Mini - Huskies

[critter crazy]

Here is what I found, it is a diferent type of breed. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/alaskankleekai.htm

Mini-Huskies sound like selling gimmicks, IMO. That breeder, however, does not seem reputable in any way, so that may be part of why I hold miniature huskies in such bad light.

AKKs, on the other hand, are trying to become a legitimate breed from the breeders/handlers I've talked to, and I don't have terrible qualms with them.

I've not heard of miniature siberians before. After looking at the sites, it does look like the mini-sibes come from pure siberian lines.

I've read a bit about the Klee-Klai. The site for the Alaskan Klee-Klai states that they have both Alaskan husky (which is not a true breed, it's a term used to describe any mixed-breed sled dog), and Siberian husky, along with a little American Eskimo. (Yesterday I read they also have some Schipperke in them)

I think you can see the mixed breed influence in the Klee-Kai pretty easily. Some of them look more like Pomeranians than huskies. (nothing wrong with that, just a different look)

The mini-sibes definitely look more like Siberians. Too bad they only have 1 pic of an adult. I think it's kind of weird that there is only 1 breeder of minis, which makes it sound like a marketing gimmick. (the puppies are $1,250 for a mini)

That site made me a little ill. There's no such thing as a minature husky. The "breeder" is simply trying to make a buck. Just being registered with the UCKC is a huge tip off--it's not a registry a reputable breeder would use! No legitimate registry would accept these dogs. (I'm assuming the site meant the Universal Kennel Club, which registers designer dogs and hybrids, not the UKC which is a legit group) Like there aren't enough huskies in rescue already! The last thing the husky world needs is a bunch of tiny ones running around.

The Klee Klai is a little different. Those breeders are trying to get recognition through the right channels as a breed. They are also very clear that their dogs are NOT minature Siberians. The Klee Klai has a completely different temperment than a Sibe. Most of them look husky-ish, but they act like nothing like them.
