As far as that being a sign of how "worth it" Kitana was, she just wasn't my dog to shoot. She was also sick at the time, on pups, and her pups were sick because she had bad milk. So I am sure Kitana wasn't feeling well. She was distressed, her pups were distressed, and she saw "me" (the only stranger she wouldn't try to kill) "cross the line" and go toward one of her sick, screaming pups. I am sure it was an overload for her sick, angry-mama brain to see ... so she went for me.
To everything but her owner (and, for a time, me) Kitana was a vicious animal. However, against other dogs she was only a fair-ability dog for her weight. She did break one bitch's backend pretty bad ... but she also had to be picked up to a bitch for running out of gas ... so it wasn't like Kitana was an ace. She was ruthless, but she didn't have very good air. Speaking of air, and truly badass bitches, Wild Red Rose spotted the same bitch who had Kitana picked up several pounds of weight, weathered an early storm, and not only stopped that big bitch, but broke her friggen leg too.
Rosey was a slow starter, but she had TIRELESS STAMINA, INCREDIBLE body strength, and when she got going she was a WALL of a dog who would get you sooner or later, it didn't matter how long it took. People don't realize that Rosey is behind just about every Champion Kitana is behind ... and a whole lot more Champions Kitana is not behind ... from less breedings and less pups too (as Rosey died from cancer at 5). And like Missy, Rosey too was a sweet, sweet dog with people and puppies.
Honestly, I would take Rosey back all-day, every-day, before I would take Kitana.
