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.
We are currently making our way through the deposit list to see if folks are ready to choose from our current batch. Notes will be made on each entry so you can see what the status is.

Current Puppies (Listed under their parents):
Xandria + Cosmo – DOB March 8, 2026 – The “Unforgettable” Litter – ready now
Urban – gold long-coat male – eight weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 13 ounces at maturity – available, ready now
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. Temperament 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 about a week since he’s already 2 pounds.
Joyce + Heath Bear – DOB 4/13/26 – The Vivacious Litter – ready around 6/22/26
Joyce and Heath can only produce long coats. These girls are very pretty puppies, and I’ve had good outcomes with Joyce’s lines for structure. They will all carry chocolate and tan points. They could also carry smooth, blue, and clear red. They could make nice breeding candidates for another breeder or me.
Venus – black & tan long-coat female – seven weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 12 ounces – available for breeder consideration or pet deposit list
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. She carries chocolate and may carry blue, smooth, and clear red as well. She is trending up on her weekly adult weight estimates. I was considering her, but will likely keep a black & tan girl from our surprise Brighton litter instead. She would make a lovely breeding candidate for someone else. Let me know if you’d like any color/coat testing done on her. Venus went down on her adult weight estimate this week. Venus is very sweet and likes to watch what’s going on before jumping in. I like her a lot but didn’t test her with Embark since I’ll be keeping one of Brighton’s black and tan girls. Although Venus is beautiful and likely carries lots of great traits, I think she’d prefer to be in a pet home rather than a show home. She’s a gentle cuddler.
Veronica – solid sable long-coat female – seven weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 7 ounces – on hold for breeder consideration
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 blessings to be grateful for. Veronica means “true image” and “she who brings victory.” Veronica carries chocolate, blue, tan points, and clear red. Veronica will be on hold for a couple more weeks for me to evaluate her for our program. She has been tested with Embark and carries everything but smooth. She has a very low inbreeding coefficient. She already likes to give kisses. I do like how she’s shaping up conformation wise. She looks like her mom, but she’s shaped more compactly like Heath. Veronica is trending up on her adult weight estimates this week. With Cara’s litter not growing much, Veronica’s starting to look like my best candidate for staying here.
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. These puppies are beautiful and could be considered for a breeding program, but their brother’s cleft lip is a factor to take into account.
Winona – white/apricot long-coat female – seven weeks old – charting to be 6 pounds, 11 ounces – available for deposit list selection
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. Winona seems very sweet and content so far. She is going to be gorgeous! She is trending up on her weekly adult weight estimates. She does have minimal tear staining and these photos have not been retouched.
Winnie – black & white long-coat female – seven weeks old – charting to be 7 pounds, 0 ounces – available for pet deposit list
Winnie is a flashy, beautifully marked girl. She’s the easiest to pick out in the litter. Winnie means, “gentle friend, friend of peace.” I could easily keep this girl for her temperament alone. She has balanced conformation. She’s lovely inside and out. She is staying even on her weekly adult weight estimates. She does not appear to have the silvering gene. Her coat has a bit more wave to it than Wendie’s, but it seems pretty easy to care for. I may end up keeping her if she doesn’t get selected by the waitlist.
Whitney – white & cream long-coat female – seven weeks old – charting to be 6 pounds, 9 ounces – available for deposit list selection
Whitney means “by the white island.” She is a pretty white female with a few faint cream spots. Whitney is a cuddly girl who is not very demanding, though she definitely prefers to be out of the pen. She has learned that she likes cuddles and is sweet and gentle. She’s not shy, but she’s not in your face either. Whitney has a short-legged body style and a gorgeous, long, silky coat. She has very slight tear staining. These photos have not been retouched. Whitney did really well playing with children this afternoon. Her sturdier size made good company for the kids.
Wendie – black & white long-coat female – seven weeks old – charting to be 6 pounds, 10 ounces – available for deposit list selection
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. Wendie does not appear to have the silvering gene. Wendie spent the afternoon being socialized with kids but seemed more oriented to playing with the other puppies.
William – white & cream long-coat male with cleft lip – six weeks old – charting to be 6 pounds, 3 ounces – available for a special family
William is a very special boy who has a cleft lip. This 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 superficial, and we’re hopeful it won’t require a repair. We are aware that congenital issues can cluster, however. In general, I’ve observed normal behaviors with this guy, but he appears to have some eye differences (squinting more/sensitivity to light on the left), so we’ll see how he continues to develop. It’s not uncommon for eyes to drift and not track perfectly in young puppies, but if they don’t start straightening out soon, it could be indicative of other issues. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers to keep rooting for William!
William has been a popular gentleman with everyone who visits. We have had several inquiries for him. After his vet check next week, we will learn if he is an adoption candidate.
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. These girls are available for our deposit list to consider as well as breeders (including myself!) If one of these girls ends up being show quality, she may end up staying here since Bitsy is nearing her retirement age, and she’s one of our favorites.
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. These girls are not very laid-back. They have higher drive than most Mi-Kis and can be vocal. They would do best in active families who will be able to guide and appreciate fun, clever, adventurous pups. My experience is that higher-drive Mi-Kis make excellent mothers and show dogs.
Xinia – black & white smooth-face female – six weeks old – charting to be 7 pounds, 1 ounce – available for deposit list/breeder consideration
Xinia has beautiful symmetrical markings, which will be stunning on a smoothie. Xinia could make a sturdy breeding candidate who may carry chocolate, blue, clear red, and/or tan points. She will also make a gorgeous pet. She reminds me of a black and white version of Quigley. She’s very sweet, but her expression this week shows some displeasure at times from being woken up from a nap to do photos. Historically, Xinia tends to trend up on her weekly adult weight estimates; however, this week she went down due to being more active and getting to spend more time outside of her pen. Regardless, my guess is that she may end up over 8 pounds. Xinia is slightly less active than her sisters but is still playful and would be suited for an adventurous family. Due to her sturdy size, she would also be appropriate for a household with children. As a smoothie, Xinia will shed, but she will not require professional grooming. She has the most fabulous brow whiskers I’ve ever seen on a Mi-Ki. Xinia spent the afternoon playing with kids and did really well be held for long stretches of time, though she did start out a little nibbly at first.
Xahara – solid black smooth-face female – six weeks old – charting to be 7 pounds, 0 ounces – available for breeder or deposit list consideration
This girl is positively stunning smooth-face girl with a gorgeous head and muzzle. Now that she’s up on her feet, she just keeps looking better. For breeders, she could carry blue, chocolate, tan points, and clear red. She would also make a gorgeous, easy-care pet. Xahara reminds me of a smooth-face version of Bitsy’s beautiful daughter Xandria. It’s funny how we landed on another X litter for Bitsy this time around. For interested breeder friends, let me know if you would like any color testing on her. She has been level on her weekly adult weight estimates. Xahara has a spicy personality and is quite the talker. She doesn’t bark just to bark, though. She really does think she’s talking to me and I’m probably reinforcing the behavior by talking back. As a smoothie, Xahara will shed, but she will not require professional grooming.
Xella – tricolor smooth-face female – six weeks old – charting to be 6 pounds, 3 ounces – available for breeder consideration or deposit list selection
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 the highest energy of the three smoothie sisters. 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 today, but had to be redirected with a toy as she like nipping.
Cara Mia + Max and/or Harley – DOB 4/21/26 – The Youthful Litter – Ready around June 30, 2026
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. Although the pups look like they are charting small, the predicted weights are artificially low at first in large litters. Cara is 8.5 pounds and Max is 12. They produce puppies of all sizes – even ones that are barely 4 pounds as adults.
Yara – white & cream long-coat female – six weeks old – charting to be 4.0 pounds – available for deposit list selection – tiny dog experience preferred
Yara means “small butterfly,” and she was the smallest in the litter, but now Yvonne is. She is developing light cream spots. I think she’s absolutely lovely. She has been trending up slowly or staying even on her weekly adult weight estimates, so she may be genetically small rather than just dealing with a lot of competition for milk. She will be suitable for a home that can look out for her tiny-Mi-Ki needs. She won’t be suitable for a home with large dogs or young children. She will likely require extra growing time and may have to go home at 12+ weeks of age. Yara is a better eater than Yumi and Yvonne, but she will still need heavy supervision to ensure she doesn’t slip into hypoglycemia, as the tiniest pups are prone to doing. Yara loves to give kisses and be held.
Yumi – white/cream long-coat female – six weeks old – charting to be 4.0 pounds – Available for deposit list selection – tiny dog experience preferred
Yumi means “abundance.” It’s pronounced, “Yoo-mee,” and might have you singing, “You and Me belong together; like cold ice tea and warm weather.” She is white with apricot spots. She was my keeper, but since Yumi isn’t gaining well, she has been released as a pet for our deposit list to consider. She will need to go to a home with tiny-dog experience who can monitor her for hypoglycemia since she is hit or miss with her eating. Yumi would rather give kisses than waste time eating. Yumi is one of Lindsay’s top picks. She needs another day to decide.
Yuki – white long-coat female – six weeks old – charting to be 4 pounds, 3 ounces – available for deposit list selection, tiny dog experience preferred
Yuki appears to be the whitest, so we named her Yuki, which means “snow.” Another very pretty girl! She seems pretty confident but isn’t in your face. She has nice nose pigment for a white female, which is important in our breed standard. She went up a little this week on her adult weight estimates. She is showing more interest in solid foods, so she may trend up. But she’s still quite small. Yuki looks the most like Cara Mia as far as puppy pictures go. So if you like Cara’s look, Yuki might be for you. This could include an underbite that may or may not show as she matures. Yuki was introduced to a young boy today and they snuggled all afternoon.
Yvonne – parti sable long-coat female – six weeks old – charting to be 3 pounds, 11 as an adult – available for deposit list selection – tiny dog experience preferred
Of the two sable girls, this one will lighten up to more of an ash blonde/cream. Yvonne has what Bill and I have identified as the “Abby Face,” which is a gorgeous, perennial look we trace back to our very first litter. She has gorgeous conformation. She has very fine bones and would not be suited for a home with young children and larger dogs. She prefers attention over food which will mean her diet will have to be carefully monitored to make sure she’s getting enough to eat. Due to her size and inconsistent eating habits, she will have to be supervised until she’s grown to avoid hypoglycemia. Someone who works from home or is a retiree would be ideal for her. Yvonne won’t eat until her emotional tank is filled, which includes lots of cuddle time and kisses. Yvonne is one of Lindsay’s two top picks. She did surprisingly well with visiting young kids today, though she is pretty wiggly. After seeing that Yvonne is trending back down on her adult weight estimates, despite the introduction of solid foods, I have encouraged Lindsay to choose a sturdier puppy.
Yvette – parti sable long-coat female – six weeks old – charting to be 4 pounds, 3 ounces – on hold for our program for another week
Yvette is my True North for where I am headed for “type” in my Mi-Ki breeding program. She has symmetrical markings with Irish spotting, beautiful eyes, gorgeous expression, a broad muzzle, and a lovely head without extremes. If she ends up charting to be over 4.5 pounds, and the rest of her conformation shapes up nicely, she will be staying here. She carries clear red and may carry chocolate and tan points. She could also carry smooth. Unfortunately, Yvette isn’t gaining as well as I had hoped, so she may be available as a pet. We’ll give her another week on solid foods before deciding. She does seem to be really making an effort at the food dish, so perhaps she’ll be mine. Lindsay is watching this girl, too, if she ends up being too small for me. She enjoyed visiting with a few young children this afternoon.
Yolanda – white long-coat female – six weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 11 ounces as an adult – available for deposit list selection
Last but not least is the lovely Yolanda. She is also quite a beautiful girl. Yolanda is the biggest in the litter. She and Yuki are very hard to tell apart as they are both very white with light cream patches in the same places and good pigment developing. Yolanda’s muzzle is maybe a tad longer with a bit more of a pouty lower lip, which is showing signs of turning into a visible underbite. Regardless, she’s very pretty. Her temperament is friendly and even. She loves posing for the camera and has a wonderful expression. She is shaping up to be one of my favorites, but I’ve made her available as a perma-grin isn’t favorable in the show ring, even if it is cute. She is the one on the video that is determined to stay awake the longest to get time alone with me. Yolanda was socialized with children this afternoon and did really well with them.
Mirabella + Heston – DOB 5/10/26 – The Adorned Litter – ready around July 19, 2026
Mirabella successfully delivered her puppies naturally early on Mother’s Day. She delivered in the car on the way to the ER Vet, as we had concerns she may not be big enough to do so without a C-section. The first boy was stillborn despite a quick delivery and early intervention. She had one parti-sable female and a black-and-white male. Both carry chocolate and blue and may carry tan points and/or clear red. Only Heston can produce sables, so we know the girl is out of him. The boy could be from Cosmo or Heston. Arabella and Austin will be on hold until they are 2-3 weeks old to ensure they are thriving.
Arabella – parti sable long-coat female – three weeks old – charting to be 3.5 pounds – on hold
We’ve had several inquiries about this female, but it is looking like I will likely have to hand-select her guardian, as she is staying super small. She has a slight overbite at this point, but since the lower jaw tends to grow the fastest, we’re not too concerned about it. Parti sables lighten considerably as they mature. She will likely be a pale gold with dark fringe on her ears.
Austin – black & white long-coat male – three weeks old – charting to be 5.25 pounds as an adult – available for breeder consideration/deposit list selection
Austin could either be Cosmo’s or Heston’s boy. He’s handsome either way. He will carry chocolate, blue, and possibly clear red and tan points. We love his little angel’s kiss on the top of his head.
Zelda + Mario/Heston – The “Brave” Litter – DOB May 27, 2026
Zelda gave birth to four beautiful puppies. Unfortunately, Bruno was too small to survive and now Bowie is struggling. It was just too big of a litter for Zelda to successfully support as a four-pound mom. Thankfully, Bonnie and Braxton seem to be doing very well. These are all long-coat puppies. I have been hoping to keep something back from Zelda as she’s the last link I have going back to Lucy and Gabriella. We will see if that is possible.
Bonnie – Chocolate parti sable female long coat – one day old – 3.2 ounces at birth – on hold
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 is a candidate for carrying on Zelda’s legacy, but that will all depend on size. Only females over 4 pounds are considered for breeding, and my preference is over 5.
Braxton – sable longcoat male – one day old – one day old – 2.8 ounces at birth – on hold
I believe I’m seeing a dark mask under the blaze of these twin-like sable brothers, which likely indicates they are Mario’s offspring since he carries the masking gene. If so, permission will have to be obtained from Mario’s sire’s owner for them to go to breeders. These boys carry blue, tan points, and could carry chocolate, clear red, and smooth.
Bowie – Parti sable male (more white) one day old – 2.5 ounces at birth – on hold
Bowie’s mask is more apparent than Braxton’s, so he is likely Mario’s boy. Bowie isn’t growing very well and seems to be struggling. We’re having to hand feed him. I think four puppies was just too much for Zelda’s tiny four-pound body.
Upcoming Litters
Yohanna + Mario/Rhett – due approximately June 4, 2026
Although we’ve enjoyed the Max/Rhett pairings with Yohanna, we wanted to mix things up by using Mario for some genetic diversity. But Rhett insisted he get a chance with her since Mario cheated on Yohanna with Nilla. May the best boy win. Yohanna can make chocolates, blacks, and tan-point babies with either male, but has more of a chance for particolors with Rhett.
Nilla + Mario – possibly due around June 8, 2026
My plan was to pair Nilla with Quigley this time, but I couldn’t make it happen with my Dad’s complications. I tried to put Mario together with Yohanna for her final breeding, but then he decided Nilla was his choice instead. There was only one pairing with Nilla, so I don’t know if the breeding will take. The photo with the puppies features Mario’s offspring, so we know they will be cute. They can be chocolate, sable, cream, or black and tans. They can produce long or smooth-faced puppies. There is also a slight possibility that Yoshi may be the sire as I saw him attempt to pair with her before I realized she was in season, but I think it was too early. If Yoshi was successful, the due date could be earlier than predicted.
Dresden + Cosmo – Due approximately June 13, 2026
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’ll need to find a “midwoof” to watch Dresden on her due date since my Dad’s service is also June 13th.
Mei Mei + Harley/Pepe/Gimli – approximately due June 16, 2026
My first choice for Mei Mei was Harley for the possibility of chocolate and great structure, but Pepe snuck in during a belly band change. Pepe wouldn’t be a bad choice as far as passing on his gorgeous coat, big eyes, and short muzzle. Gimli was also in town while she was fertile, and the AMRA registrar said he would be a good choice for Mei Mei as well, with a higher chance of getting chocolates. Pepe and Harley can both produce cream/white puppies as well. This could be an interesting litter.
Molly + Rhett and/or Mario – due approximately July 7, 2026
Molly and these sires can only produce sables or black and tan long-coat puppies. This is Molly’s first litter. They should be beautiful!
Whimsy + Heath and/or Gimli – due approximately July 24, 2026
Whimsy can only produce black or blue puppies. They have a 50% chance of being smoothies with either sire. Every puppy will carry blue and chocolate.
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.
