| So as I was leaving petsmart last night I saw a pick-up parking and what looked like a husky inside. so being the starker I am I took my time getting to my car and waited until the lady and dog got out to start backing out. it sure looked like a husky but it was so small, I rolled down my window and said is that a husky? she said it was a miniature husky http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_Siberian_Husky
but they are also know as a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaskan_Klee_Kai
I said how cute and drove off. I will say the dog was yappy and hyper like all small dogs and it was only 15 months old. now after reading both descriptions of the 2 different dogs I wonder if the lady knows there is a difference in the 2 breeds and I wonder what one she really had... wish I had ran into her in the store to talk more with her as I have some questions, have any of you had a run in with a miniature of either breed? _________________

| I think my roxy could be a mini as she is only 25 lbs and they started breeding them in my state. Maybe this is why she is so petite  |

| Seems about as pointless as "Giant Malamutes" to me. Definitely not my cup of tea. _________________  |

| I have just read this post and I agree with Tori - we have had this discussion before on another forum. Breeders of these dogs are just people messing around breeding huskies with smaller breeds trying to create another 'designer' breed and charging people a fortune for the puppies. As Harrise said pointless!!! |

FYI - My old boss has one and they're not bread with Huskies... so they're technically not messing with the Husky breed. Much like Miniature Pinschers look like Pinschers, they aren't actually bred with Pinschers either. Miniature Huskies are exactly the same. They're not actually bred with huskies, they're just bred to look like them.

The first paragraph in context tells me enough about the original intentions of creating this "breed"._________________ |

2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
