Jake the Alaskan Klee Kai
Puppy
Breed: Alaskan Klee Kai
Jake's is officially called an Alaskan Klee Kai which was derived from Alaskan Athabaskan words meaning "small dog". His breed (a mix between a Siberian Husky and a Schipperke) is relatively new, having originated in the early 1970's. Jake lives with us in Chicago and he absolutely loves the snow. We can legitimately say he has a "snow nose" since we can't keep him out of it! He's an integral part of our family and we can't even remember what life was like before him.

I should have a Jake...we live in northern Maine and my Miniature Pincher isn't to crazy over the snow..Jake is a beautiful dog.
Ooooooooooooooh, I love him! I've never heard of this breed but it sure is beautiful. I love that little face and the different colored eyes. So precious. I just want to kiss that nose. How sweet!!!
TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR WORDS!!! I love that he likes snow. We need encouragement to get through winter......these littles ones do the job. :)

JAKE! WHAT a BEAUTY you are little fellow! Oh how I love this photo and the very last one the best...it was so hard to choose between them! The expression on your face in this one; the beautiful eye lashes that are so clearly seen; the sweet little satisfied smile on your precious little face...makes for the most perfect photograph I've ever seen. Mom or Dad or whoever took this photo and all the others has a serious knack for photography!
That being said, may I just add..........
I LOVE YOU JAKE! SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOCHES to you! God Bless you and your loving family. May you have many, many happy and HEALTHY YEARS TOGETHER!

Welcome to Chicago, you adorable little guy! I've never seen anything like you before!!
what a beautiful puppy, ive never heard of this mixture.... I have always loved the blue eyes, but i see he has one brown one as well....it makes you very unique Jake...
Wow-Jake is so beautiful and cute! Everything about him-his piercing blue eyes,the foxlike shape of his face, hi gorgeous markings and fluffy coat...he is just too much! Great breed combination. Wishing you many years of joy and fun in the snow together!
Aww he's so adroable I've never heard of this breed before but now that I've seen him I want to meet one in person!! Too preciuous:)
How in the world are we to pick just one when they are all soooooooo adorable! I have never heard of this breed but he sure is a cutie!!!!!! I will put Jake on my favorites so I can come back to see him often.
He's a standard and the vet thinks he'll get about 20 pounds. But, they can range anywhere from 10 to 30 pounds, I think. Perfect size for Chicago :)
What a precious baby! When I looked at your pictures I noticed it looks like he has a little brown snow angel in between his eyes. Jake is one of the cutest puppies I've ever seen. Many happy years to you.
Awesome! I've heard of these, but never seen one. Jake is way past adorable, but I'm sure you know that.
This is perfection in a beautiful new breed. As a former breeder we try and fail, but then comes s success like Jake. What a beautiful baby boy!!! Isn't he the show stopper? I wish you many years of love and happiness with this little beauty. How do you say LOVE HIM in Alaskan Athabaskan? OXOXOX
how cute is this face?? I'd never heard of this breed before, now I'm doing some research! I'm glad Jake loves the snow he can give those of us here in the midwest a little encouragement to get through winter!
What a precious baby!!!! As I looked at the pictures, it looks like Jake has a little snow angel on his nose in between his eyes. How cute! Hope you have many, many years of love and fun in the snow. XOXO

I am in love with this dog! I have never heard of his breed, but if Jake is any indication, they are adorable! Wow!
What a cutie patootie! I've never heard of this breed. What are their characteristics? Shedding? Temperament? Strong-willed? Size as an adult? Indoor? Outdoor? Oooh! I've got to investigate! Thank you so much for sharing.
Oh, Jake, you gorgeous little baby. You are really longing to get outside in that snow, aren't you? You are so beautiful you leave me breathless. What a fantastic breed of dog. Wow, millions of biscuits and all the love in the world for you.

I was having a lousy morning and then I opened my email for the Daily Puppy and saw Jake! He brought a huge smile to my face so he must be a huge joy to you. He is just adorable. And I've learned about a breed that I was unaware of.
I really believed I had the cutest dog on the planet. I am mistaken. This is by far, the most precious dog I have ever seen!!
Awwww look at Jake, what an adorable fluffy puppy!! Have fun romping in the snow sweet baby. Zillions of hugs and kisses from Rusty and Duckie in Madison, Alabama!!
Jake is sweet, would love to see him grow up. I have never heard of this dog before, thanks for sharing. I think Jake is a beauty!

what a very sweet dog, i have never heard of a Klee Klei before, but they are obviously very sweet!
I've never heard of this breed before, but Jake is so cute, I don't care WHAT breed he is. He has eyes like my Husky/Lab mix.
Jakey is my Grandson (grandpup) and he is more precious than his pictures. He came into our lives at a very sad time, but gave us so many smiles and joy. He can sleep in our bed with his Aunt Macie and Uncle Rudi anytime we puppysit even though they are both a little jealous of him. We just wish he didn't live so far away. We miss you Jakey Pooh. Lots of bones and kisses. Love, Granny M.
WHat a precious baby you are, Jake! I never heard of the breed before, but I can definitely see why folks would love them!
What a handsome boy!!! Klee Kai, I'll have to remember this breed. Thanks for sharing...Best wishes!
Jake is so adorable. He looks like he can be a lot of fun too. Enjoy each other for a very long long time. Love those eyes too.
Jake is picture perfect, thats the only way to describe him. A beautiful pup. Check out my babies to. Rose Bud Willie and Sugar Bugar.
Jake is adorable. But I'm curious as to what breeder you had gone to that told you the breed was a mix of Siberian Husky and Schipperke? I am very familiar with the breed and its breeders myself, and this information is slightly less than correct. The Klee Kai breed was bred down almost completely from the Alaskan Husky, very very few Siberians or other breeds were used in stock at all.
You could very well be correct. His papers show he is a full-bred Alaskan Klee Kai. I just found extra information regarding this breed on Wikipedia, which we all know is a compilation of other peoples' knowledge (whether correct or not).
History of Alaskan Klee Kai (according to Wikipedia):
The breed was developed in Wasilla, Alaska during the mid-1970s by Linda S. Spurlin after she observed the result of an accidental mating of an Alaskan Husky and an unknown small dog. The breed was developed with Siberian and Alaskan Huskies using Schipperke and American Eskimo Dog to bring down the size without dwarfism. She bred these dogs in private until she released them to the general public in 1988. Originally called the "Klee Kai", the breed split into "Alaskan Klee Kai" and "Klee Kai" for political reasons in 1995. The breed consolidated under the new name in 2002. The Alaskan Klee Kai was officially recognized by the American Rare Breed Association (ARBA) in 1995 and by the United Kennel Club (UKC) on January 1, 1997.
This has GOT to be one of the most adorable pups I have seen....she is adorable! Please take good good care of her and give her lots and lots of love..the rewardswill doublefold with this one...I want one too!!
Adorable puppy; he looks like he has a lot of fun. Wishing you all many happy years together.
I am in love with Jake. He would love it here in Alberta running along the ski trail with us and our Bennie who has the heart of a Husky in a 6 pound body. They would be buddies. Where do you get this breed?
Jake what handsome little man you are, it would be impossible not to love that face. Lots of love and snow romps for you!
Well look at you! You really do have an angel between your eyes.I bet you are an angel to the people who love you.Happy long life to you sweet boy! And much snow!
So adorable! His eyes make him so unique and beautiful!! Hugs and kisses for Jake and may u have many happy years with him!!!
jake - how can all of your pictures be so very cute - you are a handsome little guy - and a very special breed of dog - a mini husky!! i know your human parents are so proud and happy to have you - you are an awesome puppy! lots of biscuits and snow your way and also belly rubs when you need to settle down!! kisses to you xxxooo
What a beautiful little guy! Are his eyes different colors, or is it just the camera angles? I just love Siberians, and he sure has that look. May you have many happy healthy years with this little angel! Sending him virtual nose kisses and a boatload of biscuits!
"Happy Holidays!!!" What a sweetie! Give him belly rubs!!! LOTS of them! (And let him play in the snow please. For me=D)
