Miniature Alaskan Husky (Klee Kai) Breed History

Description

The Klee Kai was bred down from Siberian and Alaskan Huskies, along with the help of a Schipperke and American Eskimo to downsize without dwarfism. As such you will find the same characteristics as are found in the huskies. They are curious, tenacious, extremely strong for their size, crafty hunters and escape artists. The Klee Kai is a very energetic dog; however, not the typically “hyper” little dog. They are beautiful and proud. The name “Klee Kai” is derived from Eskimo words meaning “small dog”. There are approximately 500 of these dogs in existence in the world.

The Elusive Miniature Siberian Husky

I’ve had an interest in Siberian Huskies since 1994 and I’ve read whatever I could get my hands on, about Huskies, throughout the years. Much to my surprise, I have not heard of miniature Siberian Huskies until the Spring of 2005. I do not have any books on Miniature Siberian Huskies and unfortunately I was not able to find much information online either.

I found only one site, Picture of a cute gray Miniature Siberian Huskyminihuskies.net, owned by miniature Siberian Husky breeders. In their brief frequently asked questions section, they state their puppies are indeed a miniature version of the Siberian Husky breed, and are not related to the Alaskan Klee Kai breed. Now you might wonder, what exactly is an Alaskan Klee Kai?
