Praline is incredibly sweet and smart, eager to please her humans. She's potty trained and responds well to commands, already knowing how to sit and walking nicely on a loose leash.

This little explorer is also a fantastic cuddler, wanting to snuggle up close after her adventures. Praline is kennel trained, sleeping soundly through the night.
