Gordo is a 69 lb. American Bully mix with a gentle, thoughtful, and quietly charming personality. He has a "squishy face" and a love for belly rubs. His favorite way to be greeted is with soft, loving hands and baby talk, which makes him lean into affection and melt at your feet. He's a relaxed, low-energy dog who enjoys playing tug-of-war but can also entertain himself. Gordo meets new dogs with friendly confidence and tends to observe rather than be the center of attention in playgroups. He handles pushy dogs well by walking away or giving a gentle correction.
Ideal Home
Gordo would do best with dogs his size or larger, ideally a calm, aloof female who isn't looking for constant play. He would also do best with older children, as he continues to learn his manners. He needs a steady, confident person who is willing to be part of his journey as he learns and grows.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Gordo has basic leash skills and is working on controlling his "goofy side." He can be strong on leash due to his size, so he'll need someone who can confidently guide him. He is food motivated and responds well to positive reinforcement and engaging activities. Someone familiar with bully breeds who can channel his enthusiasm into good habits would be ideal. He needs a bit of structure and a lot of love.
