about the miki

The Mi-Ki strain originated in the 1980's in Milwaukee, WI. The
original strain was started using the Shih Tzu, Maltese, Papillon
and the Japanese Chin. In 1993 a Papillon/Yorkshire terrier was
added to the strain. It is has taken careful breeding to bring out
the most desirable traits from all of these breeds to give us the
Mi-Ki of today.

The Mi-Ki is an intelligent, calm, and affectonate dog. They have
been bred to be a loving companion for the young and old. The
Mi-Ki has a long, silky, non-shed coat that makes them easy to
groom, usually with a a quick brushing twice a week.
Generally, the Mi-Ki bark very little. They are adaptable to any
situation, easy to train, and exceptional around children and the
elderly. Their small size makes them great apartment dogs and
they are able to get most of the exercise they require just following
you at your heels. The average height is 8-9 inches at the
shoulders and their average weight is 5-10 lbs. Making the Mi-Ki
the perfect take anywhere dog. But don't be fooled by their small
stature, these little guys can keep-up with the most adventurous
and still be ready to curl up in a lap for a snuggle.
