Squishy face and a soft spot for belly rubs... this is Gordo, and yes, his name fits him in the sweetest, most endearing way. He's about 69 lbs. of American Bully goodness, and while breed is our best guess, his vibe is unmistakable... gentle, thoughtful, and quietly charming. Gordo is a big 'ol baby who melts into affection when you use baby talk, which is his love language. Meet him with soft, loving hands and a little baby talk, and you'll have this big, squishy guy leaning into you before melting at your feet asking for more. He's a relaxed, low-energy guy who is built for the go-with-the-flow lifestyle, with the perfect touch of goofiness. He loves toys and playing tug-o-war, but he can also easily entertain himself. Gordo meets other dogs with friendly confidence and in playgroups, he's more of an observer than the life of the party. If another dog gets a little pushy, he handles it beautifully by just walking away. He'd do best with dogs his size or larger, ideally a calm, aloof female who isn't looking for constant play.
Ideal Home
Gordo would do best in a home without cats. He'd also do best with older kids while he continues learning his best manners. He needs a steady, confident person who sees the dog he is becoming and wants to be part of that journey.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions were mentioned in his description.
Training & Support
Gordo has basic leash skills and is continuing to practice controlling his goofy side. On leash, he can be strong simply because of his size, so he'll need someone who can confidently guide him. He checks in with his person and responds well when you make it fun and engaging. He is very food motivated, which is a great training tool. Someone familiar with bully breeds who understands how to channel enthusiasm into good habits will be successful with Gordo.
