IMR Breeders Code of Ethics
All Breeders are obligated to join the International Mi-Ki Registry’s Breeders Alliance. The purpose of the IMR Breeders Alliance is to seek to improve the Mi-Ki breed with every litter. Breeders must be dedicated to the betterment of the breed. To reach this goal, Breeders must continually learn about the Mi-Ki, including health and genetic concerns, appearance, type and temperament. Mi-Ki Breeders also need to know about general dog behavior, training and health care to be knowledgeable of the canine species.

1.As a responsible Breeder I will honestly evaluate my Mi-Ki’s good and bad points.

If I am in doubt about a UKC approved stud or bitch I will consult with the IMR Board of Directors to utilize their extensive knowledge of the breeding database and take into consideration their recommendations.
