I would like a SOT kayak no more the 11ft long, fast SOT and stable. The Koho 11.5 is nice but I feel I could tip over especially when my Rat Terrier is riding the front

From my experience I would say longer is generally better. Only reason to go shorter is if you can't lift a longer boat onto your car or whatever or money. Very doubtful your little rat terrier would cause stability problems from my experience...but for sure some boats are more stable than others. Generally the more stable (wider and/or flatter the hull) the more effort they take to paddle. Of course I've found virtually every kayak to be quite easy to paddle relative to every other choice out there, some are just better than others in that regard.
