Primrose does pull on a leash, but with basic obedience training, she should be walking like a champ in no time! She is food motivated and knows the command sit. She also loves to hop up into your lap for hugs and kisses. She is loose and wiggly when greeting, and comes when called for snuggles. She has a high energy level, so she would benefit from an active home with plenty of space for daily play and exercise.
