Dog Breeds - Alaskan Klee Kai

Return to Breed List

The Alaskan Klee Kai, also known as the miniature husky, was developed in Alaska in the 1970’s by Linda Spurlin after an Alaskan husky mated with a small dog. The word “Klee Kai” is a word that means “Small Dog” from the Alaskan Athabaskan language. The breed is a mixture of a Siberian/Alaskan Huskies and an American Eskimo or Schipperke. The result of this mix is a high energy, smart, small dog suitable for apartment living with a beautiful, northern look to it.

Protect Your Pet Today

I just want to thank you for your fast friendly service. Honestly, I was not sure how this whole pet insurance thing was going to work out but I am sure glad that I got it. Recently my puppy had severe digestive bloat from getting into some food. I rushed to the emergency vet and racked up a nice bill of $234.30. Thank goodness that my little "Rosa" was okay. I sent my claim to you and you sent me the cheque in full within a week. I am so glad that I have insurance for both my dogs. Thanks Pethealth I really appreciate it. I tell all my friends that you are the best pet insurance on the market... I have proof!
