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.

Pricing: A $500 deposit goes towards the regular purchase price of $3,500. Puppies charting under 4.25 pounds have a $200 surcharge to offset costs associated with keeping them until they are big enough to adopt (i.e., extra vaccinations, housing, etc.) Rare colors/coat types are extra – i.e., chocolates and blues are $4,000+, depending on size. There is a $300 discount for repeat clients.

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 – 20 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 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 my hand in her 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

Xella – tricolor smooth-face female – 19 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. Xella seems to be skipping the “uglies” and is growing a nice adult coat already. I’ll be getting new photos soon.

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 – 19 weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 11 ounces – available, ready now

Yara means “small butterfly.” Yara has unique light-colored eyes and chocolate nose leathers and paw pads. We are wondering if she potentially carries an unusual chocolate/cocoa genetic variant. Only Max carries chocolate, but some of the older lines reportedly had an undetermined dilute gene. Since her sire is from the frozen lines, we are wondering if that is the situation here. Her coat is easy to comb through but is starting to get fairly wavy as it grows longer.

Yara loves to give kisses and be held. She has an outgoing, clever personality that I love. She will be easy to train. She is a nice medium-sized girl who is easy to transport but isn’t too fragile. She likes to talk about things on her mind, i.e., when it’s time for dinner, but she’s not normally yappy. She particularly loves my husband Bill, so she would be a good candidate for a male guardian. Yara enjoys going to puppy yoga classes and makes friends with everyone she meets. People love her pretty face.

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

Austin – black & white long-coat male – 18 weeks old – charting to be 4 pounds, 3 ounces as an adult – available, ready now

Austin may be tiny, but he has a big personality! He was on a delayed vaccine schedule due to his small size, but he’s all caught up and been microchipped, so he’s ready for adoption now. His coat was growing out unevenly, so we decided to give him a trim. His conformation is now visible, and he looks really nicely put together. Which look do you prefer? Austin carries blue and chocolate, and probably other colors, too. Interested breeders would have to be approved by Gayla.

Zelda + Heston – The “Brave” Litter – DOB May 27, 2026

I have been hoping to keep something back from Zelda as she’s the last link I have going back to Lucy and Gabriella. Unfortunately, it’s not working out for us this time as Bonnie will be too small.

Bonnie – Chocolate parti sable female long coat – 16 weeks old – charting to be 3 pounds, 3 ounces – Available for deposit list consideration. Ready now.

Chocolate sables lighten considerably to a buttery color, but the eyes will be kind of aqua to start and amber as an adult. The nose and paw pads will be brown. Cocoa Chanel (retired) is an example of a solid chocolate sable. Bonnie moves beautifully like her Best In Show mama, but is too small to keep for breeding. Finally, at 16 weeks of age, she has reached the 2-pound adoption threshold and is ready to find her furever home! She will weigh just over 3 pounds, so we will have to be very careful about her placement. She is $4,000. She was hard to photograph with her squinting in the wind, but she’s a very pretty little tiny girl.

Dresden + Cosmo – DOB June 8, 2026 – The “Divine” Litter – Ready sometime in October due to small sizes

Desiree – black & white long-coat female – 14 weeks old – charting to be 2 pounds, 12 ounces – available (probably in October)

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. Due to her extra tiny size and length of time I will have to hold on to her, she will be $3,800. Her ears have been funny… sometimes both are up, and sometimes one is down. A few days after taking these, they are popping back up. So we have no idea what her ears may do!

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

Emmett – apricot & white smooth-face male – 14 weeks old – charting to be 3 pounds, 5 ounces – available for deposit list consideration, must be teacup approved, likely ready in October

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’ve considered him for our own program, but since he’s going to be so tiny, I think he’ll be better suited as a treasured pet. Emmett is $3,700 due to his small size and being a rare smooth-face. As of September 23, he only weighs 1 pound, 13.5 ounces. He’s not likely to reach 2 pounds until October, which is when he can be adopted.

Mei Mei + Harley – DOB June 16, 2026 – The “Flawless” Litter – ready soon

Figaro – white long-coat male – 12 weeks old – charting to be 3 pounds, 4 ounces – available, ready in late September/early October

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. Although I was considering Figaro as a breeding candidate, his testicles have not yet descended. Other than that, he’s a wonderful tiny guy. Figaro has been genetically confirmed to be Harley’s son. Figaro is $3,800 due to his extra-tiny status. He will have to stay with us until he is fully vaccinated. Figaro currently weighs 1 pound, 13 ounces, so he will be ready to adopt soon!

Annie + Pepe and/or Yoshi – DOB 8/17/26 – The “Incomparable” Litter

Unfortunately, Annie only had one puppy which required a C-section. She had a black and white female. She has a 50% chance of being a smooth-face Mi-Ki

Isadora – black and white smooth-coat – four weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 5 ounces – on hold for breeder/show evaluation

Isadora may be a candidate for our program if we decide to keep her instead of her mother as we’re shifting away from smaller dams in hopes of needing fewer C-sections. We will give other breeders a chance to evaluate her too.

Tiffany Blue + Flint – DOB 8/22/2026 – The “Jazzy” Litter – Ready around 10/31/26

Tiffany Blue is only a little over 4 pounds, but we were hopeful she would be able to deliver her two pups naturally. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case, as both were quite large for her. The first one was stuck on the way to the emergency department and was delivered vaginally, but was deceased. She was a brindle pup who weighed 6.4 ounces, which is probably the second largest pup any of our girls have ever delivered. The second birth was attempted with medical management, but when the heart rate started going down, it was determined that a C-section was needed. This was fortunate as the pup’s chin was folded down into her chest, which would not have allowed a delivery without intervention.

Josie – tricolor long-coat female – charting to be 6 pounds, 6 ounces at maturity – four weeks old – under breeder consideration

Josie reminds us of her Grandma Jovie, so we’ve decided to give her a similar name. She has a pretty square muzzle and beautiful markings. She carries blue and could carry chocolate and smooth. She may be considered for our program (or for another breeder) as we’re not sure we will have the opportunity to get something out of Tiffany Blue again. Thankfully, the reproductive specialist thought Tiffany Blue is a candidate for a future litter since her complications stemmed from puppy size/presentation, rather than maternal issues. Sadly, Josie’s ear was likely cut during her C-section birth. Her left ear sloughed off during her first week. Despite not being a show candidate due to her slight cosmetic injury, Josie comes from nice show lines and is a descendent of the frozen line and my foundation female Evie. She will make a lovely pet or breeding candidate. We currently have a breeder watching her to see if she could be a good fit.

Graycie + Heath Bear – DOB September 1, 2026 – the “Legacy” Litter – ready around 11/10/26

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. These puppies will be on hold for at least two weeks to determine coat type. They are very sturdy girls who are growing very fast. Mom and Dad are both on the UKC’s Top 10 List for 2026, so these puppies should be very nice as breeding or possible show candidates. We will likely select one for ourselves.

Lydia – dark sable long-coat female – three weeks old – charting to be 5, pounds, 7 ounces – on hold for our program

I love this girl so much! She is the smallest in the litter, but she is not tiny. She has her grandma Isabelle’s face, so she is likely going to be my pick. We’re going to keep these girls on hold a bit longer to give ourselves a chance to see how they develop. She will turn a light gold or cream as an adult. Lydia is trending down on her weekly weights already, so we’ll see if she ends up being a breeding candidate. Lydia appears to have a level or perhaps a slightly undershot bite this week. Any breeder inquiries will need to be approved by Gayla Vieta, Heath Bear’s breeder.

Lainey – black & tan long-coat female – three weeks old – charting to be 6 pounds, 11 ounces at maturity – available for deposit list selection

I think Lainey has the prettiest head of the three sisters with her short muzzle and huge eyes. The only reason I’m not considering her for myself is the fact that I’m growing out two black and tan girls already. She also has an underbite, but we’re not sure if it will show as of yet. Given her short muzzle, it may show more often than not. Lainey will be the only one in the litter who stays dark. The other two girls will lighten considerably. She stayed even on her weekly weight estimate from last week. Any breeder inquiries will need to be approved by Gayla Vieta, Heath Bear’s breeder.

Liberty Blue – blue fawn long-coat female – three weeks old – charting to be 7 pounds, 2 ounces – on hold

It’s a toss-up for me for whether I like this girl or Lydia better. Size wise, Lydia makes the most sense for me to keep, but I love them both. Who am I kidding? I love all three girls so much! The blue fawns are such a fun, unexpected color – more brownish than one would imagine. If she is not our pick, we have a backup breeder and show home considering Liberty. She is trending up on her weekly weight estimates. She appears to have a level bite at the moment. Any breeder inquiries will need to be approved by Gayla Vieta, Heath Bear’s breeder.

Umber + Max – DOB September 5, 2026 – The “Midnight Train” Litter – Ready around 11/14/26

Umber surprised us with an earlier-than-planned delivery of just one little boy. Because this golden blonde guy was born on 9-5, we decided to give a tribute to Dolly Parton and are calling him Memphis as a nod to her home state. Moonshine, Merle, and Mountain were also good suggestions! But we like Dolly’s remake of the Midnight Train to Memphis song, so we’re going to go with that. We love his deep gold color.

Memphis – Chocolate Gold long-coat male – two weeks old – charting to be 6.75 pounds – available for deposit list selection

This gorgeous gold chocolate boy is a nice, sturdy long-coat Mi-Ki. He could be a candidate for a breeder/guardian/show home.

Ayla + Niko – DOB September 8, 2026 – The “Northstar” Litter – ready around November 17, 2026

Ayla and Niko had two healthy puppies and one stillborn. There is a 25% chance that each puppy could have a smooth-face coat. We will know coat types at 14 days of age. These pups will be on hold at least until then until we know coat type. Niko and Ayla come from well-titled show lines. They could carry blue and will carry tan points and clear red.

CH Cosmic Moonglow Royal T’s Ayla’s first litter will have a celestial theme.

Neoma – black and white long-coat female – two weeks old – charting to be 4.75 lbs. – on hold for breeder consideration

Neoma means, “new moon,” which echoes her mother Ayla’s name meaning of “glow around the moon.” Neoma is a beautifully marked girl with a pretty head and short muzzle. Neoma has breeder interest, but she may be too small to keep for breeding, based on her genetics, though she is currently trending up on her weekly adult weight estimate. She carries clear red, tan points, and possibly blue.

Neutron – black tuxedo long-coat male – two weeks old – charting to be 5.5 pounds – available for deposit list selection

Neutron is a cool, energetic name referencing a dense neutron star. We hope this handsome boy will be a star one day too. So far, he has that elegant look in a stunning tuxedo. What a gorgeous, charming boy! Neutron is a long coat. He could be a beautiful breeding/show candidate based on his genetics. He carries clear red, tan points, and possibly blue.

Rosalee + Harley – DOB September 8, 2026 – the “Onward” Litter – Ready around November 17, 2026

Yes, Ayla and Rosalee both decided to go into labor together the day after Labor Day! Both had dystocia, but only RosaLee required a C-section, and only one male survived. Since we are unsure about RosaLee’s reproductive future, we may consider keeping this male for our program.

Optimus – chocolate brindle male long-coat puppy – two weeks old – charting to be 6.25 pounds – on hold

Optimus is the first boy we’ve ever made of this color, so we think he’s pretty special. If he turns out nice, he may be a breeding/show candidate for us or someone else. We’re trying to decide if RosaLee is worth breeding again after two C-sections, which is an incentive to keep her boy to preserve her legacy since her only other offspring was a tiny female. Optimus is not charting as big as we thought he might be being a singleton, so he may have smaller genetics. If he’s made available for other breeding programs, he will have to be approved by Gayla Vieta, RosaLee’s breeder.

Upcoming Litters

We won’t be expecting any other litters until mid to late November which won’t be ready for adoption until late January or February. Therefore, the current puppies are all the ones that we will have available for 2026.

We are currently making selections for our Fall/Winter 2026 pairings. We hope to have due dates with confirmed pregnancies soon. Sometimes pairings do not produce pregnancies. Ultrasounds will be done in about three weeks to confirm pregnancies/estimated puppy counts. Puppies being conceived now and in the near future will be due in November and December with go-home dates starting in late January and February of 2027.

Xandria + Harley – due November 15, 2026 (not sure we had the timing right). Long coats. Black, brindle, clear reds, sables, tan points.

Holly Berry + Legend – due November 16, 2026. 50% chance for smooth. Blacks, blues, sables, fawn sables.

Cara Mia + Harley/Halen – due November 16, 2026. 25-50% chance of smooth. Blacks, sables, clear reds (Harley only), tan points.

Joyce + Richie – due November 17, 2026. Long coats only. Blacks, sables, tan points. All will carry chocolate.

Fina + Quigley – due November 18, 2026. 50% chance of smooth. Blacks, chocolates, sables, chocolate sables. 

Destiny + Richie – due November 19, 2026. Long coats. Blacks, chocolates, sables, chocolate sables, black & tan, chocolate and tan. 

Abby + Rico – due November 24, 2026. Long coats. Blacks, clear reds, sables. This pairing was done for the low COI, structure, and coat quality. We hope to keep something back from this pairing.

Planned Litters and Royal T Mi-Ki Goals

I’m still debating on who Bitsy’s final litter will be sired with as I’m hoping to keep something back from her.

I’m skipping Ivory’s second heat to give her more time to mature and be shown. Future breeding candidates include Leia, Luna, and Lily-Rose, depending on their show schedule. Sienna and Prada will get their health clearances soon, but we’ll also be delaying their pairings for showing. Nilla is also being skipped.

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.
