The Alaskan Klee Kai is a compact, energetic breed that closely resembles a miniature version of the Alaskan Husky. Developed in the 1970s to be a smaller companion dog with the look of a sled dog, the Klee Kai has a striking appearance with a thick double coat, erect ears, and expressive blue or multicolored eyes. Their size typically ranges from 13 to 17 inches in height, making them ideal for those seeking a smaller dog with a rugged look. Klee Kais are known for their intelligence, agility, and playful temperament. They are highly active and require regular exercise to stay healthy and happy. Their keen and alert nature makes them excellent watchdogs, though they may be reserved with strangers. Despite their independent streak, Klee Kais are loyal and affectionate with their families. Proper training and socialization are essential to manage their strong-willed personalities and ensure they thrive as well-rounded companions.
