AKKCOA

The Alaskan Klee Kai Club of America was 

founded in 2002 as a volunteer,

nonprofit organization to help guide and

educate owners, breeders, exhibitors, enthusiasts, judges, and the general public

about the breed, their history, and their future. 

 

The purpose of AKKCOA  is to encourage, promote, protect, and preserve the highest standards in improving the pure-bred Alaskan Klee Kai  to

the breed developer's original vision of the

best of the best for appearance, soundness,
