Hello, welcome! Usually i'm not the greeter (Jen - you're getting slack here!!!) but anyway....
If your little one is about 2 or 3, then she should have a ring by now. If she is definitely that age, then i would safely say that she is a she. I personally think its never to late for them to pick up words and whistles and other noises but it is a little harder to train them to be comfortable with you if they haven't had a lot of human contact before.
Good luck, keep us updated.
welcome

Hello and welcome to u and ur new baby. You definatly have ur work cut out for u . Irn's espcially untamed adults can be difficult. You will need to take things slowly. Have a look at some of the old postings they are bulging with info. Nataliexxxx
