Default Alaskan Klee Kai or Husky

I've been looking into a 4th dog to join our 2 Malamutes and GSDxHusky. I was first thinking of a pure Husky. However, size may be a factor. To be totally honest, I dont trip over the 3 dogs now, but I'm not sure how much room a 4th would take up as we only have a small house.

Anyway, I've been looking at the Alaskan Klee Kai, and think that they are pretty cute. I understand that the KC don't recignise them as a breed yet, so they are little to no help finding anyone breeding them (I also understand that they are about as rare as hens teeth at the moment).
So, anyone know of anywhere breeding them at the moment??

Or, should I bite the bullet and go for a proper Husky?

Either way it's going to take some serious thinking before we decide to have another dog.

in everyones opinion, how much room is "not enough" for an extra dog. As I said, I dont trip over my 3 at the moment, but I dont have a particularly big house...

i have 5 dogs and live in a 3 bed terraced house and have no probs lol

with which one i would say husky............klee kia are just dwarf versions of huskies experiments thats why they aint recognised by the KC

i dont really know much about them but never heard anything good about them either they are hard to come across because there is no demand for them really

I know there were a pair for sale on epuz for nearly a year dunno what happened with them in the end like

but im biased anyways lol cos i am a husky owner

the RSPCA inspector that came out to me said they dont need all the space in the world as long as all of their requirements are met eg.......walking, food, roof over their heads and lots of love and affection

well, our "house" is a converted ex-army barraks. 2 floors, no loft space.
2 bedrooms, large lounge, fair sized kitchen.
Fair sized garden, with 20 something achers of (secured privatly owned) land for them to all play in.
I dont think we'd be able to house more than 4, but I think a 4th wouldn't be a problem.
The only problems we have at the moment is that the electricians still arn't done with the wiring, so we can't bury the cables, so the dogs can't be let in the garden unless they are on leeds, however, this shouldn't last too much longer.
and the other thing is that our rescue GSDxidiot wasn't house broken when we had her at 6 months, and now at 10 months, she's only just getting there.


BTW, Emma, you're prob the best one to ask what with your little one. How do the adults get on with the little pup, ours are so energetic, I'm actually worried they'd hurt it.
