Oops, sorry!

I think you're right. They would make wonderful therapy dogs. They have the perfect laid back, sweet, and cuddly personality!

Have you seen a lot of the different colors yet? They all look so different!

I've looked at every bit of info that I can search! They are all so cute and different, it would be hard to decide! I know this is silly, but I almost feel like a traitor to Boomer! He's asleep in the crook of my arm (makes it kinda hard to type lol) being a sweetheart, and all I can think about is getting another dog

We almost got one years ago when we first "met" one and fell head over heels in love with him and then the breed. But they were very new in the US and there weren't any reputable breeds closer than Florida. Be careful and get LOTS of references on any Mi-Ki breeders. Maybe it's not so bad now, but at the time there were LOTS of breeders accused of passing off other cross breeds as Mi-Ki's (a couple in Illinois). We still would like one in the future!!

Are you interested in the long hair or short hai? - They look completely different.

They are really cute. I saw them in my Modern Dog mag. in the breeders ad section.

MyFairLacy · 03-13-2008, 08:21 PM

Every Mi-Ki I've seen looks so different. Isn't a breed supposed to be consistent? They all look like different mixed breed dogs to me..just my opinion

autumn star · 03-14-2008, 03:51 AM

my neighbor just put a deposit down on one. He is paying $4500 for his!

Just thinking out loud here...Every breed began somewhere at some time, right? Well, what if this is just the beginning of a breed that, in years to come, will be as common and loved as the well known breeds that we have now? I don't like designer dogs, but I really don't feel the Mi-Ki falls into that category. Of course I could be wrong..it's happened a time or two before

Anyway, I would never pay such a ridiculous price for ANY dog.

you're right..they all started somewhere. I haven't read alot about the Mi-Kis but I'm assuming whoever started creating them had a goal in mind about look, personality, etc. I would just want to see consistency before I'd consider buying one.

hha · 03-14-2008, 10:05 AM

they are cute..you are going to find a lot of different looks in them, but, I also see a lot of different looks in yorkies

Ditto that. I wouldn't buy a MiKi unless I knew what it would look like full grown, especially for that kind of money.

Jenn218 · 03-14-2008, 10:25 AM

Is the Mi-chi and the Mi-Ki different? I have seen the Mi-Chi's and they are really really cute...little...etc. But the Mi-Ki's look different...I'm confused.

Are these new dog breeds by AKC?

no, Mi-ki's are not recognized by AKC. They may be in some of those other registries...The ARBA allows them to show in the misc. class

littlewhip · 03-14-2008, 10:34 AM

Wow I had never heard of them before, They are very pretty, They must be very rare..They kind of remind me of a jap chin, I love them to

iloveYorkiesFL · 03-14-2008, 10:40 AM

How are they different than papillions/shih tsu/jap chin? They look so similar!

celstu1 · 03-14-2008, 10:44 AM

OMG! What an ADORABLE BREED!!!!!!! I know nothing about them, but those little faces... *SIGGHH* I think Im in love too!!!
