What Is A Mi-Ki?
The Mi-Ki (pronounced Mee-Kee) is a rare toy breed that originated in the 1980’s bred for companionship. They are a purebreed not a mix or designer breed. After generations of DNA, health tested bloodlines, and accurate record keeping the Mi-Ki was recognized by the United Kennel Club, UKC.
The Mi-Ki is generally healthy with generations of health and genetically tested bloodlines. They are a charming breed with a temperament all their own. The Mi-Ki is not yappy or skittish as a lot of fellow toy breeds tend to be. They are a sturdy breed, great for families with children. Given their small stature, they require gentle handling for their own safety, adult supervision is a must. They make for good companions for the elderly or those that live a less active lifestyle. Given the appropriate temperament they also make excellent Emotional Support Dogs.
Mi-Ki's need exercise and mental stimulation but no strenuous exercising is necessary.
They are highly intelligent and easy to house train. Their long coat is low to non shedding. They are hypoallergenic making them an acceptable breed for most with allergies. Their loving and easily adaptable personality classifies them as good for therapy dog work. I'm very proud of my Mi-Ki's who are working therapy and emotional support dogs.

History
Wisconsin breeder Maureen van Wormer (also known as Mikki Mackin) wanted to create a small, long-haired breed with a calm, quiet temperament. She crossbred Shih Tzus with Papillion, Maltese, Yorkshire Terriers, and Japanese Chin to develop the Mi-Ki (pronounced Mee-Kee). Though the original breeding records were lost, extensive DNA analysis of 321 genetic markers found traces of Pekingese and Pomeranian, as well.
After developing the breed standard in 1991, the first Mi-Ki registry was formed in 1999 to develop the breed further.

Purebred, AMRA, IMR or UKC registered Mi-Ki's. 100% pure Mi-Ki's. 1000% adorable. These tiny bundles of affection want only to please and be loved. Hypo-allergenic, easy care, totally FUN!

Mi-Ki’s are a truly remarkable, relatively new, hypoallergenic, low to non shedding, rare breed, toy dog.
Happy, loving, playful, sweet, gentle and engaging, Mi-Ki’s are at home with people of all ages and pets of all types.

They are born and raised in my home, kissed and cuddled daily, given outside toilet training and recall and understanding 'no biting'.

They will stand 8-10" to the shoulder and weigh between 4-10lbs as adults. They are not suited to being left for long periods of time.

I will be looking for them to go to happy, safe, forever homes. Please therefore, do not be offended if I ask you questions as the most important part of this process is choosing the right families for my puppies. They will be able to leave me from, depending on size, between 9 weeks with first vaccination and microchip and 12 weeks (13+ for the tiny ones) of age being fully vaccinated and microchipped.

I am able to arrange worldwide transport at cost.

Topsy Turvy

Ann Marie, Farnborough.

We have brought 5 pets through Lisa and we love and adore each of them. When we brought them home, we could tell they had all been raised from a loving home and Lisa always goes above and beyond when it comes to her services. From all the videos of the puppies playing, to letting us come round multiple times to interact with the puppies to the new home bags, she always puts the well-being of her animals first. We’ve had multiple questions and Lisa has always been there throughout the 4 years we’ve had our little gang. We have never had a breeder as thorough as Lisa and we do not intend to find another! Thankyou for everything you do for us!!

Susan, Stoke-on-Trent

We were blessed with having two Miki's from Lisa. They've been a real joy to have in our family with the best temperament calm and playful. Higgins and our youngest son Percy are best of friends and they love cuddles together. Lisa is a very knowledgeable breeder and helped us learn about the breed before we made the best decision to have Higgins and Betsy join our family. We are still in touch with Lisa 5 years on and I know she really cares about all the dogs she breeds and will be there if we need advise.

Kimberley, Dubai, UAE

After much research, we purchased two Miki pups just over a year ago from Lisa White. I cannot say enough good things about all aspects of my communication and support from Lisa. She was knowledgeable and efficient with all information and supported us along the way. Lisa coordinated with our pet relocation company and things could not have been smoother. Lisa was in contact with us from the day our puppies were born and we knew she loved them like her own! We absolutely adore our Miki pups and so does everyone else who visits!

Nigel, Lincoln

We have had two Mi-Ki puppies from Lisa and would have no hesitation in recommending her to any family looking for a Mi-Ki puppy. Lisa goes out of her way in ensuring everything is right for you, from the first contact and a messenger video to welcoming us to her home where we first met our little bundle of joy. She is always available to answer any worries or concerns or to offer advice. After Rudy arrived in Lincoln, we were so impressed with Lisa that we also took his brother for my partners grandchildren. Can't get to Poole, don't worry, we used Lisa's courier service that we were equally impressed with. We now have 3 Mi-kis of our own and every time Lisa posts another picture, I'm tempted to get more.

Teofil and Olena, Sweden

We are a Swedish family who owns 2 adorable Mi-ki dogs acquired from Lisa's White Nutwell Mi-ki's . Our eldest dog Mia is 2 years old. She is an absolutely lovable and caring dog. The youngest one is our naughty boy Kim who is only 7 months old. He is so cute and funny. They get along with each other very well and we hope they will build a couple in some time. The dogs are easy to take care of. They are so smart and playful which suits families with kids like our family. The dogs give a lot of love by cuddling with us, following us everywhere, sleeping with us, eating with us, watching TV with us, and when we are working remotely they understand this and lie on their carpets close to our working desk watching us. We strongly feel their unconditional love. It is easy to travel with this kind of dog. We always get a lot of attention from strangers when they see us walking with our dogs as this breed does not exist in Sweden. Once when we were visiting an open market we got a question if they could take photo of Mia. Dogs are friendly to strangers but still on their alert. They can bark when strange people are passing by our house or come to us . But it goes over very fast. We are very glad with our new family members. Lisa White is reliable and responsible person who loves her pets and wants only best for her dogs. We got a lot of help and support from her when transporting dogs from UK to Sweden by air company as it required issuing some documents. She even advised air company who could help with transporting dogs as not all air companies provide such services. Lisa adores her dogs and before we got our dogs to Sweden we got a lot of nice videos and pictures. We still keep in touch with Lisa and send Mia's and Kim's pictures and videos to her which she is really grateful for. It is important for her that the dogs get really nice homes and we are honored that she believed in us from the beginning. Thank you Lisa!

'I loved them first' was written by Heather Andelin of California Danes. Thank you Heather for allowing me to share your heartfelt letter.

Dear past and future puppy owners,

I loved them first. I thought of you years before you even realized. I planned for and cared about your baby long before you started thinking of adding to your family. I worried about your future with that puppy before you knew there would be one.

There were hours upon hours spent researching lines for the parents of your puppies. Going over breeder after breeder, choosing not only my pet but looking for a dog that will make you your pet. Worrying if you'd be happy, if I had chosen correctly and your puppy would grow up healthy and happy. Going over puppy after puppy with fellow breeders, running over my program with as many knowledgeable breeders as I can, determined to not miss anything. Tracing lines back as far as I could, learning the ins and outs not only for my knowledge but so that I was informed, prepared to go over every detail with you, to answer the questions that sometimes you don't even ask.

Then there's years of watching your puppies parents grow. Loving them and enjoying them as part of my family. Taking them every where I can, training them, socializing them, watching how they fill out. Asking myself I had made the right choice in both of them. Scrutinizing their confirmation, how they move, and their temperament. There was the stress of health testing. Praying not only that my babies were healthy but that they had the genes to make your baby healthy.

Finally came the time to put your puppies parents together. For the next 63 days I worried, I obsessed, I grew excited. I watched your puppies mom like a hawk. Making sure my baby was ok, monitoring her diet better than I do my own. Concerned that she was getting enough of the right nutrients and that your growing baby was getting the best start possible. I spent hours on the couch, floor, and dog bed with her watching her tummy grow and anxiously waiting. As your baby and mine grew I laid my hands on her tummy and felt the first movements of your puppy. As the time grew close I spent most nights in the nursery with her. Making sure she didn't go into labour without me knowing, in case something went wrong and one of our babies needed help. When labour started my whole life stopped. I spent every second with her. Your baby was born into my hands and I held my breath as I cleaned them up, watching for movement and breathing, checking them over, and wondering if you'd love them as much as I already did. I helped your babies brother when mom got tired and he was stuck. I cried when your babies sister didn't make it.

For the first 8 weeks most of my life was filled with your baby. Watching them grow and making sure I was doing everything possible to make sure they started their lives the right way. Making sure each one was getting enough to eat, enough socialization time, that they were dewormed and given their shots. I was the first person they saw when they opened their eyes. I spent my weeks playing with them and keeping them safe.

I searched for you and interviewed you. As you spoke I tried to read your character. Would you love them as much as I do? Would you bring them in as part of your family? Would you care for this tiny life that I brought into this world that I am responsible for? Some of you were turned away but some of you were welcomed into our family. The day you took your baby home was harder than I'd ever let on. I was excited for you but I was also terrified. Had I chosen correctly? Were you who you seemed to be?

My love and worry didn't end there. I thought about your baby regularly, saddened when I didn't get updates, ecstatic when I did. I hoped you were caring for your baby the way I care for mine.

I loved your baby first and I will never stop."
