Please note though we had originally hoped to have our first dogs back in July 2012 this was not possible due to unforeseen events and we do not currently have any Klee Kai. Aurora Klee Kai is small home based family breeding program dedicated to breeding the Alaskan Klee kai. Alaskan Klee Kai's are a rare breed of dog, in appearance they are almost identical to the Siberian Husky aside from its s
maller size. At Aurora Klee Kai we are dedicated to breeding healthy purebred dogs. Our aim is to help diversify and promote this wonderful and rare breed while maintaining and improving where possible a healthy and pure bloodline . If you have any questions for us either about the Breed or ourselves please feel free to send us a PM or an email. Klee Kai general Information:
History: The Klee Kai is a fairly new breed of dog first appearing in the 1970's after a lady named Linda. Spurlin noticed the result of an accidental breeding of Siberian Husky and a smaller dog. She then proceeded to develop the breed by crossing the Siberian Husky with two smaller breeds the Schipperke and the American Eskimo dog. The Klee Kai was first recognized by the American Rare Breed Association (ARBA) in 1995, followed by the United Kennel Club (UKC) in 1997. The breed of dog is currently not recognized in Australia therefor all dogs are registered and papers provided by the UKC. Appearance: Although the Alaskan Klee Kai does look remarkably like a small Siberian Husky there are a few notable differences, aside from the obvious one being their size, Klee Kai's have a higher tail set, shorter muzzle and larger ears than their larger companions. They come in three sizes Toy, Miniature, and Standard. There are three color combinations recognized, red and white, grey and white and black and white. Occasionally a full white or full black Klee Kai is born but this is considered to be a disqualification and not recognized by the United Kennel Club (UKC). There are two different acceptable types of coat standard and full length, so long as the full length coat is not long enough that it obscures the outline of the dog. Due to their double layered coat they do require regular grooming a couple of times a week and then daily while they are shedding their coat which happens twice a year. They can have Blue or Brown eyes. Temperament: Klee Kai's are highly curious, intelligent and active. They require regular socialization as they can become quite shy and narky around strangers if not trained correctly, this trait means that they would make a much better guard dog than the Siberian Husky who generally simply love everyone no matter who they are. Like many other Arctic breeds of dog they do have a high prey drive so should not be allowed off leash in an unsecured area, this is because they may take off after something that catches their attention and fail to return at your call, as clearly what they are after is far more interesting than getting told off for running away. They are fantastic dogs if raised around other animals such as cats, how ever they may have difficulties learning to get along with them if introduced later in their life, although committed training can always help them to realize these other creatures are friends to play with or to simply to ignore them. The Alaskan Klee Kai is a pack animal therefor needs to firmly but gently be shown its place in the pack as below the other family members, if properly shown their place they will be happy and eager to please and impress you making an ideal companion.
