While in Miscellaneous Class the club will be working with a Delegate from the Parent Club Delegate Sub-Committee, to gain further understanding of the responsibilities of a Parent Club, and provide mentoring to the club to gain full AKC recognition and membership status with the AKC.  

 

A delegate will also work with the parent club to develop judge education information and documentation, following AKC rules and guidelines.

The Alaskan Klee Kai Club of America has met the Recognition of New Breeds Board Policy requirements, approved in February 2017. Requirements include an active Parent Club, with serious and expanding breeding activity over a wide geographic area and documented club activity.  Staff recommends that the Alaskan Klee Kai be approved to advance to the Miscellaneous Class, effective June 25, 2025.  This will be discussed further at the November Board meeting."
