Gordo is a squishy-faced, 69 lb. American Bully mix with a heart full of affection and a love for belly rubs. He's a gentle, thoughtful, and quietly charming boy who melts into affection when given soft, loving hands and baby talk. Gordo is a relaxed, low-energy dog who enjoys a go-with-the-flow lifestyle, with a perfect touch of goofiness. He loves to play tug-of-war but can also entertain himself. Gordo has met a variety of dogs with friendly confidence and in playgroups, he's more of an observer. He handles pushy dogs by walking away or giving a small correction. He would 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 with older children. He is not a good fit for homes with cats. He needs a steady, confident person who is familiar with bully breeds and understands how to channel enthusiasm into good habits.
Ongoing Health
