I've always wondered if Ki had some dobie in her, because of her size & shape. You've noticed that her coloring is just like my Rosie's - black, tan, white on chest, and Rosie was definitly part rotti, you could tell by her build, plus she was like 70 lbs. KiKi is so much finer boned, though, and doesn't have a rotti head at all. And the way that girl takes to water, well, ya gotta wonder if there isn't a bit of lab in her somewhere.
