Elsa is super sweet and very playful just like her sister Anna. She is about 7 months old. She is wonderful with my kids and all my dogs. She would be best for a younger family bc she likes to jump and that would not be great for the elderly. She is skittish when first meeting men (same as Anna). She is friendly to my cat as well but gets to excited so I keep them separate.
