ABOUT
Minihuskies started as a family passion and remains that...
Miniature Siberian Huskies were originally developed by Bree Normandin in 2004. The intention was to develop a breed that maintained the Siberian Husky appearance and temperament but in a much smaller size. One could say that the Miniature Siberian Husky was the original Pomsky as Pomskies were first recorded in 2009. The main difference between the two is that the Miniature Siberian Husky lines include German Spitz and American Eskimo in lieu of Pomeranian (these breeds are now recognized as acceptable breeds in the Pomsky program). Now, that the developer has retired, their development continues under the watchful eye of her family. Our family works diligently as hobby breeders to produce quality Miniature Siberian Husky puppies. Our program wants to stay true to the Siberian Husky temperament and appearance. As hobby breeders, production of puppies is on a limited basis. This is why we maintain an active waiting list of puppy homes.
The puppies are raised underfoot in Western North Carolina. There are no kennels, the miniature huskies enjoy having the typical life of a family dog. Because of this, the dogs are socialized with small children and other pets. Our family maintains a commitment to producing sound puppies that are healthy and happy members of their new families.
Minihuskies is a network of breeders who value small-scale, pet-centered breeding. Our goal is to treat our breeding pets as family companions and with the dignity all life deserves.
The Miniature Siberian Husky averages between 15-30lbs. The Miniature Siberian Huskies generally retain the same disposition as their larger counterparts. They are known for their friendly, outgoing, and social personalities. They are intelligent, energetic, and have a playful nature. Mini Huskies are typically good with families, including children and other pets, although proper socialization is essential. The color variations are typical of the standard Siberian Husky, with the coat lengths varying between short and mid-length (similar to a Pomsky but not as fluffy). The Miniature Siberian Husky breeding program was selective and includes Siberian Husky, German Spits, and American Eskimo. Including at least three breeds is important to reducing genetic problems.

Pomskies typically range in size from small to medium, with variations depending on the size of the Pomeranian and Husky parents. On average, they weigh between 10 to 30 pounds (4.5 to 13.5 kilograms) and stand around 10 to 15 inches (25 to 38 centimeters) tall at the shoulder. Pomskies can vary in appearance, with some resembling miniature Huskies and others leaning more towards the Pomeranian side. They are known for their fluffy coats, expressive faces, and energetic personalities. Later generations usually have less variation in size.

The Alaskan Klee Kai was developed by Linda Spurlin in the 1970s in Alaska. The breed was created by selectively breeding Siberian Huskies to create a smaller version of the breed. Spurlin also introduced American Eskimo Dog and Schipperke bloodlines to further downsize the breed while maintaining its Husky-like appearance. Alaskan Klee Kais come in three size categories: Toy, Miniature, and Standard. The Toy size stands between 13 to 15 inches (33 to 38 centimeters) tall, the Miniature size stands between 13 to 15 inches (33 to 38 centimeters) tall, and the Standard size stands between 15 to 17 inches (38 to 43 centimeters) tall at the shoulder. They typically weigh between 10 to 20 pounds (4.5 to 9 kilograms), with the Toy size being smaller and the Standard size being larger.

TESTIMONIALS
What people are saying
MinKi has turned out to be a very sweet, very active and goofy boy. He's not been super easy to train (but what husky is...) yet I still think I will be able to get him CGC certified since he can be so attentive at times. His markings are very handsome as well. He has turned out to be a chestnut-brown little guy with hazel eyes. He will probably be close to 30 lbs (24 lbs at 6 months old).
