The Alaskan Klee Kai is a northern
breed of
dog in the
spitz family. The
term "Klee Kai" was derived from Eskimo words
meaning "Small Dog". The
breed was
developed to create a companion sized version of the
Siberian Husky, resulting in an energetic, intelligent, apartment-sized
dog with an
appearance that reflects it's northern heritage.
History
The breed was developed in
Wasilla, Alaska during the mid-1970s by Linda S. Spurlin after she observed
the result of an accidental mating of an Alaskan Husky and a small dog. The
breed was developed with
Siberian and
Alaskan Huskies using
Schipperke
and
American Eskimo Dog to bring down the size without dwarfism. Originally
called the "Klee Kai," the breed split into "Alaskan Klee Kai" and "Klee Kai"
for political reasons in 1995. The breed consolidated under the new name in
2002.
