Wow! That describes her exactly. While Krishna seems to be very aware of his size and its limits Kita is completely oblivious in all respects. She was on my lap last night looking over the edge which Krishna does all the time (reminds me of Snoopy playing the vulture from the top of his dog house), but I caught her gauging the distance to the floor. I have no doubt she was going to jump!
I keep them both crated (separately) when I am unavailable to supervise them as they don't know/like each other well enough yet and they seem to be able to get into extraordinary amounts of trouble very quickly.
I do have a very good breeder who took Kita for one last vet check before I could have her just to check for genetic defects. The breeder is very good though and she pretty much makes herself available 24/7 through phone, email, and cell phone. She is going to my vet today.
She was chosen based on size and personality to be a playmate for my Krishna, but unless he shows some assertiveness REAL SOON she is going to be in charge.
It is interesting comparing the two as he was very needy and is still very eager to please. From day one she has been very independant and finds it nice but not necessary to have me near. I am foreseeing obedience training issues with this one so hopefully she can start early!
