When you are picking out a new puppy for the family, you can’t really tell what type of personality they will have right away.

Sometimes a puppy is very calm at first, but once it gets comfortable with you, it goes a little crazy.

That’s what happened to this TikToker, so they made a video about it. It begins with the little puppy walking calmly around, and the video has a caption saying, “The pup we thought we were buying…”

It is definitely cute.

Then the music changes and the puppy starts going wild, playing and jumping. The caption changes to, “The pup we got.”

The dog looks so happy, though!

In the description of the video it says, “We got told she was the timid one. I very much disagree.”

Maybe she isn’t timid, but it does look like a lot of fun.

For those who wanted to know, they put the breed in the description as well, “Adorable Puppy Surprises: Golden Retriever and Border Collie.”

Puppies are a lot of work, but they are also a lot of fun.

And this one seems to be especially cute.

Check out the puppy in action in the video below.

Calm and timid or wild and crazy, this dog is a lot of fun.
