HEIGHT & WEIGHT

The Alaskan Klee Kai is intended to remain a small to medium-sized dog. Height is measured from the withers to the ground. An Alaskan Klee Kai should not appear heavy or too thin. Weight should be proportionate to height.

We have been noticing a lot more “cart-type” dogs with heavy bone and long coats in the show ring, and we caution breeders to maintain moderate bone and agility, which is the heritage of Alaska Husky sled dogs.
