Well....I guess I'll start out with a copy of the breed standard, which pretty much covers the "look" of a Klee Kai Breed Standard (http://itsmydog.com/cgi-bin/itsmy/go.exe?page=10&domain=7&webdir=akkinmd).
Personality:
All of our dogs have different personalities. Some are absolute angels, while others need a little more looking after. I guess it really depends on how you bring a Klee Kai up. Just like any other dog, if you start from the begining telling your pup what is right and what's wrong you won't have a problem with training...but if you wait, you will deffinetly incounter problems. I personally think an AKK would be a great dog for children, they love to sit in a child's lap and cuddle with them...but then they are suckers for belly rubs!
Activity:
Klee Kai are VERY active dogs. They would run around in the backyard for hours if allowed. They also love it when their "mommy and daddy" run with them. We currently have 8 AKK, and out of those, 4 can be trusted off leash to run. I wouldn't recomend it with the breed, unless your totaly sure the dog won't go anywhere. We had a couple scares with one of our boys, but thats another story!
Diet/Health Issues:
While Klee Kai are known to be very healthy dogs, there are some out there who have health problems. The main health problem in the AKK breed is pancreatitus, sp, which can put them in intensive care for a couple days.
Recomended food for an AKK would be Merrik, Cloud Star, Bil-Jac, or Eagle Pak
I know I'm leaving out some stuff, but it's outside time for the doggies...Be sure to let me know of any questions, I would be happy to answer them!
