A little about them

Guinness is a 15-pound black Yorkiepoo with a huge personality and a deeply affectionate nature. He loves being close to his favorite person, playing ball, giving kisses, and relaxing as a loyal couch companion.

Guinness is also a serious little self-appointed security guard. He can be protective and territorial, and may bark, nip, or bite when he perceives a threat or someone getting too close to his person. He is sensitive about handling around his rear end, which is a firm no-touch area for him.

Guinness would do best with an experienced, patient, dog-savvy adult who respects boundaries and can provide consistent structure, positive reinforcement, and appropriate behavioral guidance. A calm, predictable, adult-only household would give him the best chance to succeed.
