About the Breed

The Alaskan Klee Kai were developed in Alaskan by Linda Spurlin and her family. Spurlin worked for nearly 20 years in order to reach their expectations for the breed before making them available to the public in 1988.

The Alaskan Klee Kai are, in essence, a lap-sized version of their northern ancestors. There are three varieties; Toy, Miniature, & Standard. The Toy measures up to 13 inches at the withers; the Miniature is over 13, up to and including 15; the Standard is over 15, up to and including 17 ½. On average, the AKK weigh approximately 10 – 20 pounds.

The AKK tend to be very reserved and have a hard time warming up to strangers. Because of this, it is HIGHLY recommended that they are exposed to many different every day circumstances from a young age. If you’re interested in the puppy but don’t have at least an hour a day to devote to exposing your little one to new experiences, this breed may not be the one for you.

"The AKK has a high energy level and, due to its heavy double coat, sheds continuously and “blows” coat twice a year.  Therefore an AKK may not be an ideal choice for everyone.  However, if in an appropriate home, the AKK can be a wonderful and loving companion.  Because of their size, these dogs can live in an apartment, but a home with at least a small, well-fenced yard is recommended. They should be exercised regularly, however, they are not as dependent on exercise as their larger relatives."
