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. A few puppies have traveled internationally.

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.

We’ve made it through the deposit list for our older puppies. New deposits will now reserve puppies over 8 weeks of age. Younger puppies are still being decided upon by our waitlist.

Current Puppies (Listed under their parents):

Abby + Rhett – DOB – 4/14/26 – the Warmhearted Litter – ready now

Wendie – black & white long-coat female – 17 weeks old – charting to be 7 pounds, 3 ounces – available, ready now

Wendie is gorgeous. Wendie means, “fair and smooth, blessed ring.” I’m crazy about this girl with the large, expressive eyes and pretty, shorter muzzle. Her coat is shiny and straight, and it looks like it’s going to be easy to care for. She’s very similar in temperament to Winnie – content and easy-going. She is staying about the same on her weekly adult weight estimates. She has a nice topline, tail set, and shorter legs. She stacks like a show dog, but has a very mild underbite that is starting to show thanks to her short, square muzzle. Wendie does not appear to have the silvering gene. Wendie likes to talk to me and reminds me when she’s been left out of something. She is so stinking cute! She has the perfect dirt-resistant, non-tangling coat. Wendie is really turning out to be a special girl. It’s going to be very difficult for me to part with her, but if you’re looking for a sturdy girl with an easy-care coat, she could be perfect for your family. When Wendie attended puppy yoga class, she did not socialize with the other participants. She sat near me or on my lap, sometimes gently holding her hand in my mouth for comfort, so she is more of a homebody who prefers her small circle of people. She will be very devoted when she finds her human. She has had all of her distemper shots and a microchip so she only requires a rabies vax at some point.

Bitsy + Halen – DOB 4/18/26 – The Xquisite Litter – ready now

Some folks have observed that Smoothies can be more athletic and energetic than long-coat Mi-Kis. This seems to be true of this litter.

Xella – tricolor smooth-face female – 16 weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 9 ounces – available, ready now

Xella is a tricolor smooth-face female who could be considered for a breeding program with the possibility of carrying clear red, chocolate, and blue. Xella was feeling adventurous during today’s photo shoot. She was having fun, and it was hard to capture any non-blurry photos of her. She is now staying even on her weekly adult weight estimates. Xella is an active, clever Mi-Ki. She would do well in an environment with other dogs, gentle kids, a yard, and lots to do. She has more of a terrier temperament and will need a strong pack leader. She is very smart and gets super excited when I talk to her. Despite being an active girl, she can also be very cuddly and affectionate. We’re very fond of each other. She did well socializing with children, but has to be redirected with a toy as she likes nipping. Xella’s favorite song line is, “If you didn’t come to party, don’t bother knocking on my door…” Xella was a crowd favorite at puppy Yoga class as she knew everyone was there just for her! She happily greeted everyone with enthusiasm.

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

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. Cara is 8.5 pounds, and Max is 12. Despite the parents’ sizes, they have produced several tiny puppies.

Yara – white & cream long-coat female – 16 weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 11 ounces – available, ready now

Yara means “small butterfly.” Yara has unique light-colored eyes. Yara loves to give kisses and be held. She has an outgoing personality that I love. She is a nice medium-sized girl who will be easy to transport but isn’t too fragile. She likes to talk to me about things on her mind, i.e., when it’s time for dinner, but she’s not normally yappy. Yara enjoyed going to puppy yoga class and made friends with all of the attendees.

Mirabella + Heston – DOB 5/10/26 – The Adorned Litter

Austin – black & white long-coat male – 13 weeks old – charting to be 4.0 pounds as an adult – available

Austin may be tiny, but he has a big personality! We are holding off on his vaccines until he is older to ensure he is sturdy enough to do well with them. He will likely be ready for adoption in mid-August. He currently weighs 1 pound, 14 ounces, so he’ll be ready to adopt very soon! Austin isn’t shy at all, so he will have to be watched to ensure he’s safe when meeting bigger animals. Austin only needs one more distemper combo vaccine. He has been microchipped.

Dresden + Cosmo – DOB June 8, 2026 – The “Divine” Litter – Ready around the end of September

I owe a breeder an up-eared blue baby, so we’re hoping lightning will strike twice/three times, and we’ll get another Yoshi/Luc for her. I’m so grateful she delivered well before the weekend, so we can enjoy time with family for Dad’s celebration of life service. She had three beautiful puppies – a blue parti boy, a blue parti girl, and a black and white girl.

Davinci – blue parti long-coat male – eight weeks old – charting to be 2 pounds, 11 ounces – on hold for a breeder

Davinci is on hold for a breeder but may end up going as a pet since he may be too small to perform stud dog duties. He has a sassy little personality. Davinci continues to trend down on his weekly adult weight estimates. He’s going to be even smaller than his 3.5-pound brother Yoshi. His ears are definitely up. His Embark test reveals that he carries all the colors including chocolate, clear red, and tan points. He also carries smooth. I will touch base with his potential breeder mom and see what she is thinking. He likely won’t be ready for adoption until he is 16 weeks old (around the end of September)

Desiree – black & white long-coat female – eight weeks old – charting to be 2 pounds, 15 ounces – available. Those with teacup puppy experience are encouraged to apply.

Desiree is adorable, but she continues to trend down on her adult weight estimate, therefore, we are going to have to release her to our pet deposit list. She has been having a hard time weaning, and so I am having to hand feed her and take her with me every time I go anywhere. She is going to be very well socialized. She likely won’t be ready for adoption until she is around 16 weeks old (around the end of September). She has a very outgoing, playful personality.

Nilla + Mario – DOB June 9, 2026 – the “Epic” Litter – Ready around September (or later) due to small size

Nilla and Mario produced cream quadruplets! Nilla is 4 pounds. Mario is 7 pounds. Mario’s offspring have breeder restrictions; therefore, these pups will most likely only be available as pets. These puppies were too tiny to remove their dewclaws. They will all be on the small side, so adopters with tiny Mi-Ki experience are encouraged to apply.

Estelle – solid cream long-coat female – nine weeks old – charting to be 3 pounds, 13 ounces – available – tiny dog experience preferred

Estelle is the most outgoing in this litter. Her little tail is always wagging! Despite being a good eater, she is still only charting 3.25 pounds. She still weighs less than a pound at 7 weeks of age and will likely have to wait until she’s 12 weeks for vaccinations. She reminds us of her grandpa Moses.

Emmett – apricot & white smooth-face male – nine weeks old – charting to be 3 pounds, 8 ounces – available for deposit list selection – tiny dog experience preferred

We’ve never had an apricot and white smoothie before, so we think Emmett is very special. He is sweet but isn’t quite as adventurous as some of our smoothies can be. He seems fairly mild/regal in temperament and isn’t huge on giving kisses. I really like how this boy is shaping up, and might have to hold on to him for breeding. So if you like him, let me know before I change my mind! I could be reasoned with since I already have his brother Pippin in a guardian home (though Pippin has not yet proven himself as a stud.)

Ellery – cream with white blaze long coat – nine weeks old – charting to be 2.5 pounds – available to the right family with tiny teacup dog experience

Ellery is a sweet girl who has been mostly holding steady on her weekly estimated adult weights, but weaning has her trending down, which is always a bit worrisome with the tiny ones. As with Yumi, Ellery’s family will have to be hand selected to ensure she is in an environment that is safe for extra-tiny teacup puppies. She still weighs less than a pound at 8 weeks of age and will have to wait until she’s 12 weeks for vaccinations. She will have a delayed adoption date, potentially in October.

Mei Mei + Harley/Pepe/Gimli – DOB June 16, 2026 – The “Flawless” Litter – ready around 8/25/26

Mei Mei delivered three girls and two boys. Based on the colors, this is a dual-sired litter since only Harley and Pepe can produce white/creams, and the chocolate parti looks like Gimli. Three are charting bigger and will be ready for adoption at around 10 weeks, but two are charting super tiny and will be ready in the fall.

Felicia – black & white long-coat female – eight weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 10 ounces – available for deposit list selection

Felicia has pretty markings like Grandpa Max. I like her beauty mark on her muzzle. Her expression reminds me of Mei Mei’s. She seems pretty laid back and her coat texture is the type that is easy to care for. She looks like she is showing signs of silvering. Gimli is her sire, so she for sure carries chocolate.

Felina – black long-coat female – eight weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 9 ounces – available for deposit list selection/breeder consideration

Felina looks like she has a matte black coat, so she may end up being more of a slate color like her mother Mei Mei. She has little white toes in back. Felina is pretty like her mama. She does look like she could be a show candidate as far as conformation, but she’s not as brave as her littermates. She’s recently been enjoying more time out of the pen and is developing more confidence. Felina is certified as as Gimli’s daughter, so she definitely carries chocolate. With two silvering parents, she will likely silver as well.

Figaro – white long-coat male – eight weeks old – charting to be 3 pounds, 6 ounces – on hold for breeder consideration

Figaro is developing some light cream spots on his head, but will mostly look white overall when his coat gets long. He’s a very pretty boy, but if there is a mess for him to get into, he will find it. Therefore, his second name is “Pigpen.” He’s the second smallest, but he is working hard to be big and is nursing and eating well. He has a wonderful, outgoing, friendly temperament. I like Emmett’s conformation a little better than this guy (though he’s so little, it’s hard to tell) so I may release Figaro and keep Emmett back as a breeding candidate instead. Figaro’s parentage DNA has come back and – SURPRISE! He’s actually Harley’s son!

Fawn – parti chocolate sable long-coat female – eight weeks old – charting to be 2.75 pounds – on hold for Wendy P.

Fawn is a chocolate fawn sable. She will look mostly cream as an adult. I’m used to seeing more gingered colored chocolate sables, but I think this girl will look more like Rosalee as far as coloring, wide-set eyes, and a short muzzle. Actually, she reminds me of her great grandma Truffle after she silvered. Her sire is Gimli. Fawn will be very light colored, as seen on her back where her hair is growing out. She is very tiny, but seems to be holding her own with her littermates. She’s playful and confident. If she proves to be healthy despite her micro size, she will be reserved for Wendy P. who has teacup puppy experience. She’ll have to wait quite a while before she is big enough to adopt.

Ferrero – chocolate parti long-coat male – seven weeks old – charting at 4 pounds, 15 ounces – available for deposit list selection/breeder consideration

Ferrero is named after the chocolate brand. He looks like he’s going to be a taupe-colored chocolate as an adult like his sire Gimli. He got his grandpa Max’s rear dewclaws, which were removed. Ferrero is DNA certified as Gimli boy, which means he is out of both frozen lines. He could carry blue, tan points, and clear red. Ferrero is outgoing, confident, and fun. He could be considered as a breeding candidate.

Molly + Rhett and/or Mario – DOB July 8, 2026 – The “Grateful” Litter – Ready around 9/16/26

Molly has two beautiful boys. We are not yet sure of the sire. These boys have breeder restrictions and will only be available as pets.

Gilbert – parti sable long-coat male – five weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 10 ounces – available for deposit list selection

Gilbert is gaining well. He will lighten a lot and be mostly white with tan spots as an adult. I think he is probably Rhett’s boy. He is gorgeous!

Astra + Mario and/or Harley – DOB August 2, 2026 – The “Hidden Garden” Litter

Astra had a tough labor with her first puppy getting stuck in the birth canal. Although I was able to help get him out at 2:30 a.m., he only took a couple of breaths despite our best efforts to revive him. He was a parti sable chocolate male.

After that difficult first delivery, Astra understandably had a long whelping pause. I listened to the babies’ heart rates with a Doppler ultrasound to ensure everyone sounded okay, but one heart rate was starting to drop after several hours, so we headed to Colorado Veterinary Services Group for their 24-hour emergency care and reproductive services. The second boy was trying to come down in a folded position, and so he was repositioned. After unsuccessful medical management, it was determined that a C-section was required. We’re glad we did that, as the remaining puppies were even larger than the first stuck puppy we lost. Unfortunately, the second stuck male only lived a couple of days.

Given that two of the puppies appear to be brindle, it’s likely that Harley is the sire, rather than Mario, though the clear red girl could have been sired by either male. These puppies will be on hold for a couple of weeks to ensure they are thriving and to determine coat types. Each puppy has a 25% chance of being a smooth-face Mi-Ki. We will know when they are 14 days old.

Astra has had a difficult time after her C-section and did end up at the ER vet a second time for a uterine infection. She is responding well to antibiotics and other treatments. The girls have continued to gain and are on probiotics while mom is on antibiotics. Because of Astra’s difficulties, we may not continue to use her for breeding in the future. Therefore, we will be evaluating these girls carefully to carry on her legacy.

Hyacinth – solid cream female, unknown coat type – one week old – charting to be 4.75 pounds – on hold

Hyacinth is a very pretty cream girl. We will learn what her coat type is when she is 14 days old. Hyacinth’s sire could be Mario or Harley. If she is Mario’s she will only be available as a pet, unless we decide to hold on to her. We will be looking at both of these girls since we’re not sure we’ll breed Astra again due to her birthing and postpartum complications.

Henna – chocolate brindle female, unknown coat type – one week old – charting to be 4.5 pounds – on hold

Currently, Henna is my pick of the two girls, especially if she ends up being a smooth-coat Mi-Ki. Because of her pedigree, even if we choose not to keep her, it is likely another breeder may select her. I will be running Embark tests on both girls.

Upcoming Litters

Annie + Pepe and/or Yoshi – Possibly due approximately August 19, 2026

We attempted to pair Pepe and Annie together but we aren’t sure they were successful with anything other than a slip tie. There is a chance she was paired with Yoshi before we realized she was in heat, however. Only time will tell if there was a successful pairing, and we will give her an ultrasound in about a week to determine success. Both males carry smooth, so there is a 50% chance that a successful breeding will produce smooth-face pups. They can produce black, brindle, cream, and blue puppies. If it’s Yoshi, they can produce the same, except they can also produce sables and black and tans (and any of those varieties in blue.)

Chaina + Heath Bear – Due approximately August 20, 2026

Chaina and Heath bear can only produce black or chocolate puppies. They will all be long coats. They will all carry chocolate and tan points, and possibly clear red and smooth. Chaina also jumped the gate and paired herself with Flint at the end of her cycle. We were trying to do a pairing with Flint and Tiffany Blue. Ah the joys of planning! Flint and Chaina can only produce blacks and brindles. Any puppies from their pairing will represent both frozen lines.

Tiffany Blue + Flint – Due approximately August 25, 2026

Tiffany Blue is only a little over 4 pounds, and we weren’t sure she would accept a suitor. She did decide she liked the 4.5-pound Flint, but only for one time. We’re hopeful that it will be enough to produce at least two puppies as singletons can be problematic. They can produce blacks, blues, brindles, sables, blue fawns, black & tans, and blue & tans. Their puppies will all be long coats.

Graycie + Heath Bear – Due approximately August 30, 2026

We liked this pairing so much that we repeated it. They can produce long coats and have a 25% chance of producing smooth-face Mi-Kis.

Rosalee + Harley – Due approximately September 9, 2026

RosaLee & Harley were paired for a chance to get chocolates, blacks, black & tans, chocolate & tans, brindles, or creams. Their puppies will all be long coats.

Umber + Max – due approximately September 11, 2026

Umber and Max can produce chocolates, tan points, cream/white, and sable long-coat puppies.

Ayla + Niko – due approximately September 12, 2026

Ayla and Niko can only produce black or black and white puppies. They have a 25% chance of producing smooth-face puppies. This is a combination of rich show pedigrees, and we’re excited for their debut as parents. All of the puppies will carry clear red and may carry blue and tan points.

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 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. Unfortunately, our Blue Whimsy’s breeding was not successful. We’ll continue her show career for now.

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.
