THE RAREBREEDDOGASSOCIATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The mission of the AmericanRareBreedAssociation is to serve and protect the "RareBreedDog" here in the United States.
To promote and educate the public dogfancier about over 130 or more breeds from around the world that are not now recognized by the major kennel club of the United States, the American Kennel Club.
The breed was developed to create a companion sized version of the Alaskan Husky (though it closely resembles the Siberian), resulting in an energetic, intelligent, apartment-sized dog with an appearance that reflects its northern heritage.
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 a small dog.
The Alaskan Klee Kai was officially recognized by the AmericanRareBreedAssociation (ARBA) in 1995 and by the United Kennel Club (UKC) on January 1, 1997.
