The Alaskan Klee Kai might just be the most adorable breed you’ve never heard of. The breed hails from Alaska, and the name “Klee Kai” is an Inuit term for “little dog” that speaks to their small size. The energetic, smart, vigilant dogs started as a mixed breed cross between Alaskan Huskies with the Schipperke, American Eskimo, or other small Nordic breeds but have since been recognized as a distinct breed. Although first bred in the 1970s, the first puppies of this breed weren’t sold until 1987, making them a very new breed. Alaskan Klee Kais, affectionately referred to as the Mini Husky breed, have gained a lot of fans thanks to their smarts, sass, and oh-so-cute appearance.
