Congratulations AMRA for accomplishing a true breakthrough for the Mi-Ki Breed! The American Mi-Ki Registry Association has, with the help of scientific specialists, developed a marker for the Mi-Ki Breed! If you wish to know if you have a true Mi-Ki, you can now test your dog's DNA to find out it's true heritage! The Wisdom Panel test can now test 170+ breeds including the Mi-Ki! The Wisdom Panel test looks at over 300 genetic markers uniquely identifying each individual breed. This is a huge step forward for the Mi-Ki as they now have scientific genetic proof that they are, in fact, a pure breed. If you are interested in testing your Mi-Ki, you can visit www.wisdompanel.com to purchase a test kit, as well as through certain private veterinarians. The only test that can indentify a Mi-Ki, is the blood test. Be sure to purchase the correct test kit!
"NEW HEALTH SCREENING ENSURES ADOPTING FAMILIES RECEIVE HEALTHY MI-KI PUPPIES
UPDATE:AMRA is proud to announce the mandatory introduction of a new state-of-the-art testing procedure that tests all AMRA registered Mi-Kis (and puppies) to see if they are carriers of various different life-altering/life-threatening canine diseases. By requiring this test, we are helping AMRA breeders become more educated about choosing mating pairs and are, in turn, helping them create the healthiest best quality Mi-Ki Puppies possible! AMRA is proud to be the FIRST AND ONLY Mi-Ki organization to step into this new scientific realm. (To see a list of the diseases tested for, please click here: ) Our goal is to give our breeders better tools to help them create superior Mi-Ki Puppies.... the best in health, temperament, structure, and overall quality. Achieving this goal will result in those wishing to add a Mi-Ki to their lives, having a greater chance of receiving a Mi-Ki Puppy that will live to be a ripe old age and free from long term health issues from any of our top quality AMRA Mi-Ki Breeders! It is important to note that Mi-Kis are not currently prone to ANY life-threatening or life-altering diseases that we are testing for; however, we know that in genetics mutations can happen and we are prescreening to ensure that any negative mutation would be caught and dealt with immediately. Mi-Ki Dogs and Mi-Ki Puppies are generally VERY healthy! We want to ensure that it stays that way.
If you are looking to add a Mi-Ki Puppy to your family, please consider adopting from a qualified AMRA Registering Mi-Ki Breeder!

UPDATE:AMRA is proud to announce their introduction of the very FIRST "Mi-Ki Database"! For the first time, breeders will have an online pedigree research program available to them in order to gain knowledge on the history of the Mi-Ki Dogs within their pedigrees. This will help educate mi-ki breeders as to the characteristics and traits in the generations behind their Mi-Ki Dogs and Puppies and allow them to make a more informed decision when selecting breeding pairs. This will surely have a positive impact on the Mi-Ki Breed and the Mi-Ki Puppies born to educated Mi-Ki Breeders! We are always striving for education, quality, and improvement with each subsequent generation.
The American Mi-Ki Registry Association is dedicated to the verification and registration of purebred Mi-Ki dogs and puppies along with promoting the advancement and betterment of the breed. The AMRA registry welcomes all purebred Mi-Ki whether they are for show/breeding or a family companion, regardless of club affiliation.
The American Mi-Ki Registry Association provides official pedigree and registration documentation verifying the purebred lineage of our registered Mi-Ki dogs. When purchasing a purebred Mi-Ki, look for the AMRA seal. This is your way of knowing that you are receiving a true, DNA-Verified purebred Mi-Ki dog and/or puppy.
Gene pool diversity can be a problem with any rare breed. The American Mi-Ki Registry Association is trying to address this issue by uniting all purebred Mi-Ki breeders under one goal; to protect and secure the longevity of this wonderful rare breed. Only through a reliable database (registry) and the exchange of accurate detailed information will the Mi-Ki be able to maintain its quality status and healthy lines.
The AMRA recognizes two varieties within the Mi-Ki breed: The smooth coat Mi-Ki & the long coat Mi-Ki. See below examples:
From Left to Right: Smooth coat puppy, Long coat adult in show cut, Long coat puppy.
The American Mi-Ki Registry Association is dedicated to preserving the standard of excellence in this unique breed. Register your Mi-Ki dogs and puppies with AMRA and be part of a positive move towards the protection of our beloved Mi-Ki.
