Gordo is a 69 lb. American Bully mix with a squishy face and a soft spot for belly rubs. He's a gentle, thoughtful, and quietly charming boy who absolutely melts for baby talk and affection. Gordo is a relaxed, low-energy dog who enjoys playing tug-o-war but can also entertain himself. He's been introduced to a variety of dogs and shows friendly confidence, preferring to observe rather than be the center of attention. He handles pushy dogs by walking away or offering a gentle correction.
Ideal Home
Gordo would do best with dogs his size or larger, ideally a calm, aloof female. He should not be in a home with cats. He would do best with older children as he continues to learn his manners. He needs a steady, confident person who understands how to channel his enthusiasm into good habits.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Gordo has basic leash skills but can be strong due to his size, requiring a confident handler. He responds well to positive reinforcement and is very food-motivated, making him eager to learn. Someone familiar with bully breeds who can channel his enthusiasm would be ideal.
