About Us

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and to
share with you a little about our Mi-Ki journey.

We were married on September 26, 1992. We moved to a small
community, which is surrounded by the beautiful Appalachian
Mountains of southeastern Tennessee. We’re located about an hour
from Chattanooga, TN. and Knoxville, TN.

We started on our Mi-Ki journey in 1998, when we purchased Casey
and Ginger. Ginger had her first litter in the spring of 1999. When
we started this journey, we never imaged the happiness that this
wonderful toy breed would bring to us. In the summer of 2000, we
added Angel to our family and CJ quickly followed in the winter
of 2001. This is how it all started and we’re now the proud
owners of 11 Mi-Kis.

Phillip and I are dedicated to breed the best quality, physically and
mentally, of the Rare Breed Mi-Kis. We breed occasionally to produce
what we believe to be quality Mi-Kis that conform to the breed
standard, are intelligent, and able to be wonderful companion dogs.

All of our adults as well as our puppies are DNA’d through the UKC,
Heart checked by a Cardiologist, CERF checked by a Ophthalmologist
at the University of Tennessee, and Patella checked through our
local vet. We go the extra mile to have all our Mi-Kis checked
by specialists, to ensure that we are breeding the best quality Mi-Kis.

Phillip and I enjoy having the opportunity to work with other
ethical and honest Mi-Ki breeders who want to improve the Mi-Ki
breed. We also enjoy having the opportunity to honestly
educate the general public about this wonderful toy breed.

Phillip and I do our best to make sure our puppies are going to
loving, and committed homes. We do our best to screen prospective
buyers to ensure a good match between our puppies and prospective
buyers. As much as possible we attempt to evaluate the personality
of our puppies by observing them during their development. We then
attempt to match the puppy that best fits to the prospective buyers
and their family. After an extensive inquiry, phone interview, into the
prospective buyers lifestyle and their home arrangements. I then
share with the prospective buyers an overview of each of the available
puppies and their personalities. We will share with them which of
the available puppies will best match them and their family. We do
this to ensure the likelihood of a fulfilling and rewarding
relationship between the new owner and their new Mi-Ki puppy.

Before any puppy leaves our home, it has been well cared for and
socialized. However, a puppy does not go to its new owner as a
trained, well-mannered finished product. It is up to the puppy buyer
to complete the job we have started. The new owner is responsible for
the further development of the puppy’s personality, through
structured discipline, training, guidance, and love.

SHIPPING OPTIONS:
We now have a shipping service available to us. This service is
provided by two wonderful women from North Carolina. The puppy
is taken on board the plane with them and hand delivered to the new
owner. The new puppy owner can also choose to fly into the
Knoxville, TN. airport, where I will meet you with your new puppy
and your new puppy's sire and dam. This gives the new owners the
opportunity to see the sire and dam of their new puppy in person.
These are the only shipping opinions, we do not ship our puppies as
baggage where they would be placed in the cargo hole of the plane.
We do this to ensure the mental and physical health of the puppy and
so that the puppy will be hand delivered to their new owner.

Phillip and I are committed to providing loving care to every puppy
we produce, for the life of that puppy. We welcome each and every
puppy buyer into our Mi-Ki family, and will do all we can to make
your experience with us memorable.
