About Us
We have been, long-time breeders of Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Klee Kai. Since Jim's passing, I am enjoying my retirement years living here in the Adirondack Mountains of New York in Schroon Lake Village.
"DOGS" have been and remained my hobby for over fifty plus years! Northern Breed Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. The miniature husky, known as the Alaskan Klee Kai (AKK) is a perfect breed for me in my "Senior Years".
We have been proud of our accomplishments with both the Siberian Husky (which we no longer breed) and the Alaskan Klee Kai which you can read about on our "historical" site: www.helderberg-huskies.com
