The Chinook Club of America (CCA) is a dynamic AKC Parent Club, supporting the Chinook Breed. Founded by Chinook owners and breeders who had the motivation and the ability to meet certain goals, objectives, and AKC requirements, it takes Chinook owners like you to ensure that a healthy and long-lived Breed is carried forward into the future.
CCA is looking for participation, new members and volunteers who love the Chinook Breed and who wish to see the Chinook thrive so our children's children may enjoy the love and joy of living with this amazing breed!

Membership Benefits
American Kennel Club Recognition
Through the efforts of CCA members, Chinooks became eligible to compete in the AKC Working Group on January 1, 2013. AKC clubs across the country offer shows, trials and tests for Chinooks to participate in addition to Meet the Breeds and Responsible Dog Owner Day. AKC has risen to the challenge of Covid and created opportunities to earn titles at home! While some members of the CCA are active in AKC activities, there are other Chinook owners that may be new to the world of AKC. CCA encourages and mentors involvement, education and the participation in fun and educational dog events and activities for our members.
The Chinook Standard
The Chinook Club of America drafted the AKC Standard for the Chinook. CCA works to educate Chinook owners, breeders and judges alike on the Standard as the blueprint description for the ultimate Chinook.
Registration
The Chinook Club of America encourages AKC registration for all Chinooks. The Club has designed a owner /new registrant flyer that is distributed by AKC with each new registration certificate.
Membership Diversity
CCA recognizes the importance of a wide variety of background experiences and interests in the leadership positions of the Breed Club as well as for all Club Members who wish to help. Diversity adds a wealth of experiences for a Club to draw upon to promote and further the Breed. CCA invites members who want to help on committees to join members in promoting a strong, sound future for the Chinook Breed.
Activities
CCA provides support and education for those members who have an interest in participating in the many diverse AKC events. There are events for members with spayed, neutered and senior Chinooks to participate. Because Chinooks live in many different areas of the country, CCA fosters and encourages a variety of gatherings such as supported Breed entries and trialing opportunities in different geographic areas. We provide a supportive atmosphere for Chinook owners to come together to share information, seek assistance, and meet each other just to have fun.
