Rocco - Olde Tyne Bulldog - HOMED

Rocco is 15 months, Olde Tyne Bulldog, he came from a military guy who lived in a flat above a pub with Rocco, the guy has been placed in barracks and can't take him. Rocco has been with the guy since he was 8 weeks old.
Rocco isn't aggressive in anyway, I've tested him with mine and he's been playing with them
Food is of no importance, fine in town, ignores people, likes children. Friendly chap, a little over friendly and is quite bouncy. His stump is going non stop.

Poor soldier and poor Rocco - he looks like a real 'people' type dog and a gorgeous one at that!

oh wow he is just scrummy

Sounds lovely

Approached directly by a friendly female dog; fine, wants to play

Approached directly by a friendly neutered male; fine, wants to play

Approached directly by a friendly entire male, raised hackles at base of tale, body language showed Rocco was unsure of what he should do but no reaction

Rocco has not been tested with a dog that has a low threshold of aggression, this would be unnecessary and inappropriate

Rocco is a lively friendly lad, typical of his breed.
Rocco will look to his carer for reassurance and comfort that he's doing things right. He is a happy friendly dog
