I don't know if it's just me being tired.but the first pic.take a way the ears and it looks like a bald older man with a mustache and goatee
The second pic is really cute.

the first picture is one cut for show, the uncut miki is adorable. i have one il'l put a picture on.:)

I like them both.it's just i've never seen a look like that in the first pic.but i do like very much.

I have never heard of these dogs, when I saw the first picture I thought of an old angry chinese man with a really bad haircut :laughing:

You're right....it does. :laughing: The second pic is adorable though. :cloud9:

From what I understand, they're another designer "breed" :P

Atleast i'm not the only one who see's an older man.i didn't want to offend anybody thats why i just said older man.

older man?
 

thats not a very good picture of a miki,and they are not a designer breed Yorkipoo ect. there a pure bred for 10 years:)

You can hardly call it a breed if it has only been around for 10 years. People have breeding labradoodles for over 10 years and they are certainly not a pure breed.

OK so what is the origin of this dog? The little one looks to me like a long haired Chi or similar type.

pure bred
 

I don't think labradoodles have registry, miki's are a registered breed.If you wan't to know about them go on line and see them:)

Yeah some of the fly by night registries take labradoodles and other mixed breeds..
Until registries that are widely accepted accept a breed, it's not been around long enough to tote as pure. Great that the 'miki registry' takes them.. That's pretty small since very little else will.

miki origin
 

There back round is japanese chin,maltese, and pappion.They are now bred miki to miki very new breed 10 years in the making ,but positively a pure bred
:)

miki
 

Untill you check them out you can't talk about them.I own one and they ARE pure bred dogs with registery[sp]go on line see what there about you may love to have one:)

The little one looks like a shih tzu cross to me. This may sound like a silly question but I've never heard of the breed before so I'm surious if the name has something to do with ears. Were they bred to resemble a Disney Micky?:o

Not to be a downer here, but where are they registered????

Never heard that breed before :confused:

Im just baffled that the Contenental Kennel Club has them listed in the herding group:shrug:
I would have thought more toy or non sporting ( if that kennel club even has those classes)

Im not even sure what the Contenental KC is... perhaps some research is in order for me.

But, regardless, thats one cute little ol chineese man with a bad hair cut:cloud9:

awww!! The first one looks like my grandpa when he doesn't get his way! soo adorable.

home work
 

You have to do your home work before you make statements like that:)

My Miki is registered with the NKC there and all breed registry since 1964:)

This is my Miki:love:

heres one more

Maggie May again, My Miki :lovestruck: Her Hair needs to be brushed :sorry:

[QUOTE=mydogs;422719]My Miki is registered with the NKC there and all breed registry since 1964:)[/QUOTE]

They say since 1970 but oh well, close

I dont quite understand this KC... Or any for that matter lately.
Could I start up the EKC??? Erika Kennel Club? 'cause from the looks of things when you search kennel clubs it seems everyone has one.:shrug:

[B]Erykah[/B] Kennel clubs were basically started way back when a bunch of guys (yes it was primarily men) decided to get together and create a way for them to compete against eachother with their dogs, and create a "stud book" where all litters would be registered for future reference. It has then developed into the many clubs we see today. The main clubs are the national kennel clubs which run large events and control registration of the breeds they accept. By national I mean the American Kennel Club, Canadian kennel club, United kennel club (Can and Am joint club, been around longer than either), European kennel club etc. In order for a breed to be recognised by them (now I do not know the specifics, but this is how I understand it to be) the breed must have been around for several years, (more than 10) and have a regular, dedicated following. There has to be so many of them registered (or available to be registered) in a certain set amount of time, and there needs to be breed representation at events throughout the year. Those who are requesting registration must create a "breed standard" of which all dogs in the breed are measured against. (I have seen a few "standards" for the Mi-Ki and they are not very consistant). This takes several years, then when the kennel club has been approached and they approve, they take it to the members to vote on whether or not the breed should be included.

There are many, many, many other kennel clubs out there that are sometimes run [U]under[/U] the national club, those include city, county and area clubs. For instance around where I live there is the Hamilton and district kennel club, Erie shores, Seaway, Welland and district, and probably more that I can not remember. Those kennel clubs do not do registries, they are the ones who hold events such as conformation shows, obedience trials, etc. They often have training classes and other special events throughout the year. Then there are the other clubs, of which I know little about, so I will not comment on them. There are many other registries besides the national clubs, but they are not affiliated with them, those include the Continental, American Pet and others (there seems to be many). I have seen some on the internet that will make up a "pedigree" for a mix breed dog, I think it is to either make money, or to make people think that their mix breed dog has a "pedigree".

So, in a way you could make up an ERIKA kennel club :D just get a bunch of people together on a regular basis, hold a few events, pay some dues and invite others to do the same :laughing: (I dont think it is really that easy though).

I am just clearing up the thing about kennel clubs, I am not picking on this breed, just so you know. Who knows maybe in 20 years they will be accepted by a national club, but most people do not accept that a dog is a purebred unless it can be registered with either the CKC, AKC, or UKC.

I agree with the others though, it is pretty cute, for a little dog :p .

They are registered in the U.K.C.as well as the N.K.C.

In horribly sorry for this horrendous threadjack on your thread, Please dont get me wrong, I think its a darn cute little dog and am actually interested in knowing more about them ( not to own one as small dogs just arent my thing) it never hurts to be knowlegable right:shrug:

Anyways...

I didnt see them in the UKC listings:confused:
