#4. "The nose is medium in size and flat on top with wide nostrils, never pinched. Generally the nose s black but can be self-colored on brown or lighter coated dogs."
#5. "The ears are VERY MOBILE! The Mi-Ki ears can be carried erect or dropped. Both ears types are capable of "winging" their ears when extremely excited. Both ears must be either erect or dropped. All ears must be feathered."
#6. "The neck is of medium length, and should never appear short or thick."

#14. "There are two coat types: smooth and long. The Smooth Coat lies close to the body and skull with no presence of a beard or mustache on the face, and has short fringing on the ears and on both the front and the rear legs and on the tail. The Long-Coated MI-Ki may have a beard and mustache and must have a neatly shaved head. All colors are acceptable, including Dilute Colors. Solid colors are rare and highly prized. The gait should be light and smooth with a free flowing action and when viewed from the front or rear it should be straight and true. The general appearance should be one of elegance, grace, with long silky non-shedding hair."
