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!

11/2022: AKC Open Registration for Chinooks Continues!
Chinook Club of America Board of Directors petitioned the American Kennel Club (AKC) to keep the open registration program for Chinooks available for two more years. Board Member and Registrar Shelly Londer has volunteered to run the extended program and will help with the registration process.
The Board found that more time is needed to contract Chinook owners and breeders to notify them of this program and encourage participation. CCA hopes to include all purebred Chinooks in AKC’s Chinook Registry which will offer breeders the largest choices in their breeding selections. FMI click on this link.
