He does pull on the lead a bit and is quite strong. He is an excitable young boy, so it is highly recommended that he has further training; however, Franklin does know basic commands such as sit. Due to his boisterousness, it is not recommended that he go to a home with young children, cats or small pets. Franklin’s microchip number is 956 000 015 031 627 and his Pet Exchange source number is BR101093. Franklin’s adoption fee includes a vet health check, vaccination, de-sexing, de-fleaing and worming.
