I was looking for a small sized dog to join our family. Then I came across The COLORADO AKK website, after looking at their information and history about the Klee Kai I was getting excited I found the kind of dog that woud fit my personality and life style. Melissa and I e-mail back and forth, she answered my questions and let us come to her home to see adult dogs and the puppies. I got to hold a puppy that I fell in love with, and eventually got to take her home. Now I take Miki everywhere with me. She loves everyone and is a great companion. She has a big personality and she makes us laugh daily. Melissa and Jason are great and easy to work with. Their dogs and puppies are well taken care of and very much love people.

Working with Melissa and Colorado AKK was more than great. I felt like being with my puppy from the very beginning. I received the first picture of my baby (Blue) when he was just one hour old and I would receive weekly updates with the newest information, pictures and even videos. Melissa was also eager to answer any question I had in no less than a day. But what I thank Melissa for most is that she brought my Blue all the way from Colorado to Fankfurt, Germany. What other breeder would have done that? She also took care of all the needed paperwork and examinations.
When we picked Blue up at the airport he was 8 weeks old, walked pefectly on the leash, well socialized and in perfect health and condition. People that have experience with dogs will know that 8 week old puppies do not walk well on the leash… if they even walk on the leash at all and aren’t to busy chewing it LOL I was just amazed at how well he was already trained! The puppy packet had various information and other things which were very helpful!
I don’t think I could have found a breeder who loves her dogs more and puts so much love into details as Melissa does! She is all about the well-being of her puppies and she helped me find my perfect match! I honestly feel that this puppy was bred just for me.
I’ve had Blue for 3 weeks now. He is a very fast learner and already knows various commands. He loves to meet new people and play with other puppies and children. Two weeks before Blue came we had moved to a new town. He draws so much attention, that the whole town is talking about him and people already know about us before we meet them (“The couple with the beautiful mini-husky“) :)
I honestly can not think of any negative experience with Melissa and Colorado AKK!!! I have had various dogs from different breeders and this one is the best. For the future I’ll only be adopting from Colorado AKK.
Thank you so much for enriching my life with the most perfect match for me!

"Working with Colorado AKK was an awesome experience! Melissa answered all my questions (and I had a lot of them) and was prompt about getting back to me. When the day finally came to go get our little guy she offered many times to meet us halfway, though we turned down the offer I found it very generous. She let us stay at her house for a good 3 hours while we asked more questions, met her dogs and got to know our little boy.
Melissa is an awesome person and I see us working with her again in the future."

"My wife and I are extremely pleased with our AKK, Teeko. He has brought joy and happiness to our lives. Melissa was very helpful in answering all of our questions and allowed us to see all of the pups in Teeko's litter along with his parents. Melissa's quick response to our e-mails was wonderful. Colorado AKK's website plus our interaction with Melissa was instrumental in the purchase of our puppie from them. We couldn't be happier with Teeko. We highly recommend anyone seeking an AKK to start with Colorado AKK of Castle Rock."

"After losing my Siberian Husky who I had for 14+ years, it’s taken me 12 years to be ready for another dog in my life. My Veterinarian has asked me many times when I was getting another pet because I was a good pet owner. I always responded “when they figure out how to make Huskies stay little.” Imagine my delight when I found the AKK. I was in contact with several breeders that are within driving distance for me, and Melissa with Colorado AKK was always quick to respond and willing to answer any questions I had. She made adopting an AKK easy and enjoyable. I was lucky enough to adopt “Pink” from Angie and Kavik’s litter. She is now “Nikita” and loving her new home in Missouri. We drove out to Colorado to pick Nikita up and when Melissa answered the door with Nikita in her arms, it was love at first sight. She was even more beautiful than the pictures. We were able to spend time at Melissa’s home bonding with Nikita before we headed home. Melissa was so great to work with, and her children were a treat. I’m very glad that Nikita was raised around a large, loving family. She is so well adjusted and loves kids. I take her with me everywhere, even work, and she definitely is an attention getter. Everyone loves her and she seems to adapt to new things rather quickly. She has stolen my heart. Thank you Melissa not only for Nikita, but for all you do on the home front while Jason is in Iraq."

"For a while we had been searching for the perfect addition to our breeding program. When we came across Colorado AKK we were impressed by the professional-looking website, and how quickly Melissa responded to us. Her communication with us was impecible, and I can say for certain that you'll find no other breeder more eager to answer questions and offer information. We were astounded by how friendly and accomodating Melissa has been, and still is. The amount of updates and pictures that accompanied them kept us intrigued and excited about our new addition. When we first met Skye, we were impressed with how calm she was, and continues to be. She's very playful, and it's apparent that Melissa has taken great care to ensure that all the puppies who leave her home will be promising companions to their new owners. We surely hope to come back for another addition in the near future. I would highly recommend Melissa and Colorado AKK to anyone looking for an Alaskan Klee Kai."

"I have enjoyed working with Colorado AKK. The trainers are very sensitive to my needs and have done a great job helping me determine the best training method for my dog. I was very pleased with the outcome of Bailey's boarding. I have also been very happy with the flexibility of my training schedule."

"Thanks for helping turn our out of control, super dominant puppy into a wonderfully obedient dog. Without your help he would rule our household. Instead, he is manageable, and a joy to take with us wherever we go. Please feel free to use Panzer as a reference- we love to show him off!"

"I've had my pup, Rugby, for two weeks now and I couldn't be happier. He's become a part of my family and has proven that he can adjust to life in a city apartment. He has his own personality quirks and I take some time every day to train him and, at 10 weeks, he's already got a lot of them down.
He's high energy, but that's what I like. He retains a playful demeanor throughout the day and many people comment that hehas the manurisms of a cat at the moment when he plays with his toys. He's VERY sociable, staying calm but friendly when meeting new people and dogs, never getting nervous or having accidents. My everyday life has changed and I've had to adopt new disciplines, but I couldn't be happier."

"Ever since graduating college, I had my heart set on getting a puppy - a very hard task for someone like me who has to have everything perfect. I searched forever until stumbling upon colorado akk, and knew then- that this is what i had been waiting for. Melissa responded almost in seconds to my inquiry and was very friendly and knowledgeable to the million questions I had for her. She helped ease my fears over the new responsibility I would soon embrace. She had so much knowledge and tips for raising my puppy, and I was able to visit "yellow" several times before I could take him home, before I decided that he would be "Miko", before I knew he would be my new best friend and companion. Every tip, every answer to every question, I can say has helped me raise a perfect puppy. Anyone who meets Miko thinks he is the cutest, most well behaved puppy they have met. I absolutely love him, he is such a great new part of my life. I would highly recommend this breeder to anyone who is interested. Trust me - I have looked around, and this one's the best!"

"We had an extremely positive experience with Colorado AKK. From the moment we sent our application to the moment we picked up little Mika from the airport, Melissa of Colorado AKK provided us with answers to all our questions, all the necessary details and information, and multiple updates that even included photographs. While it took another breeder weeks to return our message, Melissa was always very responsive and ready to answer any questions or diffuse any anxiety. It has been a pleasure working with her, as she proved to be an excellent resource and made adopting a pup from a thousand miles away a simple, manageable task. Mika arrived in excellent health––even cuter than the photographs and ready to play in her new NYC home! We highly recommend Colorado AKK without any hesitation."

"I had so much trouble getting Hector to pay attention and obey commands. I wasn’t sure if I was capable of training him, so I decided it was time for some professional help. I found Colorado AKK online and decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did. Now my dog has manners, he listens and I don’t have to worry anymore when I take him outside."

"Eva loved to chase animals everytime we went for a walk. Colorado AKK helped us! They spent time teaching me how to manage these problems and have a worry free environment for Eva. I did plenty of research on training and feel like Colorado AKK is the best as they’re very patient and quick with results."
