Occasionally, we have retiring adult Mi-Kis available to the right home. It’s always a difficult decision to place our treasured companions into other families when they’ve been such a huge part of ours. We try to balance the needs of the Mi-Ki gene pool, our family, and the needs of the dogs. This means not over-breeding our Mi-Kis, not collecting too many, and allowing them to retire to a pampered life in a loving family where they aren’t competing with several other dogs for attention.
Mi-Kis usually live from 12-15 years of age. Adopting one of our adults or older puppies is less of a commitment for retirees who are looking for companionship or families hoping to skip potty training and the teething stage.
As family dogs, our adults are not accustomed to being in crates. They are fond of sleeping with humans, playing in the yard with supervision, regular walks, and being part of our lives. In short, our adult Mi-Kis are ready-made pets that will thrive with a bit of fine-tuning with training that they’ll be able to receive with more individualized care.
Bernadette – black smooth-face female – 4 years old – Available now
Bernadette is a shiny black smooth-face Mi-Kis with adorable white gloves that are spotted. Bernadette sometimes takes a little while to warm up to new people at first, but she loves sleeping in our bed. Since baby gates don’t contain her, she follows me around the house. She isn’t pushy about getting attention but once she decides she likes you, she’ll get very close to your face and offer a rare kiss. She is very cat-like in personality. She has beautiful eyes and a short muzzle. She’s very athletic but has not been terribly fond of being in a harness to go for walks. She does love running around in our back yard, however. She was spayed November 5th and has recovered completely, so she is available now. Due to her recent litter, her coat is a bit sparse, but it should fill in nicely soon. Smooth-face Mi-Kis are very easy to maintain. She won’t require professional grooming unless you need a bit of help trimming her black nails and shaving the bottoms of her feet occasionally. She is being offered for $2,500.
Older Puppies
Are you looking to skip some of the difficulties associated with the puppy phase? These pups have been trained to indoor grass patches. With a bit of individualized care, they will soon be the perfect pet. Being fully vaccinated, this will be a significant savings for their new families.
Umber + Rhett – DOB June 21, 2025 – The “Illuminated” Litter
Irving – buff tweener long-coat male – 7 months old – currently weighs 7.1 pounds and is charting to be 7.5 pounds at maturity – available, ready now
Irving is a beautiful boy who is easy to spot as he is more of an apricot color rather than light cream like his littermates. Irving’s genetic test says he is a long coat who carries the smooth gene. He does have a few longer strands on his muzzle and brows, so we believe he is likely is a tweener long coat, which means he will be very easy to comb and groom. His ears were up for a while, but have since gone back down. This guy looks like a miniature golden retriever! Irving would be ideal for a retiree who wants a Velcro buddy as he loves to be near his people as much as possible. He does get carsick, but will hopefully outgrow it. Irving’s price is reduced to $3,000 to get him in his forever home soon. Irving is turning into a rather chill boy who can often be seen enjoying the cool tile floor with his rear legs stretched out behind him. His grandpa Sinbad used to do this, and it makes me smile.
Bernadette + Jay – DOB August 29, 2025 – the “Kudos” Litter – ready now
Kaden – black brindle & white smooth-face male – 5.5 months old – charting to be 7 pounds, 0 ounces as an adult – available
Kaden is a beautifully marked 5.5-month-old smoothie boy. I used to think he was black and white, but he has a lot of gold showing in the black, especially behind his ears, so he’s probably a black brindle. He could carry blue and/or chocolate. Kaden is fun, playful, affectionate, and extremely athletic. Once he’s held, he is very cuddly. He seems pretty clever, so his new family will have to be on their toes to stay one step ahead of him. Kaden would be suitable for families with kids. He had a great checkup and has received all three of his distemper combos, so he only needs a rabies. Even though he’s into the awkward-looking stage that smoothies often go through, you can see he’s got beautiful structure and will be a handsome boy when his adult coat comes in.
