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 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 new dogs with friendly confidence and in playgroups, he's more of an observer than the life of the party. He'd do best with dogs his size or larger, ideally a calm, aloof female who isn't looking for constant play. He 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 is very food motivated, which is a great training tool.
Ideal Home
Gordo would do best in a home with older kids. He should not live with cats.
Ongoing Health
None explicitly mentioned.
Training & Support
Gordo can be strong on leash and needs guidance. He wants to learn and do the right thing in every way; he just needs someone to show him how. Someone familiar with bully breeds who understands how to channel enthusiasm into good habits would be ideal.
