Ikigai Kennel - Alaskan Klee Kai

Ikigai Kennel - Alaskan klee kai in Murrieta, CA, is based in southwestern Riverside County near San Diego. Sandra Del Rio has bred Alaskan klee kai for several years and maintains membership in the national breed club, following standard health screenings for patellar luxation, cardiology and eye evaluations.

Puppies are raised indoors as part of the family, enjoying daily socialization with children and other pets and graduating from crate training to supervised free play in a secure yard. Breeding adults live on site with balanced nutrition, daily exercise and regular veterinary oversight. Each litter benefits from early exposure to gentle handling, environmental enrichment and basic obedience exercises.

The breeding program emphasizes clear temperament and adaptability, supporting puppies with simple agility challenges and puzzle play. Owners often comment on the calm, confident nature of their Alaskan klee kai as they settle into new homes. Recent puppies have shown potential in regional companion and obedience events.
