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.

I had never had pet health insurance before I took it out for my Norwegian Forest Cat, Sonshine Superstar. He developed liver problems requiring expensive veterinary intervention.
