FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does a MiKi Puppy Cost?

The prices for puppies can vary... call Denise at 574-534-4415 for more information.

What is The Process For Purchasing a Puppy?

After you have picked out which puppy you would like to purchase, you will need to send a deposit to hold the puppy. A pup is not considered sold until a deposit is received.

How Much is The Deposit and is it Refundable?

We require a $500 non-refundable deposit to hold a puppy. A puppy is not considered "sold" without a deposit. I hold the puppy for the customer whose deposit is received first. Good intentions are nice, but it's when I receive a deposit that I know a person is serious about purchasing a puppy. The "non-refundable" deposit is refundable under our 100% Money Back Guarantee. Basically if after you receive your pup, it isn't everything you ever wanted... you may return it for a full refund of the price of the puppy/dog.

What Kind of Payment Will You Accept?

We accept Money Orders, Cashiers Checks, Bank Checks Paypal (credit cards through Paypal), Money Revolution (similar to Paypal and preferred over Paypal) and of course, Cash.

How Old Are The Puppies When You Let Them Go?

The normal age is between 10 to 12 weeks depending on individual puppies.

What Do Your Puppies Weigh Full Grown?

A good rule of thumb is to double a MiKi pups weight at 8 weeks old (it's still just a guess). This technique will give you a rough idea of what a pups adult weight will be. Most of our puppies weigh between 3.5 to 5 pounds as adults. The breed standard is 4 to 8 pounds. Three of our mommas weigh four pounds, one weighs five pounds and another six pounds. Our studs weigh between 4 pounds.

Will My Puppy Have Its Vaccines?

Yes. All puppies will have their first and (most) second series of vaccines (sometimes their third depending on age) before leaving our home. They will also be free of fleas and parasites... no worries there!

Will My Puppy Be Vet Checked? If So, What is Checked?

All puppies will be Vet checked before leaving our home. Our Veterinarian will check the heart, lungs, knees, ears, eyes, teeth, testicles and abdomen. You will be informed immediately if anything was noted during the pup’s exam.

Do You Offer a Health Guarantee?

Yes. We offer a 2-year written health guarantee for any life threatening genetically inherited birth defect(s). Heart, lungs, kidneys, liver defects etc... til the puppy is two years of age.

What Color(s) Do Mi-Kis Come In?

We have litters of every color that a puppy could come in. When talking to us, we may tell you which puppy WE like best and it isn't usually because of their looks, we usually fall for personality. Most, but not all Mi-Ki's, will change color by the time they are a year old. It's nearly impossible to know which puppies will keep their color and which ones will change. It is natural to choose a puppy by its "cute" looks. However, once you get to know the puppy... their sweet/fun loving personalities shine through and you see them for who they are and not what they look like on the outside (It's true!). So, even if their color does happen to change, chances are you will not even notice it; until, of course, you see an "old" puppy picture of them.

What Kind of Supplies Will I Need For My New Puppy?

You may want to buy a small crate/bed, food bowls, puppy food, metal comb, tear-free puppy shampoo and a Dog litter box (Walmart ($14.97). These items can be found at most pet stores like Pet Smart, Petco, Pet Supplies Plus, Walmart and even Kmart. Our puppy/doggies come with their vet records of their vaccines, Health contract, Purchase agreement, artificial grass (their doggie toilet), wee wee pad for doggy potty, a blanket, toothbrush, toy/treats, T-shirt/Dress, carrier and about a weeks worth of puppy food.

Do You DNA Your MiKi Dogs?
Yes. All of our dogs and pups are DNA'd. One sure fire way of finding unethical breeders is to ask for PROOF of their Mi-Kis DNA results. Not JUST if they have DNA results, but to actually see them. Don't be surprised if you get every answer under the sun as too why the breeder can not show proof "at this time". The truth is... typically, unethical breeders do not "waste" money on DNA and it is very very rare for a potential customer ask for proof.

There is now a Mi-Ki DNA marker used by MARS Lab's Wisdom Panel. They have DNA markers for over 170 different dog breeds. It shows which dog breeds make up your 'mixed' dog. OR it can verify the breed of your dog and if you really purchased a pure bred Mi-Ki. Please keep in mind that if you are sold a "Mi-Ki" and it turns out to be a 'designer' dog, the heritage test results can not be used in a court of law. Please do your homework before buying a new puppy. Don't allow yourself to be deceived. If the price sounds too good to be true... there's probably a reason for it.

Do You Ship Your Puppies?

We DON"T ship! We DELIVER! We (not a courier) personally hand deliver your puppy to the airport of your choosing. The puppy will fly in the cabin with us and not with the luggage under the plane as they do when they are shipped/cargo. If you are comfortable flying to us, we will meet you at our airport South Bend, IN or Chicago, IL where you can pick up your puppy. Some people choose to do this and use their free MILES to fly. Mi-Kis are just too little/and scared to travel by themselves. It has been my experience with a puppy that was shipped to me; it was scared out of its mind when I received him. I was assured by the breeder that I would be his "savior" and he would be ecstatic to see me etc., Unfortunately, my first and only experience buying a puppy that was 'shipped' was just the opposite and the dog was an emotional mess. Made for a scary three hour drive home for the little guy too. After that, I fly to get puppies and deliver them. I will never ship a dog/puppy.

What Kind of Puppy Food is My Puppy Eating?

I prefer Nutri Source, but we've used Wellness, Ultra-Nutro, Natural Balance, Eagle Pack (Holistic), Halo, Pet Promise, California Natural, Solid Gold, B.G. (Before Grain) and Canidae are a few we've used. We feed our dogs good quality, holistic dog food, in the smallest kibble (for small breeds) that we can find. Some of the foods above are organic which is the best of the best. If you choose to change foods, do it gradually by adding the new kibble to the old, over a seven to ten day period. This will likely prevent any digestive upsets. We “free feed” all of our dogs so they eat whenever they’re hungry. However, after the puppy/dogs adjustment period to its new home, you can change the feeding schedule to 3-4 times a day for puppies and twice a day for adults, if you'd like.

What Kind of Registration Papers Will My Puppy Have?

All of our MiKis are registered with AMRA and are DNA-VIP . This means that we can prove who the parents of each puppy are. Some of our dogs are double registered. They're registered with MCOA and AMRA. We only register with these two registries. We don't register with what we call "generic" MiKi registries like: NCA (National Canine Association), ACA (American Canine Association), CKC (Continental Kennel Club), APRI (American Pet Registry, Inc.) or any other registry that does not require DNA. The generic registries do not have proper checks and balances to keep the unethical breeder from registering their dogs. AMRA, and now MCOA, require DNA to register. AMRA is the ONLY registry that does genetic health screening to verify that each breeding Mi-Ki is not a carrier of over 30+ major health defects. This is how we (So Fine) can give such a great health guarantee on our MiKi pups. We also do this to prove that our dogs are "real, true or genuine" pure bred Mi-Kis, not look-a-likes. Registration papers and pedigrees are given to customers after we receive proof of spay/neutering from your vet, unless other arrangements are made.

What is Hypoglycemia and What Symptoms Should I Watch For?

We at So Fine have never had a problem with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in our dogs or puppies. Many small breed puppies and sometimes adult dogs are prone to Hypoglycemia because of their tiny size and high metabolism. Symptoms to watch for are a limp or lethargic puppy and grayish-blue tongue or gums. If the gums and or tongue are not pink, that's a good indication that you have a probelm. Hypoglycemia can be triggered if your puppy is sick, stressed or isn't eating well. I recommend giving Nutrical or water with Kayro syrup in it immediately. Natural Balance Dog Food (in the Roll) in SMALL increments as a small treat through out the day is a great way to help stimulate your dogs appetite.

Do You Require a Spay/Neuter Contract?

Our puppy prices are quoted as pets only. In this case, we do require a spay/neuter contract. We only sell additions to your family. If you show dogs and would like breeding rights, Our prices are different. Please ask for breedable MiKi prices. I have found from past experience, that I can not tell what kind of a home my puppy will be going to. Therefore, I choose not to take the chance of sending one of my babies to live in any other environment, except as a pet to a loving family. A companion dog should NOT be caged, inside a barn or a shed, or an "Out Building" or any other fancy name one may choose to call it. Mi-Kis NEED people to LOVE them... hence the breed category, COMPANION dog. SO FINE will not risk selling puppies to a pet store, puppy broker, or puppy mill/farm.

We would love to answer any questions you have.
