About Guppy

Guppy is a delightful mix of Pug, Chihuahua, and Beagle, bringing a sweet and goofy energy to her new home. She's outgoing and loves attention from people, though she may be a bit shy upon first meeting. This young pup is full of energy, thriving in playtime with her siblings and enjoying silly antics with her toys. Being a puppy, she's still working on her manners, so she would do best with someone patient to help guide her. Guppy would likely get along well with another dog, particularly a male, and while she might chase cats, she can adjust to a cat-friendly environment with a slow introduction. A secure, physically fenced-in yard is essential for her, as she isn't leash-trained yet and needs a safe place to run around. An apartment setting isn't suitable for her active nature. Guppy is recommended for families with older children who are familiar with small breeds. She's ready to be a loyal companion for the right family.
