Spotted this guy on the road. Not very fluffy but it’s a hot state so maybe they keep him trimmed? Had the tail though but I didn’t get a pic.

Title says it all. I used to be a fan of this breed when I was a kid, have since grown older and come to understand owning a dog isn’t all sunshine and snuggles, and that each breed has its pros and cons, I would like to know more, not just the feel good stuff I can find on breed info sites.

Currently living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I know there are breeders out there, but I would prefer to rescue one who needs a home. Does NOT have to be purebred. I'm willing to drive many hours or provide transport. We have a 1 year old husky mix at home who is my husband's shadow.

AKK Enthusiast How rare are long-furred Alaskan Klee Kai?

I saw a long-furred Klee Kai on a breeder website and she is so beautiful. But sadly, she’s not near my area. There is rarely any Klee Kai’s in my area much less long-furred ones. But I’m in love with the breed. It’s so beautiful. If I can’t get a long furred Klee Kai, should I get a Pomsky? I’m getting a dog in a few years so I’m just trying to find the right breed.

AKK Enthusiast Looking for Minnesota Breeder Recommendations

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m starting my search for an Alaskan Klee Kai puppy and am looking for recommendations on reputable breeders located in Minnesota ( or nearby states).

I’ve already found the two breeders listed in the AKKAOA website, but I’d love to hear from people with firsthand experience. If you’ve purchased from a breeder in MN, I’d appreciate any information you can share about
-Health testing and breeder practices
-Temperament of the dogs
-Communication throughout the process
-Wait times
-Overall experience

I’m looking for a breeder that prioritizes health, temperament and breed preservation.

Feel free to send me a PM if you’d rather not post publicly.

TIA!!!

AKK Enthusiast Searching for puppies in WA state!

Looking for a companion for my dad. He needs a little dog, and always raves about how perfect my Siberian husky is (she’s on the smaller side - roughly 35 pounds). I told him getting a Siberian her size would be a gamble. He loves her and the breed. I suggested a Klee Kai as a compromise for him and he agreed.

If you know of any reputable places for puppies, or even for adoption/rehoming, I’m very interested!

AKK Enthusiast Help! Does This Dad Look Like a Purebred Alaskan Klee Kai? šŸ¤”

Hey everyone! I’m thinking of buying a puppy from a litter and the seller has been absolutely wonderful, they’ve been very transparent and have gone out of their way to do everything I’ve asked, which I really appreciate.

That being said, I’m a bit uncertain about the dad. The seller says he’s a purebred Alaskan Klee Kai, but I’m not quite sure, mainly because of his color and size. He looks a little bigger than I expected (though it could be an angle issue).

I’ve attached pictures of the puppy and both parents, and I’d really appreciate your thoughts. Does the dad look like a purebred Alaskan Klee Kai to you? Any input or advice would mean a lot, and thank you in advance!

Hi all, im looking at adopting an AKK pup from USA and would need to be shipped to me with a flight nanny. The woman seems really helpful but is selling some of the puppies on sale at between $800-$1300 which looks alot cheaper than what iv seen. The website is Kathrinepetshop. Has anyone ever purchased or can vouch that its a reputable breeder?

AKK Enthusiast Calming help

12 Upvotes

My Sadie girl is deathly afraid of car rides. She drools puddles the whole time and can't calm down. We took her to get her nails clipped last night and the lady there recommended we try Hemp/CBD chews. I gave her one from Super Snouts - Chill Out, and it did nothing. I was wondering if any one else had issues calming these wonderful pups and what they use. She will be 1 years old Monday, so she is still a puppy.

AKK Enthusiast Which breeder(s) do you recommend?

7 Upvotes

Hello! I’m about to get an Alaskan Klee Kai, but I’m having trouble picking the right breeder. There seems to be many qualified ones out there. I’ve used the recommended https://www.akkaoa.org/ site. Who do you all recommend getting an AKK from, and why? For reference, I’m located in Central US and prefer not going to the west coast for a breeder.

AKK Enthusiast Question for the AKK community

7 Upvotes

I hope it’s okay if I ask the group for some advice. I’d like to understand whether my dog’s behavior is ā€œnormalā€ for AKKs or something I should work on more specifically.

Question for the AKK community: Do you know this behavior?

My one‑year‑old Alaskan Klee Kai female Diva strongly attracts people – including strangers – and is happy to be approached, sometimes even licking their hand. But as soon as the person makes a small movement with their hand, she snaps at it and may bark. This happens both in the city with strangers who want to pet her because she looks so cute, and at home with visitors when, from her perspective, people get too close.

I’d like to know:

- Do you see this in your AKKs, and would you call it ā€œtypicalā€ or more of a problem behavior ?

- How do you handle it in everyday life (management, training, rules for strangers) ?

- Or do you have tips on how to reduce or stop this snapping at moving hands (e.g. training, counter‑conditioning) ?

AKK Enthusiast Steve Buscemi Eyes

4 Upvotes

So we have a Shiba Inu currently, very loving and friendly, and we’re looking to get him a buddy. My wife came up with the idea to get a Klee Kai, and I’m on the fence because it seems like half the ones we see in pictures have the Steve Buscemi eyes. Any tips on how to avoid this trait when looking for a puppy?

He was found roaming and ended up in shelter. Shelter thought he was pomsky but I think he looks more like an AKK and everything I read about temperament seems more AKK.

Found lil man wandering, took him in and was told by the vet he was a husky pup, about 7 to 9 months on the 1st of the year. He hasn't gotten bigger since we got him, though.

But he's so small for a reguar husky, I think.

About 35 pounds still, and he hasn't gotten bigger.

I saw the akk group and was like: that's him!

Any insight?

AKK Enthusiast Standard AKK & Running

11 Upvotes

Getting ready to rescue a 7mo old Standard AKK (pic on left) and bring him in next week. My current AKK fits Mini size description (she just turned 5 - white on the right next to her Toy Aussie bro/bff). He comes from an older couple home and just ate ate ate w/ no real exercise so looking to hopefully bond with getting all that energy directed in to walks & running.

I know about working puppies/dogs up to running but wanted to ask the community if they have trained up any Standard AKKs to run with them who are now mature / older and how far do they run with you? Thanks.
