Gordo is a 69 lb. American Bully mix with a big head and an even bigger heart. He's a gentle, thoughtful, and quietly charming boy who melts into affection. Baby talk is his love language, and he thrives on soft, loving hands. He's a relaxed, low-energy dog who enjoys playing tug-of-war but can also entertain himself. Gordo meets other dogs with friendly confidence, preferring to observe rather than be the center of attention. He handles pushy dogs well by walking away or offering a gentle correction.
Ideal Home
Gordo would do best in a home with dogs his size or larger, ideally a calm, aloof female who doesn't require constant play. He'd also do best with older children as he continues to learn his manners. No cats for Gordo. He needs a steady, confident person who is ready to be part of his journey to becoming his best self.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Gordo has basic leash skills and is continuing to work on controlling his excitement. He can be strong on leash due to his size, so he'll need a confident handler who can guide him. He is food motivated and eager to please, responding well to positive reinforcement and engaging training methods. Someone familiar with bully breeds who understands how to channel his enthusiasm would be ideal.
