The Nursery – Current Puppies

Mi-Ki Puppies for Adoption Near Denver and Colorado Springs, CO

If you’ve considered making a Royal T Mi-Kis puppy one of your future furry family members, now is a great time to fill out our Questionnaire and consider placing a deposit for one of our current or upcoming litters. The form can be found at the bottom of this page.

We’re located in Elizabeth, Colorado, and serve clients around the United States and Canada.

Do we allow visitors? YES! But it’s our private home, so it’s by appointment only. Thank you!

Deposit Policy and Puppy Selection Process

A $500 non-refundable deposit places you in the choosing queue for our current and upcoming litters. It’s also possible to place a deposit to be in the choosing queue for future litters.

The $500 deposit goes towards the purchase price of $3,500. Puppies charting under 4.5 pounds may have a $100 surcharge to offset costs associated with keeping them until they are big enough to adopt (i.e., extra vaccinations, etc.) Rare colors may also be extra.

Looking for a premium Mi-Ki without the premium price? Consider our Older Puppies or Retiring Adults.

Breeding rights are an extra $1,500. Breeding requirements and deposits are listed at the bottom of this page. Since we are a preservation breeder, to promote a quality gene pool, established breeders will have the option to make selections before pet deposits, but very few puppies actually end up going to breeders. Females that are charting to be over 4.5 pounds may be held additional time to see how the puppies develop. Thank you for your patience in giving our partners the time they need to make sound breeding judgments for their programs. These pups are building the future sustainability of the breed.

Premium hand delivery options are available for an extra fee to your nearest airport. The service is $500, plus round-trip airfare, and a one-way in-cabin pet ticket. If your airport is regional without direct flights (which may require an overnight stay), there are additional fees.

Current Puppies (Listed under their parents):

Graycie + Heath Bear – DOB 1/20/26 – The “Queso Dia” Litter – Ready now

Graycie and Heath Bear graced us with three beautiful puppies on National Cheese Lover’s Day. While there are a few Q cheeses, I think using Queso as a theme honors my alphabet theme while having a bit of fun with cheesy goodness. These puppies all carry blue, chocolate, and tan points. They they could carry clear red as well.

Brie – solid sable long-coat female – 11 weeks old – Charting to be 6 pounds, 5 ounces at maturity – available, ready now

Brie is a beautiful masked sable girl. She will be light gold with dark fringe as she matures. See the last photo of Francine, Brie’s grandma, to get an idea of what she may look like as an adult. She carries blue, chocolate, and tan points. She could also carry smooth and clear red. Being sturdy and from the frozen lines would make her a nice breeding candidate, but she’ll also make a lovely pet. In some ways, I’m hoping she won’t be selected, as I wouldn’t mind keeping her!

Holly Berry + Legend – DOB January 23, 2026 – The Renewed Litter – Ready now

Holly Berry was paired with Legend to continue to infuse the frozen lines into the gene pool. They blessed us with a long-coat female, a smooth-face solid black female, and a black parti smooth-face male.

Renata – black & white long-coat female – ten weeks old – charting to be 6 pounds, 3 ounces at maturity – available & ready now

Renata is a beautifully marked black and white long-coat female. Renata is trending up on her weekly adult weight estimates but seems like she’ll be a medium-sized Mi-Ki. She has been tested and carries blue. She for sure carries smooth since her mom is a smoothie. Her DNA says she is not a tweener, though her coat is very easy to care for. She is showing signs of silvering. She could make a nice breeding candidate with her beautiful conformation and no undercoat. She loves it when we have visitors and has never met a stranger. She likes to hug my ankles to get my attention. She is clever and outgoing. She has a wonderful personality! Renata is easy to spot in the video with her littermates because she has the wide blaze on her forehead.

Xandria + Cosmo – DOB March 8, 2026 – The “Unforgettable” Litter – ready around 5/17/26

These puppies are gorgeous and could make wonderful breeder/show candidates. I may consider one of them myself to carry on Cosmo’s line. Though Cosmo gets a lot of attention as a UKC Champion/Top Ten show dog, Xandria herself is also stunning – we just haven’t had a chance to put her in the show ring quite yet. I’m granting myself a bit of grace on photo updates this week due to my father’s passing. I hope to get new photos and videos up soon.

Ultimo – Solid cream long-coat male – six weeks old – charting to be 4 pounds, 13 ounces at maturity – available

Ultimo has the babydoll face that I absolutely adore. He could make a stunning breeding/show candidate or an adorable pet who will shine on social media. I will be glad to run an Embark test on Ultimo for any interested breeders. We do know that he carries blue and tan points, but not smooth or chocolate. Ultimo has a friendly, outgoing personality. It was hard to photograph him because he was having such a good time and had no qualms about jumping off the chair to be close to me. I would not be surprised if he ended up having up ears, but time will tell. We only have a couple of boys available, so grab him while you can!

Uma – Black and white long-coat female – six weeks old – charting to be 4 pounds, 7 ounces at maturity – on hold for our program, but may end up being a pet due to her small size

Uma is a beautifully marked female who carries chocolate, blue, clear red, and tan points. I am considering keeping this girl, but she is slowing down on her growth and may not be big enough. She has a wonderful, confident personality and ideal proportions for the show ring, just like her half-sister Zelda. So far, she does not appear to have the graying gene.

Urban – gold long-coat male – six weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 12 ounces at maturity – available

Urban is a pretty gold boy with white paws and a blaze. He did not get his dad’s chocolate or blue, so he’s being released as a pet. My understanding from the Mi-Ki registrar is that this golden color is getting harder to find in modern Mi-Ki lines, but we’re happy that it’s showing up in Max’s grandpups. This makes sense since he’s out of the old frozen lines. Urban is trending up slightly on his weekly adult weight estimates, so my guess is that he’ll end up around 6.5 – 7 pounds. Temperment wise, Urban is the cuddliest. He takes a little bit longer to get comfortable in new situations, but as long as his people are near by, he’s happy. He is playful when he is comfortable, but he will be the type of pup that prefers to stay by his humans rather than rushing off to make new friends. He will be ready to adopt in mid-May.

Joyce + Heath Bear – DOB 4/13/26 – The Vivacious Litter – ready around 6/22/26

Joyce and Heath can only produce long coats. They had four beautiful puppies, but one female was too tiny and was stillborn. Another tiny boy only lived 36 hours. We’re thankful for the two that are here, though. They are very pretty puppies. They will all carry chocolate and tan points. They could also carry smooth, blue, and clear red. They could make nice breeding candidates, so they’ll likely be on hold until they’re at least 4 weeks old for show/breeder evaluation. There’s a good chance I may keep one of these girls if she ends up looking like a show candidate.

Venus – black & tan long-coat female – one week old – charting to be 4.75 pounds – on hold

Venus is a strong name meaning “love and beauty”. I loved her as soon as she was born. I always have a soft spot for the black and tans, though, thanks to our precious Lucy. Venus will likely trend higher than her current estimated adult weight, given that mom and dad are both 7 pounds. She carries chocolate and may carry blue, smooth, and clear red as well. She will be on hold for at least another week to ensure she is thriving.

Veronica – solid sable long-coat female – one week old – charting to be 4.0 pounds – on hold

Veronica was born at 9:09 p.m., which is also my dad’s birthday. So when I saw that, it felt like it was a little God wink, reminding me that even though we experience losses, we still have the blessings to be grateful for. Veronica means “true image” and “she who brings victory.” Veronica carries chocolate and may carry blue, clear red, and smooth. She will likely trend toward a higher estimated adult weight, given that mom and dad are both 7 pounds.

Abby + Rhett – DOB – 4/14/26 – the Warmhearted Litter – ready around 6/23/26

Abby and Rhett can only produce long-coat puppies. They could carry chocolate, tan points, and smooth. They will be on hold for a couple of weeks to ensure they are thriving. Abby is 7 pounds and Rhett is 7.5 pounds. Therefore, these early puppy weight mature estimates will likely trend up, though Rhett’s father Max, who is 12 pounds, often sires 4-pound Mi-Kis.

Winona – white/apricot long-coat female – one week old – charting to be 4.0 pounds – on hold

Winona means “firstborn daughter,” so it seemed like the appropriate name for our W litter. She has a dab of apricot spotting and will probably resemble her mother as she matures.

Winnie – black & white long-coat female – one week old – charting to be 4.75 pounds – on hold

Winnie is a flashy, beautifully marked girl. She’s the easiest to pick out in the litter. Winnie means, “gentle friend, friend of peace.”

Whitney – white & cream long-coat female – one week old – charting to be 5.25 pounds – on hold

Whitney looks like a mini Brighton. I’ve been aching to get a Brighton descendant who looks like her in my program. Therefore, I’ll be keeping her on hold until I see what her conformation looks like (at least until she’s 5 weeks old). Whitney means “by the white island.”

Wendie – black & white long-coat female – one week old – charting to be 5.5 pounds – on hold

Wendie is gorgeous. Wendie means, “fair and smooth, blessed ring.” Depending on her conformation, she might even win over Whitney for me. I’m crazy about this girl.

William – white & cream long-coat male – one week old – charing to be 3.5 pounds – on hold

William is a very special boy. My husband Bill said he could be his namesake. William has a cleft lip, which is the first one we’ve had in our program. If you have been breeding for even a short while, you’ll learn that there can be glitches in puppy development in utero despite genetic health testing. Fortunately, this appears to be fairly superficial, and we’re hopeful it will be a minor repair for him if the cleft doesn’t fill in on its own over time. I always give thanks for our Mi-Ki “misfits” because I enjoy seeing God work out homes that are a divine placement (where they do fit perfectly). Perhaps there will be a family in need with a child who may also have a facial difference. Having a pawtner for emotional support can be very healing. William can nurse on his own, but it takes a bit more work. He’s getting a bit of supplementation via bottle to help him keep up with his littermates weight-wise. He does not appear to need tube feeding. We are aware that congenital issues can cluster, so we’re praying this is his only issue and that he will be otherwise healthy. He appears to be gaining well with our regimen. William means “resolute protector.”

Bitsy + Halen – DOB 4/17/26 – The Xquisite Litter – ready around June 26, 2026

I paired these two in hopes of getting a sable or brindle smooth-face puppy for our program, but unfortunately, the only sable male was stillborn. We’re still happy for the three beautiful girls in the litter. They may be smooth-faced or long coats, but we won’t know until they’re about 2 weeks old. They will be on hold until we know their coat types.

Xinia – black & white female, unknown coat type – one day old – 4.7 ounces at birth – on hold

Xinia has beautiful symmetrical markings. It’s possible she could be a tricolor, but it is difficult to see because of the distribution of white. Time will tell if we see tan eyebrows and cheeks develop. She will be available for selection in a couple of weeks once we know her coat type.

Xahara – solid black female, unknown coat type – one day old – 5.1 ounces at birth – on hold

This girl is positively stunning! I’m excited to learn what her coat type is. She could carry blue, chocolate, tan points, and clear red. Xahara reminds me of Bitsy’s beautiful daughter Xandria. It’s funny how we landed on another X litter for Bitsy this time.

Xella – black & white female (possible tricolor) unknown coat type – one day old – 4.3 ounces at birth – on hold

I thought Xella was black and white, but looking at the photos, I see gold peeking through on the cheeks. If she is a tricolor, she will develop eyebrows soon. She could be a smooth or a long coat. She could carry blue, chocolate, and clear red. If she is a tricolor, she has the double-tan-points genes (at/at) and will be ky/ky.

Cara Mia + Max and/or Harley – DOB 4/21/26 – The Youthful Litter

Cara & Max have produced some of my favorite pups to date, and it looks like they have a winning litter again. All but one have rear dewclaws, which means Max is the sire. They had SIX GIRLS – Four are white/cream, and two are parti sables.

Yara – white long-coat female – one day old – 3.0 ounces at birth – on hold

Yara means “small butterfly.” So far, she is the smallest in the litter, but that can change with time. She is mostly white but may develop light cream spots as she matures. I think she’s lovely, but I tend to gravitate to bigger females. But birthweights may not always indicate which pup ends up being the biggest as adults. Time will tell.

Yumi – white/cream long-coat female – one day old – 4.0 ounces at birth – on hold

Yumi is the biggest in the litter and has the most cream spots at this point. Yumi means, “abundance.” She is probably my pick, but we’ll see who ends up being my Brighton legacy girl. It’s between Yumi and Whitney or maybe Winona right now, but that could change once they get up on their feet, I see how they move, and how big they trend. A lot can change in a few weeks!

Yuki – white long-coat female – one day old – 3.3 ounces at birth – on hold

Yuki appears to be the whitest at this point, so we named her Yuki, which means “snow.” Another very pretty girl!

Yvonne – parti sable long-coat female – one day old – 3.1 ounces at birth – on hold

Of the two sable girls, I believe this one will lighten up to more of an ash blonde/cream. Yvette looks more red, so I think she’ll look more gold as an adult. Either way, they will both lighten considerably.

Yvette – parti sable long-coat female – one day old – 3.2 ounces at birth – on hold

Yvette looks like she’ll be more of a red gold as she matures. She has lovely markings.

Yolanda – white long-coat female – one day old 3.4 ounces at birth – on hold

Last but not least is the lovely Yolanda. She is also quite a beautiful girl. She seems more of a creamy white.

Upcoming Litters

Mirabella + Cosmo and/or Heston – Due approximately May 7, 2026

Mirabella barely made breeding weight, and we decided to give her a shot at being a mom. She’s just too nice a girl not to try to keep her genetics in the Mi-Ki gene pool. She earned her UKC Championship title and is ranked #7 on UKC’s Top Ten in 2025. Because Mirabella is both blue and chocolate, all of her puppies will have a lot of color in their genetics. She appears to have two, possibly three puppies on the ultrasound. These puppies will likely go to breeders. Her breeder, Gayla, is on the list for a male. Should she have a tiny, non-breedable female, she could be available as a pet.

Recent breedings were completed with Yohanna/Mario/Rhett, Zelda/Heston/Mario, Nilla/Mario, Dresden/Cosmo, and Mei Mei and Harley/Pepe, so we hope to have pregnancy confirmations soon.

Although my original plan was to scale back on pairings this year to care for my father, he has unfortunately passed away. Until I get to see him again, I’ll be trying to cheer myself and others with the joy of puppies.

Planned Litters and Royal T Mi-Ki Goals

We are making some positive adjustments to our program to diversify genetics and continue to work towards health, temperament, and the breed standard. This may include rehoming some of our current breeding dogs this year. We have added some new lines with three new females. We’ve also added some new studs to diversify the gene pool and will try them with our existing females to see what they produce before making permanent decisions regarding whether they will stay in our program longer.

To expand our smooth-face program, our up-and-coming breeding candidates include Whimsy, our blue parti smoothie, Annie, our brindle parti smoothie, and Leia, a black & white smoothie from the frozen lines. We also kept back Ivory, a blonde smoothie who carries chocolate.

Are you interested in a puppy?

Please scroll to the bottom of this page to fill out our questionnaire to show that you’re interested in being contacted for future litters. You may also choose to fill out the adoption questionnaire here, so we can get to know you and your needs.

Feel free to look through our Previous Puppies page to get an idea of what our current or future puppies might look like as they mature.

The Adoption Process

Royal T Mi-Kis makes every effort to ensure our puppies are matched with the right family for a lifetime of mutual enjoyment. The first step towards adopting a Mi-Ki is to fill out our adoption questionnaire (see below) which will help us understand what you are looking for in a Mi-Ki.

We’ll exchange emails, chat on the phone, or even set up a Zoom meeting to get to know each other. Next, a $500 non-refundable deposit will place you in the choosing queue. The deposit goes towards the $3,500 purchase price.

When the puppies are old enough to determine traits (usually around 4-6 weeks), established breeders will have the first choice followed by pet deposits. We will contact you when it’s your time to select a puppy. If you decide to wait for a future litter, you’ll move up in the choosing queue behind others who may have also passed.

What’s Included?

Your Mi-Ki puppy will have a veterinary examination, first shots, a microchip, dewormings, dewclaw removal (as needed), and an airline-approved carrier. We also throw in a bunch of puppy supplies to help your young Mi-Ki get off to a great start!

Our Mi-Ki puppies are started on puppy pad training. We provide you with information regarding option pet insurance to help you care for your new pet.

Puppies will be released to their new homes at around 10 weeks of age or 2 pounds. Small for gestational age or preemie puppies may need to be held for additional time. We can coordinate a puppy nanny to fly a puppy to your nearest airport for $500 plus airfare (to include an in-cabin pet ticket plus the courier’s ticket.) We do not ship puppies.

Puppies may also be picked up by their new owners from our home or Denver International Airport. Puppies should fly home on a direct flight if at all possible.

Restrictions

We are unable to facilitate young puppy adoptions to Hawaii due to the state’s rabies/quarantine regulations. Only available adult Mi-Kis or older puppies are eligible to be adopted to Hawaii if the short quarantine protocol (5 days) can be met with daily visits to the quarantine holding facility by the adoptive family.

Please note that international adoptions will require an additional $200 surcharge for extra paperwork fees, extended boarding, and vaccination requirements. Most international destinations require a rabies vaccination and puppies to be at least 16 weeks of age.

Breeding Information

Breeders looking for puppies will have to be approved by the originators of our lines before we can sell a puppy with breeding rights. Established breeders will be given priority over pet owners to ensure that breed-standard/show-quality Mi-Kis stay in the gene pool.

We reserve the right to keep a puppy for our breeding program if circumstances require it. A deposit refund or replacement puppy will be offered instead.

Breeder Requirements

Breeding rights are an additional $1,500 for approved kennels or new breeders who are willing to be mentored. Breeders agree to perform AMRA health testing recommendations and will abide by the American Mi-Ki Club Code of Ethics for breeding and responsible placement.

Breeder Deposits

  • Jodi from Sunshine Mi-Kis – deposit taken
  • Heba – blue Mi-Ki with up ears, either gender – like Yoshi
  • Raeann – interested in a chocolate girl like London who is a breedable size or a female from Rico.

The parents’ pedigrees may be viewed on the Our Dogs Page to determine breeding compatibility. Any puppies sold for breeding out of Belle Amie or Jubilee lines will require approval from Barbara Teichner and/or Barbara Briggs. Additionally, any future puppies produced from these lines are contractually bound to be granted permission before selling to other breeders.

Please note that established breeder deposits will take precedence over pet picks in order to preserve the Mi-Ki gene pool – especially puppies from our frozen-sired lines. Breeders are often looking for something quite specific such as a particular color, pedigree, ear set, size, being a carrier of certain traits, and excellent conformation. Because of these preferences, chances are that most of our puppies will be going to pet homes.
