Here are just some of the questions I get asked. Be sure to email me
if you don't see your question answered here.

How long is your wait list?

 

This is a very hard question to answer considering it all depends on Mother Nature and what your preferences are.  You can expect to wait anywhere from 6 months to 2 years or more.


What do I do if I would like to be on your wait list for a puppy?

 

The first step is to fill out my questionairre here: http://www.aurorakennel.com/application.html and email it to me at dhamster@telus.net

How much are your puppies?

 

All my puppies are priced between $1500.00 - $1800.00 USD (there may be exceptions and also is subject to change).

Are your prices in Canadian funds because you live in Canada?

 

My quoted prices are in US Dollars (unless otherwise stated) - I will quote in Canadian dollars on request.


What kind of temperment does the AKK have? Are they good with children, other dogs and cats?

 

The breed trait does tend to be shy. My Alaskan Klee Kai are raised with children, other dogs and cats. They all live very harmoniously together. I think this question really depends on who already lives in your household. I highly recommend that you take your puppy to obedience classes. The more socialization that they have during their younger years the better - for any breed!


Do you ship your dogs? And at what age can you ship puppies?

 

I will considering shipping puppies by plane (I would rather not if it can be avoided) as long as it is a direct flight and I do prefer if you fly with the puppy. Please note that all shipping expenses are the responsibility of the new owner. I will not ship or sell any pup under 8 weeks of age - no exceptions.

How many pups are usually in a litter?

 

Because this is a small breed, a normal litter size is 2 or 3. I have been lucky to have 2, 3 and 4 babies in a litter. To date there was a record breaking litter of 8 puppies at Koddiak Kennels in California.


How big do they get?

 

The AKK have three varieties (toy, miniature and standard) ranging from 10 in. - 17in and can weigh from 7 - 25 pounds. See the UKC Breed Standard for more detailed information.

Do you require a deposit to be on your wait list?

 

No, not to be on the wait list, a completed questionnaire is the first step in getting on my wait list. Once a pup is available that meets your requirements then I require a phone interview and a deposit to hold that pup for you. This gives both of us the opportunity to ask any questions and get to know each other better.
