Description
Alaskan Klee Kai
THE ALASKAN KLEE KAI had its beginnings with the Alaskan Husky, which is a mixture of breeds, most of which are of the Husky type. Linda S. Spurlin, with the help of her family and a few special friends, carefully selected her foundation stock. She mentally developed some breed standards and did not allow dogs into her breeding program if they fell short of her standards. Her foundation stock was chosen for health, structural stability, composition, personality, size, and markings, and was Nordic Breeds, primarily the Alaskan Husky.
The Spurlin family did not share with many people their plans for this unique little dog, as they wanted to be certain of the dogs' physical and mental stability. For fifteen years, they carefully guarded their secret venture and reluctantly, in November of 1988 they opened their registry and their hearts to the public, and allowed others to become involved with the breed.
Linda talked to many Eskimo people trying to find suitable words that would mean "little" or "small dogs". Finding none that sounded like a dog breed, she and some friends took the Eskimo words apart and put them together in different ways, until suddenly the words "KLEE KAI" appeared and it sounded just right. Linda also determined the plural and the singular would be the same, just as the plural of Moose is Moose, and Deer is Deer.
