This is "US"!  We are a mother/daughter team who absolutely fell in love with this beautiful little dog...The Mi-Ki!  We were so taken with this rare toy breed, that we decided everyone should have one...hence, we started our journey into the world of dog breeding.  Oh, could we tell you some comical stories.  It has definitely been an enlightened road full of new concepts, experiences, some sorrows, but most of all, lots of wonderful new people who have adopted our beautiful Mi-Kis and given them a wonderful life, and who have opened up their hearts and homes to us as well.  We have made some wonderful friends and met some absolutely lovely families.

We are Tamara Beebe and Tiffany Wilkerson-Hood.  We were both born in the Midwest, but Tamara has since migrated to warmer climates and has ended up on a beautiful piece of property in Arizona, called Tamden Acres where she shares her life with her husband Dennis, her 5 gorgeous Missouri Fox Trotters, 2 Golden Retrievers (Chance & Bailey), 1 old kitty named Sammy, two parakeets, occasional visits from her 3 children and 5 grandchildren, and her Mi-Kis.  As you can tell by that list, Tamara has a passion and love for animals!  Her life-long dream was to become a veterinarian, but instead she got me!  What a bargain!  I like to call her a professional amateur midwife.  She has helped deliver kittens, foals, calves, puppies, and even grandchildren!

I, on the other hand, have migrated from the warmer climates of Arizona back to my roots in Decatur, Illinois.  What can I say...I love the seasons!  I have a terrific husband, 4 beautiful children, a wonderful step-daughter, and my absolutely wonderful Mi-Kis!  I have really taken an interest in the showing aspect of breeding.  I have enjoyed traveling to the different shows, seeing new places, and of course, exhibiting my Mi-Kis at shows all over the United States.  I have been fortunate in that I have one particular Mi-Ki that has just soared to new heights in the show ring, and that is Majestic Duchess. (seen below)  She is the first ever Mi-Ki to win a Best In Show.  Not only has she won once, but twice,
three times, and alas four times... along with several Reserves, and Best In Show Gold Cups, and many Best In Show Rare Breed.  It has been a ton of fun watching my baby girl accomplish things no Mi-Ki ever has!  I am so proud of her and all of my Mi-Kis.  I look forward to what the future has in store for the wonderful Mi-Ki breed.
