ABOUT TOPAZ

My name is Zena. I run a very small and selective breeding program of Alaskan Klee Kai (AKK), a very unique breed that gives most people the impression of a mini husky. The AKK are a rare breed recognized by the United Kennel Club (UKC) and the American Rare Breed Association (ARBA).

​

TO.P.A.Z. is acronym for Toronto’s (where I'm from) Pikatti (my first Klee Kai) And Zena (me). Just so happens topaz is also my birth stone, making it the perfect name for my program.

​

We are located in Mississauga Ontario, Canada, a suburban city just west of Toronto (in fact, the Toronto International Airport is located in Mississauga). All our resident dogs are indoor house dogs who sleep in our bed, lounge on our sofa, eat off the kids' hands, and “clean” our kitchen floor on occasion. We do not have a "kennel area/facility".

​

The goal of my breeding program is to produce dogs that match the highest desirability criteria in the breed’s written standard with outstanding conformation, complimented with good health, predictable temperament and strong working aptitude, while respecting the original vision of the breed’s heritage and ideals. I’m not breeding to satisfy pet demands.
