Chinook Breeders

By crossing Eskimo dogs with both smooth coated Saint Bernards and Belgian shepherds, Arthur Walden, an American breeder, developed these dogs with immense pulling power.  The Chinook, named after Walden's favorite dog, is extremely rare.  They are in danger of extinction because their numbers are small.  These dogs are ever willing to work, especially at sled pulling.  Their strong, confident personality needs firm handling as a puppy to ensure they don't fight with other dog team members.  They should be raised with children from puppy hood.  They make good watchdogs.  These dogs weigh 65 to 90 lbs. and stand 21-26" at the shoulders.  Grooming needs are minimal.  Contact the dog breeders below for your next family friend.
