Like all Huskies, the klee kai has a double coat. The klee kai is assessed at eight months old and spayed or neutered if the dog has any disqualifying faults. They generally weigh between 10 and 20 pounds (four to nine kilograms), depending on size.
The klee kai comes in three sizes: standard, over 15 inches up to and including 17 inches miniature, over 13 inches up to and including 15 inches and toy, up to 13 inches.
The Alaskan Klee Kai resembles its foundation breed, the Alaskan Husky, in miniature.
