WELCOME!

The Chinook Club of America encourages and promotes the owning, breeding and training of purebred Chinooks while striving to enhance their natural qualities. 

​Please tour the CCA website to learn more about our amazing Chinook dogs!
Scroll down this page for current club news.
​
​
The Chinook is an all-purpose working dog:  a sled dog that succeeds on the trail as well as at home as a treasured member of the family.  Chinooks are affectionate and playful. They are easy to train with positive methods.  Our dogs compete in AKC events, participating in conformation, obedience, rally, coursing, agility, tracking, nose work, therapy work, tricks, barn hunt and more.  There are several AKC Breed Champions of record. 

Chinooks can be sweet and laid back, but also have energy to burn and thrive with some type of job. They love playing with children and Chinooks excel at all types of outdoor activities including hiking, jogging, biking,  backpacking, sledding, skijoring, scootering, camping, swimming and boating.

 Whether running in teams down a snowy trail, earning breed and obedience titles, flying through an agility course, hiking up a mountain, or snuggling on the couch with a much-adored child - Chinooks are the ideal canine companion!
​​
​
The Chinook Club of America welcomes new members who have a desire to support the purebred Chinook and the AKC.  Visit our Membership Page for information on how to join our Club.

For information on current and upcoming litters
 and opportunities to meet a Chinook
please contact any of the CCA Chinook Breeder and Stud Dog participants on our website and check out our Meet a Chinook page with our Chinook Greeters' Map.
