs are around – maybe it’s a way of showing them who really take precedence in his heart? This fluffy beauty is one step away – an application – from becoming your very own. He informed us that he approved of his resume but wanted to make sure we include a note to the effect that he isn’t interested in making kitty-friends.
