KiKi in the snow - 4 years old

born October 25, 2003

The moment I laid eyes on T'kila, I knew she was something special. When she and her littermates ran through the house, she was the one who kept catching my eye. The rest of the puppies in the litter were beautiful, but KiKi took my breath away. She was MY pick of the litter.

T'kila has 2 speeds - slow motion and fast forward. For the most part she is very laid back and gentle. Then she gets wound up and runs around like a mad woman! Just like a little kid, she loves staying in motels at dog shows because she's allowed to jump on the beds! :o)

The list of KiKi's strong points is a mile long... but my favorite thing about her (besides her AMAZING temperament) is her pigment. Her mask is so jet black that judges have tried to wipe it off, and she has dark shading on her chest and legs just like her daddy, Stryker.

KiKi is retired from the show ring now, but she still enjoys therapy visits at the local nursing home and traveling to shows just to visit her friends.

T'kila is co-owned by her breeder, Kim Schramm of Moonhill Mastiffs.
