Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
My search for a smaller breed with great temperament led me to the rare Mi-Ki. After adopting two Mi-Kis, their joy, intelligence, and unique personalities amazed everyone who met them. Encouraged by my mentor and guided by science, I embraced breeding to help diversify the gene pool and bring this exceptional breed into more loving homes, combining my expertise with my intense passion for dogs.What makes your program special?
As a small boutique breeder, our dogs are family, living at home with ultimate attention. We emphasize health, temperament, and genetic diversity, using thoughtful pairings.

Our Mi-Kis are top-of-the-line with focus on conformation and pedigree.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white, black, silver, red, fawn, cream, brown, beige, and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Ozzy, dad
Mi-Ki
About Ozzy
Royal T's Ozzy Metro was our first pick as Mi-Ki breeders. He has excellent conformation, beautiful coloring and a lion-like coat. Ozzy is an exceptional stud. As a smaller Mi-Ki of just over 4 lbs, Ozzy preserves the small size in pups. Ozzy is the offspring of UKC Champion Royal T's Harley Ryder. When Ozzy walks, he prances and appears to be filled with helium, such that he has to press his feet into the ground to keep gravity working! Ozzy is our mascot and he's the first ever UKC blue ribbon winner smooth-face Mi-Ki in the world!
Ruby, mom
Mi-Ki
About Ruby
TLC's "Ruby" Metro was our first female. She is the rare "smoothie" or smooth-faced Mi-Ki. A black and white parti, Ruby has a great stature for carrying puppies. She's strong and wise and chief among the leaders of our dog pack. Ruby is smart, she likes to climb, and she loves, loves loves human beings to call her name. And her pups inherit these qualities from Ruby. She is often bred with Ozzy who is the a beautiful smoothie specimen himself giving a variety of black, black and white, red sable, tan sable and sable and white or tri-colored smoothie puppies. Smoothies look like bigger breeds in a mini size and make exceptional pets. Their coats are practically carefree and silky to the touch.

Hugo is very attuned to the needs of his people and he is also our dog pack alpha. He's the adult dog with the calmest, wisest energy and he's a great mentor to youngsters in the pack.

Little Trevor has settled in very nicely. He has made a lot of friends and is really coming into his own now. I think he’s a very smart little cookie. He gets along very well with his sister Daisy.
