Alaskan Klee Kai puppies for sale in Prince Edward Island

Breed history

The Alaskan Klee Kai is a relatively new and rare breed developed in the 1970s in Alaska by Linda Spurlin. She aimed to create a companion-sized version of the Alaskan Husky, maintaining the striking appearance and energetic spirit of a northern sled dog in a smaller, more manageable package. By selectively breeding Alaskan Huskies with smaller breeds such as the American Eskimo Dog and Schipperke, Spurlin achieved a compact, intelligent, and alert dog that closely resembles a miniature Siberian Husky. The name "Klee Kai" comes from an Inuit term meaning "small dog." Though not bred for working like their larger relatives, Alaskan Klee Kais are known for their agility, loyalty, and keen awareness, making them excellent companions and watchdogs.
