This is what the rescue had to say about him:

Guiness has recently been adopted - but the family are unablee to cope with him because he is quite a scared boy who will need time to adjust to his new surroundings. They only gave him 2 weeks to settle in! :evil:
At the age of approximately 4/5 months Guinness was found abandoned on a farm. He was unsocialised, malnourished and very frightened of people. The local farmer threatened to shoot him so a local family living nearby took him on.
From then Guinness has made excellent progress. He is a loving, gentle, caring and very faithful dog towards any member of his family. He still remains unsure, sometimes even frightened, of the new and the unknown – people, places, sounds and situations.
He accepts other dogs but is not happy being on his own. Unfortunately, a change in his family's circumstances has caused them to have to move to a new home where dogs are not permitted.
Guinness displays very strong Border Collie traits – he loves herding animals but does not hurt them. He also loves playing frisbee. He knows to give a right and left paw, sit, stay, lie down, roll over and has learnt some very basic sheepdog commands. He is not food aggressive and is very gentle when taking food from hand.
Guinness requires a firm and consistent handler who understands Border Collies’ behaviour and needs. He certainly requires an active life to keep his busy brain and energetic body in good shape. Guinness is fully house trained. He is used to sleeping and living indoors having free access to in and outdoors via a dog flap.
Guinness will require company most of the time.


He is a good boy, obviously very fazed by everything.

He is scrumptious! :love:
 
How is he with rabbits Erin? More to the point how are the bunnies with having a dog around?

Gosh you really do have your hands full now don't you with all of those different animals.

My bunnies are ALWAYS my first priority. He is well trained and this will be continued starting this wednesday.
 
He is gorgeous, they are the best dogs, I have one who is 10 months old and she is the love of my life. A fantastic dog who gets on with all my animals and is the best family dog ever. Congratulations on your newest addition:love::love::love:
 
I am utterly gob smacked how much of Spider's twin he looks.
I just showed my Mum and she thought it WAS Spider!!
I was thinking... could it be one of Spider's litter mates but then I think Spider was the only one without a blaze! :shock:
 
he does look alot like spider, he has the same submissive little face looking up at you :love::love:

he is very lovely!
 
What a beautiful dog. How lovely that he has found his forever home at last. Keep us posted with pictures and let us know how he's getting on. There are such intelligent dogs aren't they. He sounds lovely.
 
He sounds like a great dog to me, loads of potential. I bet you'll have lots of fun getting to know him and what a hansom chap too!
 
Aaaaaw Jacob is gorgeous. Am a huge Border Collie fan having our Merlin (nearly 13 now). I really hope he settles well with you as his new family
