What breed of dog looks like a miniature (chuawua) size Husky?

Question

I saw the CUTEST dog yesterday that looks almost exactly like a sled dog/husky but is small and has the same build like a chiuawua. Anyone know what this breed is called?

Answer 1

The are called an Alaskan Klee Kai. They are pretty rare, but they seem to be getting more popular.

Answer 2

She was more right than you think. The Toy FoxTerrier was created by breeding the Smooth Fox Terrier with Chihuahuas, Miniature Pinscher and Italian Greyhounds. Of course after putting all these breeds in the mix, the initial breeders kept at it long enough to 'fix type' and thereby created a new breed, something the hybrid people are NOT doing. But still, look at any purebred and if you look back far enough you'll find mutts. Because breeds originate from mixing other breeds or extreme selective breeding within a parent breed you will ALWAYS have situations where to the untrained eye breed X will be mistaken for breed Y. And sometimes this applies to the trained eye as well. Who by sight alone can tell the difference between a Toy Manchester Terrier and a Miniature Pinscher? Even expert dog judges struggle with this! (especially with examples that don't conform well to breed standards)

Answer 3

Maybe:
American Eskimo
Pomeranian
Long-Haired Chihuahua

Answer 4

I think its the Klee Kai. They look justlike mini Huskys.

Answer 5

Possibly a Shiba Inu? http://www.akc.org/breeds/shiba_inu/index.cfm

This is the closest match to what you are describing, I believe.

Answer 6

Its pronounced skipper key but is spelled all one word and it's late enough that i am not motivated to look up the correct spelling.

Answer 7

A Pommarainian probably.

Answer 8

I think its called a Swedish Vallhund

Answer 9

You might be thinking of the "American Eskimo" breed.

Answer 10

sound like you are talking about a Mini Great Dane, they are so cute
