Hello everyone, my name is Ramsey. I'm so glad I found this board!! I've always been a "big dog" gal. Mom & Dad raised Great Danes, so from the time I was a baby I was around big dogs. Recently, we rescued a puppy who was dumped alongside the road out by my folks' place along with her 5 brothers and sisters. A neighbor wrangled up the other 5 and got them to the pound where they were all adopted out (thankfully!!) but the last little girl nobody could catch, and so I sat down in the ditch and waited for her to come to me, which took only took about 5 minutes. According to the vet, they've been identifyed as "akita crosses". I've never dealt with Akitas before, and I suspect that she has some Lab in her, as her bros/sis's were all varying in colors from yellow or tan to brown and white (like her). I named her Wataaya (which is supposed to mean "Fortunate One" (or something like that) in Lakotan), and we call her "Ty" for short. She's a VERY sweet little pup, but is chewing us out of house and home! Hubby is ready to kill her

so I need to get her into obediance asap. I'll get some pics up as soon as I get some of my photos back from a data loss I suffered. Looking forward to chatting with you all!!
