Squishy face and a soft spot for belly rubs... this is Gordo, and yes, his name fits him in the sweetest, most endearing way. Not a big boy, just a big head and a body that you want to hug a little longer. 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. He meets new dogs with friendly confidence, observing rather than being the life of the party. If another dog gets a little pushy, he handles it beautifully by just walking away or giving a small, appropriate correction.
Ideal Home
Gordo would do best with dogs his size or larger, ideally a calm, aloof female who isn't looking for constant play. He'd also do best with older kids while he continues learning his best manners. He needs a steady, confident person who sees the dog he is becoming and wants to be part of that journey. No cats for Gordo.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in his description.
Training & Support
Gordo 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 checks in with his person and responds well when you make it fun and engaging. He is very food motivated, which is a great training tool. Someone familiar with bully breeds who understands how to channel enthusiasm into good habits and qualities would be ideal.
