Discovering Miniature Husky Puppies For Sale

By Kerri Stout


A mini Husky is a mix of several different breeds. An Alaskan husky and small mixed breed dogs are often bred to create this new breed. The miniature aspect of the husky and other breeds was first developed in 1970s. Today, individuals can find miniature husky puppies for sale or adoption. Originally, the mix was an accident until it found popularity for the blend of Alaskan and Siberian Husky, an American Eskimo dog and small breeds.

According to Kennel club guidelines, the Alaskan Klee Kai has been a full blooded breed for quite some time. The breed is also known as the miniature or mini husky. Just because the breed is smaller than traditional Alaskan or Siberian huskies does not mean these will not become strong dogs.

There are toy, miniature and standard sizes when it comes to mini huskies. These dogs can weigh anywhere from 5 lbs to 25 lbs depending on size. Owners may want to consider which size will work best with living arrangements and any other animals or children in the home.

Heights can range anywhere from 13 inches for a toy to 17 or 18 inches for standard size. Most often the size of height and weight is proportionate when it comes to the breed. As these are also strong dogs, it is often recommended that owners use a harness rather than a standard leash for better control.

The breed hosts a beautiful thick double coat. The coat provides the full furred appearance for which huskies have become known. If planning on showing a miniature husky, it is important to note that if the fur hides the physique of the dog, the dog will be disqualified. As such, it is important to prepare a dog's fur well ahead of showtime.

Also, when it comes to socialization of a husky, full or miniature, it is important to do so as soon as a puppy or dog is brought into the home. Depending on the behavior and temper of animals and babies, toddlers or other children, these dogs may or may not do well integrating. As such, it is often advised that families spend time both one on one and together with any new pet so as all can bond together as a growing family.

When not socialized from a young age, the natural instinct of huskies is to hunt and kill prey. The breed does not do well small animals or children. The antics of babies and toddlers, along with the noise, can often be too much for some. As such, it is recommended that when children are in the home to wait until about age five before introducing a mini husky into the environment.

While a shy breed, it is one that is also quite active. Beyond wanting to follow owners most everywhere, the breed also needs a great deal of exercise. As running is often a preferred activity, dog parks can be a great option. It should be noted that the breed can at times be anti-social and may have a hard time warming up to strangers and unfamiliar situations. As such, when at a dog park or other public venue, its important to keep an eye on pets at all times whether on leash, or off.

When it comes to use as a watchdog, huskies have been known to be some of the best watchdogs in the world. The breed is also loyal and alert. These dogs do need a lot of activity and exercise to stay fit and in shape. Without this activity, the breed can often become quite high strung, even if only in playtime.
