This temperament is considered undesirable and dogs with this temperament are neutered. Klee kai need a moderate amount of exercise. Because of their intelligence, they can become escape artists. If unhappy, the klee kai can escape through fences. Klee kai have a sense of humor and may play tricks on their owner.
They excel in the sport of dog agility. Klee kai need a large amount of interaction with their owners. They tolerate other dogs well. They are hunters and should be raised together with cats, if their owner is planning on one. The owner should be careful around pet rodents, birds and reptiles, as their husky prey drive is strong. Because they are clever, no pocket pet will be safe from them.
Klee kai make excellent watchdogs, but their size precludes them from being guard dogs. They accept family members and strangers, if introduced by the owner. They are hardy dogs with winter coats, but should not be left outdoors. They need a minimal brushing and combing once a week. Like cats, they are fastidious and keep themselves clean. Klee kai are ideal for owners who want a small, active dog that does not require a large yard and can be content with walks and games of fetch.
Anyone who cannot tolerate dog hair and shedding should consider another breed. Klee kai are long-lived, with claims of 15 to 20 years not unusual. This breed is a recent one, developed in the early s by Linda Spurlin in Wasilla, Alaska. She discovered an undersized Alaskan husky and fell in love with it, deciding it would be the ideal companion.
Starting with this dog, Spurlin bred Alaskan huskies and Siberian huskies to create the klee kai, perhaps adding a schipperke and American Eskimo to obtain a smaller size. In , the United Kennel Club recognized the Alaskan klee kai.
I am not a breeder and he would strictly be a member of our family. Would like a white male. Cost is an issue as I just lost my Siberian Husky to a brain tumor. If I am lucky enough to find a Klee Kai he would have the most enjoyable and loving him. My husband and I are both retired and he would get walks twice a day and he has a fenced in half acre back yard. Thanks for any information you can provide. There are three very reputable breeders on there that you can contact to get yourself one of these dogs.
