Rocco Bullwinkle The Sweet Goober Everyone Loves

Rocco is a big ole goofy goober that is always so happy. No matter what is going on around him, he is always so happy and up for anything you throw at him. Instantly when you meet him you catch yourself saying, “man that is a really cool dog,” and it’s true! The obsession with Rocco is almost immediate and it’s pretty much become a recurring theme with everyone that meets him. He is a total lover boy with people and with dogs, he is a happy medium of playful and snuggly, and let’s not forget to mention he’s incredibly good looking as well. So go ahead and get prepared for your camera roll to be taken over by Rocco and buy some more storage space on your phone because you’re going to need it.

Rocco Bullwinkle is a pittie mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 62lbs. He’s one of those dogs that has the perfect amount of chunk and muscle. Just enough chunk for those irresistible squish moments and just the right amount of muscle to keep up with an adventurous lifestyle.

Rocco is a social butterfly that loves people and loves adventures. He’s the perfect companion to take with you on hikes, trips to the beach, or even if you’re wanting a dog to take with you to meet up with friends at your local brewery or park, he’ll be a great boy to have around. We can also see him being a friendly co-host if you’re someone that likes to have friends and family over for BBQ cookouts in the backyard. Rocco is also a boy that appreciates downtime as well. He can be a super social guy but does enjoy quiet time too. He really is one of those dogs that can do both. So if you’re looking for a fun social butterfly and also a cuddle buddy at the end of the day, Rocco is your guy!

One thing that is a given with Rocco is that he loves kids! Boy does he love them. He might even love kids more than he loves adults honestly. He immediately went up to three kids ages 5, 12, and 14 and it was like he knew that is exactly where he belongs and has been there before. He was immediately giving them kisses, crawling up on the couch for full-body cuddles and if you watched his video, you can clearly see how happy he is around kids. From jumping around on and off the couch, to the yelling, random movements, unexpected grabbing hands, and even during those moments when the kids were giving him bear hugs, he was completely comfortable with it all. Rocco listened when the kids asked him to sit, came when they called him, and also took treats very gently from them too. Rocco was born to be a family dog!

Rocco is such a phenomenal dog and he is very dog friendly! He loves to play with his buddies but is also respectful of the dogs that don’t want to play with him. He does try to encourage play at first and as soon as he realizes the other dogs aren’t interested in playing he’s off trying to find a new playmate or doing his own thing and exploring all the smells. When he is done playing or ready for those calmer hangout moments he will tell the other dogs by giving them a subtle correction or he will simply remove himself from the play. He is the perfect mix of playful and calm, a happy medium. In a home, he would be best placed with another dog that can do both, play and also chill. Rocco also isn’t the type of dog that needs another dog in the home to help him feel comfortable or to satisfy his energy needs. He is a confident, happy guy by nature and knows how to match whatever energy you need from him. When it comes to kitties, Rocco would be best placed in a home without a cat friend.

Training & Support

Rocco loves treats, and is eager to please. He already knows how to sit, responds well to corrections from his handlers, and is fairly easy to walk on a leash. He does pull initially out of excitement because he loves to go on walks, but a simple leash correction is all it takes to remind this hunk that he needs to walk like a gentleman on leash. Rocco is also crate trained, potty trained, and has shown to have great house manners as well. His eagerness to please and willingness to learn means that any additional training you want to do with him will be a breeze and enjoyable for you both.
