Reserved Puppies

These precious Mi-Kis are our reserved puppies that have not yet traveled to their new families. Our future families can still find their puppy photos here to show their friends and family members.

A Reminder to our Adopting Families: Consider booking your 72-hour post-adoption health validation checkup and second vaccination appointment now as veterinary clinics are often scheduling weeks in advance.

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.

Veronica – solid sable long-coat female – 11 weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 6 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 my best candidate for staying here. She may go to another interested breeder, however. Her ears are starting to pop up and she’s going to be very light cream.

Bitsy + Halen – DOB 4/17/26 – 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. 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. These girls are super smart and will keep you on your toes! So much fun!

Xinia – black & white smooth-face female – ten weeks old – charting to be 6 pounds, 13 ounces – Reserved

Xinia has beautiful symmetrical markings, which will be stunning on a smoothie. 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 an afternoon playing with kids and did really well being held for long stretches of time, though she did start out a little nibbly at first. Xinia had a great 8-week checkup and received her first distemper combo and microchip.

Yvonne – parti sable long-coat female – ten weeks old – charting to be 3 pounds, 5 ounces as an adult – reserved

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.

Unfortunately, Yvonne continues to trend down on her estimated adult weights. She will not be starting her vaccination series until she is 12 weeks old due to her size. Her 8-week exam was normal. Yvonne is second smallest but she’s the most confident in the litter. This can be to her detriment as she believes she can fly off of anything and is as big as anyone. She will have to be supervised to ensure she does not get into an accident, chase a bear, a big dog, or get involved in any hazard. She has NO fear. Due to her special needs, we have hand-selected Yvonne’s new owner. They are retired and already have a tiny Mi-Ki.

Yvette – parti sable long-coat female – ten weeks old – charting to be 4 pounds, 2 ounces – reserved

Yvette has symmetrical markings with Irish spotting, beautiful eyes, gorgeous expression, a broad muzzle, and a lovely head without extremes. We are delaying Yvette’s vaccines until she is 12 weeks old. Her 8-week checkup was otherwise normal. She will be adopted in mid-August when she meets the 2-pound goal.

Brighton + Heath Bear – The Zephyrus Litter – DOB 5/1/26 – ready around July 10, 2026

This litter was unplanned thanks to Richie chewing off Heath’s belly band. Brighton was considered retired but has been kept intact for showing and health reasons. The breeding was not witnessed, as it occurred during the stressful time of my father’s declining health, but we made a notation on the calendar of the possibility. Thankfully, they have three healthy puppies. They are being reserved for breeders yet to be determined, though we’ve had interest. At least one will be staying here. These pups all carry chocolate, clear red, and tan points. They may carry blue and smooth as well. They will be clear of any of the diseases that Embark tests for based on parentage. Embark results are pending.

These Mi-Ki twin sisters are hard to tell apart! Zendaya has fluffier eyebrows and a shorter muzzle. Zamora has thinner brows and a showy prance.

Zamora – tricolor female long coat – seven weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 11 ounces – reserved

Zamora has white on her chest and three of her four paws, so she’s barely a tricolor. But that’s how we tell her apart from Zendaya, who has no white. One of these girls will be staying here, and one will likely go to another breeder. Her Embark test reveals that she carries chocolate, smooth, and clear red. Thanks to her showy style, she’ll most likely be my pick.

Zendaya – black & tan female long coat – seven weeks old – charting to be 5 pounds, 12 ounces – reserved

Zendaya will likely go to another breeder, or she might select Veronica instead. Zendaya carries absolutely everything. She has a low COI and no problematic health genes, according to Embark.
