Ask anyone who has met Nuka and the description tends to be the same: tries everything, loves everyone, and makes it look easy.
As an Alaskan Klee Kai
She is one of the most versatile dogs you could hope to come across, endlessly willing to turn her paw to something new, with more than a touch of the clown about her, the happiest presence in any room. Her travels have taken her across Europe, to the USA, and on to Canada, and at home she has proved every bit as remarkable as a mother, raising two litters here at Louvel Canines.
​
It was on one of those American trips that she completed her champion showing title, becoming the first UK-bred Alaskan Klee Kai to earn that title on American soil, a genuine landmark for the breed on both sides of the Atlantic. Nuka collects firsts the way other dogs collect tennis balls: the first Alaskan Klee Kai trick dog champion, and the UK's first-ever gluten detection canine.

Team Truffle Hunter
Nuka is believed to be the world's first truffle-hunting Alaskan Klee Kai, and she remains our first and one of our most successful truffle hunters to this day. She has never, not once, been wrong, and seems to know within moments of arriving at a location whether an area holds truffles or not.
​
What sets her apart is the sheer dedication. She is meticulous, endlessly focused, and there is no switching her off once she is on the job. If the humans around her are taking too long deciding on a plan, she has been known to simply go and fetch one herself. Who needs a plan when you have a Nuka?!
