Created in New Hampshire by Arthur Treadwell Walden, Chinooks blend sled dog endurance with mastiff strength. Their tawny coats and friendly temperaments stand out. Chinooks are gentle with family, especially children, and thrive on regular exercise and mental work. Eager to please and bright, they are highly trainable and outstanding companions.
