07/30/2015  Guinness was returned to us today.  His owner is very distressed over having to give him up.  She was not strong enough for him she said he needs a strong dominant individual.  And he also does not care for cats.  At first we were told he would do fine with cats and yes we did cat test him to make sure, please look at his other photos to see, but it would also depend on the cat if they like dogs.  Some cats just do not take to dogs.  WE also suggest NO KIDS.  He is housetrained, likes some dogs, does not care for male dogs,  happy, walks on a leash, runs free in house and he loves to play ball.  Guinness is available for adoption/fostering.

Guinness is a GOLDENDOODLE. He is an owner surrender because he was not doing well with the 11 year old child in the home.  Guinness is a wonderful dog and will do best in an adult home only.  He is housetrained, he likes walks/runs, is active but also  does well on a leash, likes car rides, and knows many verbal and hand commands.  Guiness would do best as the only dog in the home, but is Ok to share his turf with dog friendly cats.


In the 1990s, breeders in both North America and Australia began crossing golden retrievers with standard poodles.The original purpose of the cross was to attempt to develop guide dogs suitable for visually impaired individuals with allergies. The goldendoodle is sometimes called a designer dog. The Encyclopædia Britannicatraces the term "designer dog" to the late 20th century, when breeders began to cross purebred poodles with other purebred breeds in order to obtain a dog with the poodle's non-shedding coat, along with various desirable characteristics from other breeds. They 
are active dogs that do require exercise.  Guinness actually went for a long walk daily with his owner after work, and wiill continue to do best with an active couple. 
 


Though the Poodle has been known throughout Western Europe for at least 400 years, its origin is controversial. Whether it was developed in France, Germany, Denmark, or the ancient Piedmont, is uncertain. Despite the claims of several other countries, France has now been officially recognized as its country of origin, and the breed occupies a special place on the affections of the French. It is certain that the Poodle is descended from a now nearly extinct French water dog, the Barbet and possibly the Hungarian Water Hound. The name "Poodle" probably derives from the German word "Pudel," which means one who plays in water. The Poodle was used as a gun dog. Originally the breed was used in Germany and France as a retriever of waterfowl. Hunters clipped the dog's thick coat to help him swim, leaving hair on the leg joints to protect them from extreme cold and sharp reeds. The French capitalized on the breeds high intelligence, trainability and innate showmanship and made the Poodle into a circus performer. His great popularity in that country led to the breeds common name "French Poodle." In France, however, the Poodle is called the "Caniche," or duck dog. The Poodle has been used to sniff out truffles lying underground in the woods. Poodles are depicted in 15th century paintings and in bas-reliefs from the 1st century. Toy Poodles became royal favorites, particularly in the 18th century. The Toy and Miniature Poodles varieties were bred down from larger dogs, today known as Standard Poodles. The three sizes are considered as one breed and are judged by the same standard. Today, the Poodle is primarily a companion and show dog, though he can learn almost anything. The Standard Poodle is proud, elegant, dignified and good-natured. These dogs are highly intelligent and one of the most trainable breeds. They are pleasant, happy and sensitive. The Standard Poodle tends to be a bit calmer than the smaller variety of Poodles. They need to be with people and dislike being alone. For the most part they are generally friendly toward strangers, and are excellent with children. The Standard Poodle is good with other dogs. Some Standards are good guard dogs and some can be trained as hunters. They have a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years.
