Meet Mikado - which in Japanese means "Emperor". He was born on Nov. 18, 2001 weighing in at 4 ounces. We purchased him from breeder Faith Milton who breeds under the kennel name "Huang Kung". We picked Mikado up when he was ten weeks old on January 26, 2002. At that time he weighed 1.6 pounds.

He's been a true blessing from God who has brought us much joy.
