My First Alaskan Klee Kai,  were Champion  'PR' Jive Rhythm Rocks
and
 Grand Champion 'PR' Widdershin's Toe Tapping Tempo

In 1999 I went to a dog show and saw what appeared to me to be a five month old Siberian Husky.  I asked the owner if I could pet her and he said yes.  I reached out for her to pet her and asked if she was what about five??  Meaning five months old, before I could get the word months out... He said "Yes, She is five years old"  I was flabbergasted.  As a long time breeder of Siberian Huskies, and many time having to reject what would have been otherwise a good family for a pet; with the concept of, If only there was Apartment size huskies....I found an apartment size husky.  I went straight home and got on the internet..  I had to find out more about these little jewels.  After getting a lot of info, Getting rid of most of my huskies, and getting answers from some breeders and always an excuse from others, On Thanksgiving Day, 2002 I received my first darlings.  Carol Din brought them to me from New Jersey where they were born at Widdershin Estates.  I had to hold them very tight to get them to stay there.  They didn't know me.

Tempo was a few days over a year old and Rhythm was 9 months old.  I loved them.  They were not too sure about me.  When their Grandma left them with me( I thought she never would, that she was going to change her mind and take them home with her.) They had to be chased down and caught to be touched.  Oh MY!  I thought that they must hate me.  They ran together, but didn't want me messing with them.  On Christmas Day, Ms. Tempo finally came to me and let me pet her..  She sat at the end of my bed and if I stretched a little and didn't get to close, She suffered me to touch her fur.  Then on New Years Day, they both allowed me to touch them.  WOW..  Slowly but surely they then came around.  I still have liver treats in my bedroom for them. 

They finally did come around, and there is more to the bonding on the memorial page about Rhythm.  I think if they would not have had each other whom they were already bonded it would have made a big difference.  But they did..  and We still bonded.  I would never recommend getting two dogs that were used to being together to anyone else for just this reason.  It takes much patience.

On April 20, 2003, they blessed me and Carol & Frank Din with a pair of daughters.  One Black and White brown eyed beauty and one history making Red and White Blue eyed darling.  I expect both of them to Wow judges and guests alike.   It is my guess that they are the most photographed litter of puppies ever.  Both puppies appear at this time to be an excellent representation of their breed, But Psalm seems to get more attention where ever she goes just because of her color.  

I have learned that these dogs are not at all like Siberian huskies although the appearance is close.  They are still little huskies indeed, but they will not go off with strangers like their larger cousins.  You cannot hook up the wagon to them to take the thieves stuff to their truck.  If you are not THEIR human, they are not likely to just freely come up to you.  You would have a hard time catching them if they are not yours, where as their owners can stoop down and call them and they will come running.  Siberians are not near as fiercely loyal as this breed is.  They are more skittish, but I like the difference between the breeds.  Any one who has had a dog of a gregarious breed stolen from them can truly appreciate a pet that doesn't want strangers messing with them.  As I sit her typing this, Tempo sits beside me.  If I go to the other room she will follow and will do so all day long.  She is mine and I am hers.
