Description
Dog Breed: Alaskan Klee Kai (medium coat). Say hi to Charlie (red) and Buddy (grey). These bonded boys are both estimated to be about 3 yrs old. Their size difference has nothing to do with age- thatâs just their situation. Buddy is a typical husky- opinionated, goofy, full of confidence and a huge fan of attention. Charlie is likely a klee Kai and is full grown at half the size, a bit reserved, gorgeous, patient and happy to let his brother distract while he sizes things up. Charlie also had some injuries around his ears that have been treated and are healing nicely. I got time with them just a couple days after neuter surgery- the reason for the dreaded cones and the crowded space. These 2 are certain to make life an adventure and full of laughter for a lucky family. They are very bonded and flow together like water. Will there be a LOT of fur in your house with them in the family? I canât lie- yes. Very much. But they both loved getting scratches and pets so I feel confident theyâll take well to regular brushing sessions which will help manage the shedding. They also are so danged good looking, a bit of fuzz on all your surfaces can be forgiven.

Breed overview
Alaskan Klee Kai
A.K.A.: Klee Kai, Mini Husky, Alaskan Husky, AKK, Mini Alaskan Husky, Arctic Klee Kai
Overview:
The Alaskan Klee Kai is a captivating spitz-type breed, originating in Alaska during the 1970s, specifically bred to be a smaller companion version of the Siberian Husky. Their most striking feature is their "mini-husky" appearance, boasting a distinct facial mask, erect triangular ears, and a plumed tail that curls over their back. They come in three sizes – toy, miniature, and standard – all sharing a double coat that requires moderate grooming. Temperament-wise, Klee Kai are generally intelligent, agile, and can be quite vocal. While they are loyal and affectionate with their families, they often exhibit a reserved or cautious nature with strangers, making early socialization crucial. Due to their moderate exercise needs and smaller size, they can adapt well to apartment living provided they receive daily walks and mental stimulation. However, their high prey drive means they should always be leashed or in a secure area. Health-wise, they are generally robust but can be prone to conditions like patellar luxation, thyroid issues, and Factor VII deficiency. Their unique blend of beauty, intelligence, and playful spirit makes them a wonderful, albeit sometimes challenging, companion for the right individual or family.
