Mi-Ki Dogs in CO

Our Mi-Kis are our beloved pets. Many of our dogs sleep with us, they probably eat better than we do, and they get lots of pampering. They have also done lots of professional modeling at BaxterBoo.com.

Our parents are OFA health tested for eyes, heart, patellas, and with the Optimal Selection Wisdom Panel and/or Embark DNA screening for health and traits.

Our dogs are registered with the American Mi-Ki Registry Association and most are also registered with the United Kennel Club.

Our Mi-Ki Dams

Bitsy – Solid sable long-coat Mi-Ki Female (Carries the smooth-face gene)

Royal T’s Beloved Bitsy is out of Brighton and Sinbad. Bitsy is sturdy, active, and athletic and will help provide more Mi-Ki lines that are suitable for active families. Bitsy carries clear red, tan points, and smooth. Bitsy weighs nearly 8 pounds.

Dresden – tricolor long coat

Brumby’s Run To Dresden is Li’l Louis’ littermate. She is a tricolor. She was in another breeding program but they decided they are moving in a different life direction. We were so impressed with her first litter with them that we decided to bring Dresden here. Dresden carries blue and smooth. She will likely be bred one more time before retiring.

Cara Mia – clear red long coat

Royal T’s Countess Cara Mia, formerly Queen B, was adopted by a wonderful lady who has had a medical event that will require long-term therapy. We bought her back with the promise that we will take good care of her and were hopeful she would enjoy being a mom as much as her mother Brighton and Grandmother Evie. We had wanted to keep another female out of Brighton and Sinbad before they retire anyway, so we are blessed to have her back. She has done well as a mother as we hoped and produced some beautiful puppies.

Umber – chocolate long coat (carries smooth)

Royal T’s Umber, Girl Wonder has captured my heart with her strong resemblance to her grandmother Savannah, but it’s her temperament and brilliance that have really caught my attention. She learns things very quickly, is eager to please, and is very sweet and affectionate. She has not gotten the memo about Mi-Kis being quiet, however! She likes to make sure she is noticed. Umber is out of Harley and Everleigh.

Umber is chocolate and carries clear red, tan points, big K, and smooth. These are exciting results that could give our clients some beautiful colors and variations to choose from in her offspring. We considered retiring her after a difficult first litter, however, it seems that she is having a better outcome with our new male Mario.

Yohanna – chocolate parti long coat

After six years of longing, Savannah finally blessed us with a breedable chocolate female to carry on her line! Royal T’s Yohanna Sebast’n Bark is a sweet, cuddly chocolate confection that has brought music and joy to our hearts. Though named after Bach, she rather resembles Beethoven with her dark wavy hair and frilly white sleeves. She also carries tan points and big K. She has silvered to a taupe color as an adult. We are so excited to have her in our program to provide more beautiful chocolate Mi-Kis to the world. Additionally, this is the line we acquired at the beginning of our breeding program specifically because of a proven aptitude for medical alert work. Her son, formerly “Charleston” is now Royal T’s Run’n On “Dunkin” @jubilee. Dunkin placed #4 in the 2024 UKC Top Ten.

Zelda – blue parti long coat

We’ve been waiting for a blue Mi-Ki for years and are so excited she’s finally here! UKC GrCh Royal T’s Legend of Zelda is a blue brindle parti. Her Embark results are in and she carries everything but tan points and smooth, so she could produce a lot of wonderful colors for us in her future offspring. Zelda’s personality is very sweet and outgoing, which is evident, especially in the show ring. We are truly excited about this special girl! She was the top Mi-Ki at the 2023 Mi-Ki Specialty. She has earned her UKC Championship and was the #3 Mi-Ki in the UKC’s Top Ten standings in 2023. Zelda also had big wins in 2024, earning her Grand Championship status and placing at #7 in the 2024 UKC Top Ten.

Joyce – sable & white long coat – 12/23/22

Joyce is another parting gift from Evie who looks a lot like her mother. Joyce was originally slated to go to another breeder, but the timing didn’t work out. Since Evie has been our best mama, we simply can’t resist keeping her look-alike too – especially since we found an appropriate retirement home for Evie. Joyce also mirrors her mother’s diverse color genetics and carries clear red and tan points. We’re also excited to keep her to honor her namesake, Joyce Summers. Tom and Joyce were our first Mi-Ki clients who adopted Andrew from Evie’s first litter. Joyce went to be with the Lord at the time of Evie’s Jubilant litter’s birth. With this being Evie’s last litter, keeping Joyce is just so fitting! She did require a C-section for her second litter, so she may be retired early. We’ll likely breed her one more time before making a decision.

Holly Berry – black smooth face – DOB 12/24/22

My Little Holly Berry Royal T is a solid black smooth-face female who was born on Christmas Eve. Since she is a great-granddaughter of Savannah, so we hoped she might carry chocolate. Her Embark test reveals that she didn’t get the chocolate gene, but she did get blue and tan points. Holly Berry weighs just over 6 pounds. She hardly ever cycles, so she may be retired soon. Her daughter Whimsy will carry on her legacy.

Abby – clear red long coat – DOB 3/28/23

Brumby’s Run Abby Road Royal T is out of the famed Sonnet lines from Bonnie Thomson known for their health and temperament. Since Sonnet is getting ready to retire, we were thrilled we would be trusted with this gorgeous apricot and white (clear red) girl. She will produce the classic Mi-Ki long coats in cream, white, parti sables, and black and whites. She has a gorgeous, silky coat, beautiful eyes, and great conformation.

Royal T’s Yin Mei Ling “Mei Mei” – black long coat – DOB 12/17/23

UKC CH Yin Mei Ling is carrying on the legacy of our beloved Isabelle and her grandmother Truffle. Her sire is Belle Amie’s Max and he has infused some extra heft into the line and what Barbara Teichner calls his “Snuffleupagus” personality. This reference makes us smile as we used to call her grandma “Truffleupagus.” Mei Mei is very clever and outgoing. Mei Mei’s Embark test reveals she is genetically clear for any disease genes they test for. She carries chocolate, clear red, and the mask gene. She earned her UKC Championship in November of 2024. She also earned the #6 position in the UKC’s 2024 Top Ten standings. We may delay her first litter to bring her to UKC’s Premier nationals to compete at the Top Ten in 2025.

Royal T’s Cherished Chaina Love – black and white long-coat – DOB 1/22/24

Chaina means “delicate; fine.” The name Chaina has a long and rich history that dates back to ancient China. The name was seen as a symbol of beauty and elegance, and it was believed that girls who were given this name would grow up to be graceful and refined. The pronunciation of the name Chaina is “CHAY-nah”. 

Chaina carries chocolate and tan points. We are very excited to keep another descendant of our mascot, Savannah. She is another link in the “chain” of love that goes back to our original chocolatey princess. She also reminds us of Eden, the first daughter we kept out of Savannah who is retired. Chaina is cheerful and is a wonderful playmate to her half-sister Mei Mei.

Nilla – clear red long coat – DOB 5/07/23

Royal T’s Von Nilla Wafer is the daughter of our Grand Champion Brighton and Champion Harley. She resembles her grandsire Moses. She carries chocolate, tan points, and smooth. She is not very big – only four pounds, but she has demonstrated that she is a good, natural whelper like her mom and grandma Evie. She had a successful first litter in the spring of 2025.

Royal T’s Good Gracious Graycie – blue fawn parti long coat – DOB 4/10/24

Graycie is a blue fawn parti long-coat out of Francine and Legend. She has a very showy walk and a winning personality. We thought she might be too small for breeding, but she’s thriving and charting to be over 5 pounds now, so we’ve decided to keep her to ensure we never lose the Isabelle/Dexter/Francine line. We plan on showing her in 2025.

Annie – smooth-face brindle and white female – DOB 3/18/2024

BFF’s Annie Oakley Royal T was a bit of a surprise addition for us, but I’d been eyeing her since she was a little pup, and then she became available after another sale fell through. We fell in love at a dog show and I ended up bringing her home as a “Father’s Day gift” for Bill. We’re excited to have a smooth-face show candidate. She has a stellar Embark test and carries blue, tan points, and clear red. We hope to breed her in early 2026.

Rosalee – Chocolate brindle parti long-coat – DOB 7/19/2024

Midwest Mini’s Rose A Lee Royal T is a close relative and Mirabella lookalike, so when she became available from BFF Mi-Kis, we snapped her up. Rosalee is nearly a UKC champion already and was Best in Show Puppy at the Mi-Ki Specialty in 2024. She carries blue, tan points, and clear red.

UKC CH Regalo InChanTing Emery RoyalT – solid sable masked female – DOB 6/29/24

We planned to keep Phoebe out of Chance and Jovie, but she was just too small. So when Laurie Benton of Regalo Mi-Kis offered us this gem out of Chance and Jovie’s half-sister Bella, we couldn’t resist. She carries blue and clear red. Interestingly, Embark says she doesn’t have the mask gene, though she clearly has one! Her official name will be Regalo InChanTing Emery RoyalT to honor her frozen grandsire’s lineage. Emery was bred this winter but unfortunately did not carry her litter to term. We will likely try her again in the summer.

Ayla – clear red long-coat female – DOB 8/27/24

Cosmic Moonglow Royal T’s Ayla is from Pennie Carlson of Cosmic Mi-Kis in Texas. Ayla’s parents are from our lines (Brighton/Harley/Cosmo/Dresden) and from champion and grand champions on both sides! We’re very excited to have this girl in our program! She carries everything but chocolate. She’s not very big, but she did get to breeding weight. She has so many champions in her pedigree, that it’s nearly all printed in red ink! She is following suit by winning Best Female over a large group of Mi-Kis in the July 2025 UKC dog show.

Royal T’s Wedgwood Blue Whimsy – DOB 1/4/25

Whimsy is our first bred-by smooth-face female we’ve ever kept. She is a rare blue color and is out of Holly Berry and Halen. We look forward to her first litter in 2026.

Royal T’s Xandria the Great – DOB 1/6/25

Xandi is a gorgeous non-graying black with a stunning coat and marvelous personality. She’s out of our winning Brighton and Sinbad lines, and we’re excited to keep something back from Bitsy, who is one of our favorites. She is a black who is staying black. She is E/e – carries clear red, KB/ky – can produce patterned coats, and is at/at, so she technically has tan points, but they aren’t expressed because of her big K. But she can produce black and tans. She does not carry the smooth gene.

Royal T’s Princess Leia (formerly Upbeat Ulan) – DOB 12/21/24

Princess Leia is best friends with Whimsy. She’s staying as a remnant of the Truffle/Cocoa Chanel line. She’s a beautiful smooth with a winning personality. She carries chocolate and blue. She will be a replacement for her mom Bernadette, who is retired.

Our Mi-Ki Sires

Harley – red brindle long-coat (carries the smooth-face gene) – DOB 3/2/21

UKC Ch. Royal T’s Harley Ryder is the first male we’ve been able to keep for our program from a planned pairing with Chai and Tesoro Mio’s Colorado Cowboy. Harley is a red brindle that carries clear red (cream/apricot/white) as well as chocolate and tan points. We planned this special breeding as we outcross chocolate carriers to full chocolates for genetic health and diversity. He is a long coat but carries the smooth-face gene. We’re looking forward to this little guy (4.5 pounds) being a major contributor to our program. Harley is already a UKC champion. Harley earned his National and International Championship titles at the 2022 Mi-Ki Specialty weekend (applications pending.) He also earned a best-of-breed 1st Place award. Harley achieved 6th place in the UKC Top Ten for Mi-Kis in 2022.

Cosmo – Clear red long-coat – DOB 5/29/21

UKC Ch. Estrellita’s Count Cosmo Royal T was bred by Rebecca Thomason in Texas. Cosmo is a clear red boy who carries chocolate, blue, and two big K’s (which means that chocolate and blue offspring will be dark chocolate and slate blue.) Cosmo has a gorgeous, thick coat that isn’t prone to matting. He is a long-coat Mi-Ki and does not carry smooth. Cosmo is a UKC champion. He also earned his IABCA International Championship title at the 2022 Mi-Ki Specialty weekend (applications pending.) He also earned a best-of-breed 1st Place award. We are honored that Cosmo was the #2 Mi-Ki in the UKC’s Top Ten in 2022. He is the #6 Mi-Ki in 2023.

Legend – silver & white long coat (carries smooth) – from the Frozen Litter #2 – DOB 10/23/22

Estrellita’s Legend in Time was sired with semen frozen 20 years ago from some of the oldest Mi-Ki lines. Legend has a substantial coat, beautiful movement, and a winning personality. Legend carries blue, chocolate, and smooth, so he offers our program several color options. Legend weighs just under 6 pounds. Legend has earned his UKC Championship and was the #10 Mi-Ki in UKC’s Top Ten standings for 2023. Legend has sired Gimli and Graycie for us, so he’s already making a great contribution to the Mi-Ki gene pool.

Max – black & white long coat – a descendent of the Frozen Litter #1 – DOB: 12/29/22

We are excited to have Belle Amie’s Royal T to the Max join our program. There have been many attempts at reintroducing original Mi-Ki DNA from frozen semen collected from the AMRA registrar’s early studs but only two successful litters. Legend is from one of those litters, and Max’s mother is a descendant of the other – the “Buster” line.

Max is a non-silvering black and white with a short muzzle and great conformation. He is a nice sturdy boy from Barbara Teichner’s famed “Buttercup” lines that have proven to be exceptionally healthy. Max carries chocolate, clear red, and tan points. His Embark DNA test reveals that he is genetically clear for all of the diseases they test for. Additionally, he has a very low inbreeding coefficient, so we are very excited about his contribution to our program. He has sired many wonderful Mi-Kis for us including Mei Mei, Chaina, Rhett, Xandria, and Destiny.

Max is a solid boy who weighs 12 pounds. Despite his larger size, he produces a wide range of puppy sizes, including ones that have remained less than 4 pounds as adults. He has given us some much needed size for some of the dogs we’ve kept, and we are grateful for that.

Although Max meets the breed standard for height and has wonderful conformation, he will not stand on a table, so we decided not to try to show him. Thankfully, several of his offspring are doing well in the show ring.

Halen – black tuxedo smooth-face – DOB: 12/18/22

Royal T’s Halen Midas Well Jump has turned out to be a handsome smooth-face tuxedo boy with an ideal Mi-Ki temperament. He’s out of Bernadette and Harley and carries chocolate, blue, and tan points. He currently weighs 7.25 pounds. We hope to pair him with Holly Berry for an all-smooth litter with possible blues with tan points.

Pepe – black and white long-coat (carries smooth) – DOB 12/27/2020

Brumby’s Run Pepe Le Pew has enjoyed being part of Shekinah’s Mi-Kis in Ohio. They graciously have allowed us to bring him here after he has sired several of the country’s top Mi-Kis. Pepe is a smaller male with a gorgeous face, short muzzle, and a glorious coat that we hope to use to enhance our program, especially our blue girls and those who are/carry clear red. His health testing is fantastic. His Embark test shows he is not a carrier for any concerning traits and carries blue, clear red, and smooth.

Mario – black & tan long-coat male – DOB 3/26/24

Jubilee’s Mario Andre-T is a handsome boy from Jubilee Mi-Kis in North Carolina. He is our replacement for Moses as he carries all of the same traits Mozie does with bonus chocolate. He does have some restrictions for breeding, so any interested parties will have to be cleared by Barbara Briggs and Pamela Tolefson before this line can go to a breeder. There are no pet restrictions on Mario, however. He comes from wonderful show lines. Mario made his show debut in 2024 and did it with style – earning the #8 position in the UKC Top Ten. We look forward to him earning his Championship in 2025.

Rhett – parti sable long coat male (carries smooth) – DOB 8/15/24

UKC CH Royal T’s Rapturous Rhett is out of Cara Mia and Max. His gorgeous face captured me since birth, and I just couldn’t bear to part with him. He carries everything but blue. Rhett went to his first dog show in July of 2025 and surprised us by winning a Group 1, and winning Best of Breed over 10 other Mi-Kis. We’re looking forward to more great things from this special boy!

Heath Bear – chocolate & tan long-coat male (carries smooth) – DOB 11/8/24

Midwest Mini Heath Bear Royal T is a chocolate and tan male who carries absolutely everything – blue, smooth, and clear red. He’ll pass his chocolate and tan points to every puppy he sires. We’re excited to add a bit of his sturdiness to our program as well as lovely colors. He weighs a bit over 7 pounds. Heath went to his first dog show in July 2025 and did well. We’re looking forward to his future exploits in the ring and as a stud for us.

Niko – black & white long-coat male (carries smooth) – DOB 10/21/24

Shekinah’s Victorious Niko is out of Pepe (see our new stud above) and Paisley, who was sired by the famed Skeeter. Niko has a gentle personality and always sits in my lap when I’m working on the computer. He’s not very big, but he’s got a huge heart. Niko can only produce black and white puppies.

UCK Champion Royal T’s Y-Not Yoshi Bx3

Yoshi is out of Dresden and Cosmo. We took him to a couple of dog shows and he did extremely well – earning a Group 1 and his UKC championship! He probably would have been in the UKC Top 10 for 2025, however, he was registered too late with UKC.

Future Breeding Hopefuls

Shekinah’s GoodGolly Miss Molly Royal T – DOB 3/12/2025

Molly is a solid sable female from some of Shekinah’s Mi-Kis most treasured lines that were combined with Raeann’s friend/mentor Lawrie Willis’ lines. We love being able to help sustain these lines for the future of the Mi-Ki breed.

BFF’s Tiffany Blue Royal T – DOB 3/8/2025

Tiffany Blue is named for my favorite color. She is a rare blue tricolor long coat Mi-Ki. That means she has the dilute gene as well as tan points, which is pretty genetically tricky to produce! In fact, after almost 10 years of being in the breed, we finally produced our first blue and tan boy. So we give kudos to Jennifer Martin of BFF Mi-Kis for producing this gorgeous girl.

Royal T’s Desired Destiny – DOB 3/28/25

Destiny is a sable and white female we kept out of our top female Brighton who resembles her grandmother Evie. She was sired by Max. She has excellent conformation, and we look forward to her time in the show ring. She carries chocolate, tan points, and clear red.

Royal T’s Illuminated Ivory – cream smooth-face female – DOB 6/21/25

Ivory is out of our gorgeous duo Umber and Rhett. She carries chocolate, and tan points. She has a delightful temperament and wonderful genetics, so we decided to keep her in the program. She could be a good pair with Mario or Heath Bear.

Royal T’s Luminous Luna – parti sable long coat – DOB 9/8/25

Luna is out of Mei Mei and Mario. She doesn’t carry special colors, but her temperament and look is just what we want for the future of our program. She resembles her grandma Isabelle and acts like her too!

Royal T’s Hollywood Heston

Royal T’s Heston was going to live in a guardian home, but he’s still with us for now. I am excited to show him. He carries chocolate and tan points and is a combination of the two frozen lines.

Prada – Chocolate & Tan Smooth-face – DOB 11/30/25

Royal T’s Posh Prada is a gorgeous chocolate and tan smooth-face Mi-Ki female we’re very excited to have in our program. She carries clear red and blue as well. She’s Nilla & Heath’s daughter.

Partnership/Guardian Home Stud Dogs

To promote genetic diversity but also limit the number of dogs we keep in our home, we’ve enlisted the help of friends and clients to keep quality males intact to use for stud service. With approval, these males may be available for outside stud service. You can learn more about being a Mi-Ki Stud Partner on our Guardian Home Program page.

Rico – black and white long coat

UKC CH Estrellita’s La Vida Rico is Cosmo’s sire. We obtained him by way of Shekinah’s Mi-Kis who hoped to develop this line, but for some reason, he wouldn’t produce over there. We wanted to give him another trial over here to see if we could produce some more lovely pups like Cosmo that might be slightly bigger. Rico carries clear red and tan points. He does not carry smooth. Rico is currently under reproductive evaluation/treatment as he has not yet demonstrated that he can sire a litter for us. He went back to Texas with his breeder to see if he has better luck there. We can fly our girls down for pairings as needed since Bill travels there for work regularly.

Royal T’s Quigley – chocolate parti smooth face

Quigley is out of Eden and Baron. He is a parti chocolate smooth-face Mi-Ki with lovely conformation. He is about 7 pounds. Quigley lives with Lisa Arnell in Castle Rock. Even though he is a smoothie, Lisa trims down his profuse coat because he gets too hot.

Blue – silver long coat (carries smooth)

Blue (formerly Perry) is a puppy out of Quigley and Lucy who carries chocolate, tan points, and smooth. He is living with friends who have kept him intact as a breeding option for us. He’s a beautiful example that the silvering gene can be beautiful. He has gorgeous eyes and a shorter muzzle.

Gimli – chocolate parti long coat

Gimli (formerly Ulrich) is a chocolate and white boy we’ve been hoping to save from our Truffle line. He’s also a valuable future stud since he comes out of the Gizmo/Mr. Universe frozen lines. Gimli also carries blue and smooth. He lives with Melissa in the foothills of Colorado. He lives with a few other Mi-Kis from us. Follow them on Instagram.

Royal T’s Gracious Griffin

Griffin is out of Francine (retired) and Legend. Francine is the only breedable offspring we were able to get from the Isabelle/Dexter pairing. She was not a fan of being pregnant, however, and we decided to retire her early and made sure every puppy would be able to contribute to the gene pool. Griffin is very special. He is a smooth face and carries blue and tan points. Griffin lives with his mom Francine and is enjoying life with his new human brother that may end up showing him for us. Griffin is turning out beautifully, and we look forward to new photos of him soon from his family.

Royal T’s Jovial Jay

Jay is a handsome seedling from Flower, our mom who passed away after sustaining a blood clot after a C-section. Jay’s sire is Li’l Louis. Jay has a strong resemblance to his mother, and we are grateful he will continue Flower’s legacy. He lives with Flower’s family with another Mi-Ki, Irwin. Jay carries blue, chocolate, and smooth. Jay only needs 15 more points until he earns his UKC Championship. We look forward to showing him more in 2025. He sired a litter of smoothies with Bernadette.

Pacino

Alfie is now Al “Pacino” and is giving off a big dog personality, according to his human, Jessica. He is living in Colorado Springs and will be going to local dog shows.

Our Guardian Home Females

Our Guardian Home program allows us to keep a diversified gene pool going without collecting too many dogs in our home. We started out putting females with guardian families, but it is clear that it’s too hard on them and their families to be parted for a couple of months while the puppies are whelped and raised with us. Therefore, we will likely only have mostly males available in guardian homes going forward.

Disa – tricolor long-coat

Disa (formerly Heidi) is one of the few guardian home girls we will be having in our program since her host home already enjoys four other Mi-Kis and will likely be able to cope if one goes on maternity leave for a couple of months at a time. In addition to being a tricolor, Disa carries chocolate and clear red. She could potentially be a mate for her housemate Gimli, who is chocolate, which would combine the two frozen lines in the Mi-Ki breed. We still have to verify inbreeding coefficients first.

Permanent Family Members (Pets)

Savannah – Solid Chocolate Long Coat Mi-Ki Female – Retired

Jubilee’s Southern Charm Royal T is a rare dark chocolate color and is a long-coat Mi-Ki and professional model. She was the first Mi-Ki we purchased and we sought her out specifically because her line has a proven aptitude for medical alert work. Her grandmother Halle serves as a diabetic medical alert service dog. Some of Savannah’s puppies have also become service dogs.

Savannah has done extensive professional modeling and her photos can be found all over the internet. She has been retired and will stay here. She is our mascot.

Brighton – Cream/White Long Coat Mi-Ki Female – Retired

UKC GrCh. Royal T’s Brilliant Brighton is our firstborn Royal T Mi-Ki and has been having success in the show ring and as a professional model. Brighton is out of Evie and Moses. She weighs 7.5 pounds. She has passed her DNA screenings, heart, patella, and eye health clearances. Brighton was our first UKC champion and recently achieved her grand champion title. Brighton was the #3 Mi-Ki in the UKC’s Top Ten in 2022 and is #7 for 2023. She is now showing in the Veteran and Grand Champion classes. Bitsy, Cara Mia, and Nilla will be carrying on her legacy as she heads toward retirement next year. Brighton is our first bred-by Mi-Ki and will stay with us forever.

Isabelle – Solid Sable Long Coat Mi-Ki Female – retired

UKC Ch. Royal T’s Irresistible Isabelle is a tiny Mi-Ki girl (barely 4 pounds) who carries chocolate from her mother Truffle and clear red from her father Moses. She’s done well in the show ring. She became a UKC champion on 7/16/22. She’s passed her CHIC ophthalmic screenings, had her Embark DNA health screening, and all her OFA screenings. Isabelle has graced us with one last daughter (Yin Mei Ling) that we’re keeping. Since this was her second C-section, Isabelle has been retired and will be staying here. Francine is another daughter she produced who is in a guardian home. Isabelle is the #8 dog in the UKC’s Top 10 for 2023.

Royal T’s Magic Kingdom Miracle Minnie

Miracle Minnie is listed as our pet, but it’s probably more accurate to say we are her pets. She has trained us from birth to cater to her needs and requests. She has a cleft palate so she had to be tube-fed as a puppy. She now weighs 3.25 pounds as a healthy adult and eats normally. You may read more about her story on our blog.

Poppy – brindle and white long coat

UKC Ch Brumby’s Run Positively Poppy is a gorgeous little brindle and white female from Brandy’s line. Ever since we first visited the Thomson’s home back in 2017, Brandy was the Mi-Ki we couldn’t forget with her charming “personality plus.” I always said I wanted something out of Brandy because of her temperament. Unfortunately, Poppy developed immune hemolytic anemia possibly related to her vaccination boosters, and almost didn’t survive. Thankfully, she is still with us, but she will not be a breeding candidate. We do not have plans to place her anywhere else as our vet says her prognosis is “guarded.” She has been weaned off of all of her meds, however, and we are pleased that she is doing so well. She continues to come with us to dog shows as a wonderful breed ambassador and competitor.

UKC CH Midwest Mini Mirabella Royal T – Isabella (chocolate & blue) parti long coat – DOB 11/20/23

Mirabella is a special girl we were excited to add to our program from Midwest Mini Mi-Kis. She is the daughter of our favorite visiting Mi-Ki named Midwest Mini’s Sunshine. Mirabella’s sire is Midwest Mini’s Cocoa Bear. This was going to be an important addition for us emotionally as we lost Sunshine’s son Dexter, a partner sire, to an owl. He only sired one litter for us, and his daughter Francine was only able to produce one litter for us (we were able to keep her Graycie)!

Not only is Mirabella a rare isabella color (simultaneously blue and chocolate), but she also carries clear red and tan points, and smooth. She earned her UKC Championship in July of 2025. Mirabella is just a tad over 4 pounds, which technically is breeding weight. For now, she is Michael’s pet as I’ve never seen two beings quite as crazy about each other as she and my son are. She is hypersensitive about being uncomfortable (i.e., tangles, etc.) so we have decided her temperament isn’t likely going to work for being a mother. She loves to go to dog shows, however. We haven’t completely ruled her out as a breeding candidate, but she will likely just be a show princess.
