Rocky
Mountain Klee Kai is owned and operated by
Black Ice Kennels, LLC -
a high quality, show kennel nestled in the western Rocky Mountains
in Northern Utah. We have bred and shown Champion Siberian
Huskies for years.
Loving all things husky - we first
became interested in the Alaskan Klee Kai breed in 2000. We
fell in love with these precious little huskies right away. It
took a while to obtain our first Alaskan Klee Kai - which we were
fortunate to bring home in 2004. Since that time we have
obtained many more Alaskan Klee Kai puppies.
Rocky Mountain Klee Kai is a member of
the Alaskan Klee Kai Association of America (also referred as AKKAOA).
It is a small canine variety that has captured the hearts of nearly
everyone who has come to know them.
Rocky Mountain Klee Kai is
one of several national breeders who are privileged to bring to the
public this incredibly special breed. Please read through our
website and learn more about the Klee Kai - and thank you for visiting!
Responsible
Ownership of a dog means:
• Making careful choices when deciding which breed is right for
you and your situation.
• Realizing that you will be owning this pet for LIFE, and
dedicating yourself to the life of your dog.
• Putting the effort into proper care of your puppy (proper
veterinary care, vaccinations, de-worming, proper feeding).
• Learning all you can about proper feeding and making healthy
choices (ask your breeder!)
• Investing in proper veterinary health care throughout your
dog's life.
• Training your dog through gentle and humane means to be a good
canine citizen.
• Teaching your children to respect animals and not abuse them
through play.
• Not just breeding your dog because he is "so cute" or "the
kids need to learn about birth and procreation."
• Doing your part to help the pet overpopulation problem by
keeping your intact dog at home and away from other intact
animals, or neutering him or her to prevent future health
issues.
• Teaching fellow humans how to interact with your dog.
• Providing your dog with a family and a home, not just food and
shelter. Dogs are very social, and isolation from the family
will result in an unhappy, and ultimately, unhealthy dog.
Your dog is a lifelong responsibility. Be a responsible pet owner: research
the breed and breeder you are interested in before purchasing,
Provide the best care possible for your pet, spay or neuter, and
make provisions in your will for your pet’s care when you are
gone.
AKKAOA is a nationwide
organization devoted to the promotion and welfare of the Alaskan
Klee Kai (AKK), an Alaskan husky in miniature.
AKKAOA is dedicated to:
promoting and improving
knowledge of the Alaskan Klee Kai and dogs in general;
to do all possible to bring
the natural qualities of the pure-bred Alaskan Klee Kai to
perfection through selective breeding;
to encourage genetic awareness
within the breed by occasionally polling members as to the
problems they may have encountered and publishing a list or
brochure from the information collected giving clinical signs,
methods of diagnosis, age of onset, mode of inheritance and
potential treatments and prognosis when these things are known;
to aid with every possible
means in demonstrating the conspicuous ability of the Alaskan
Klee Kai as a companion;
to encourage the organization
of local Alaskan Klee Kai Clubs in those localities where there
are sufficient fanciers of the breed to meet the requirements of
The United Kennel Club;
to educate members and to urge
breeders to adhere to the standard of the breed as approved by
The United Kennel Club as a standard of excellence by which
Alaskan Klee Kai may be judged;
to encourage sportsmanlike
competition at all dog shows, and dog functions; to conduct
sanctioned matches and shows under the rules of The United
Kennel Club.
The Alaskan Klee Kai
Association of America gained recognition for the breed with the
United Kennel Club (which is the second largest Registry in
America) on January 1, 1997.
