Lakota AmStaffs
To This
Rambunctious, Mischievous, Blacked Eyed
Four Legged Fireball
Who is growing fastest than a weed
It's hard to believe,  she is only been 7 months
old in these pictures above left and right

The only female in a litter of  BOYS,
and OH MY !!! she's NOT brindle,
I was hoping for a lot more females to choose from
and YES a brindle please, but she is Faun
Needles to say I was a little disappointed when
all these boys and only ONE little girl

I was making the same mistake that most pet people make
I was seeing her color not her conformation,
not her temperament, not her health and I was dwelling
on the ONE thing that keep me from seeing her, the color

As she grew I saw a Lovely, Smart, Funny
and a highly Intelligent trainable girl before me
Without  knowing it, she walked right into my heart
So I named her "Lakota's Believe It Or Not" and called her
"RIPLEY"
Because no one would believe I would keep a
puppy that was not a brindle
Everyone knows Love My Brindles
To This Very Pretty Girl
That Is Still A
