Chinooks!
The Chinook Breed is generally healthy, long-lived and robust. Some of our Chinooks have lived to 14 - 17 years of age. Chinooks are affectionate family dogs, dependent on their owner, with a special bond to children. The breed is intelligent and easy to train using positive training methods and tasty treats.
Chinooks are not a protection breed and do not make good guard dogs.
Whether a Chinook is running in a team on a snowy trail, earning titles in the ring, hiking on a desolate mountain trail, or snuggling on the couch with a beloved family member, the Chinook is the ideal all purpose canine companion.

We participate in canine health screens on our Chinooks. Look for Intervale Chinooks listed on the CHIC and OFA canine health websites. Frisco, Kali, Katherine, Crystal, Ursa, Claire, Franklin, Otie, Belle, Jazzy and Penny all have their CHIC's as do other family members. (Link to Chinooks on CHIC.)
Over the last 25 years, our Chinooks have participated in multiple genetic research studies on the Chinook. If you are looking for a Chinook, ask the breeder what health screens they participate in-this is important!

Chinook health and genetics are important to us!
Our Chinooks are our constant companions:
creative and comical, easy keepers, and easy to love.
Chinook Dogs are canine family companions who like to keep busy and need a job. Chinook can do it all: sledding, obedience,rally, agility, herding, lure coursing, scent work, biking, swimming, and hiking out on desolate mountain trails. A Chinook's favorite pastime? Cuddling on the couch with their family!
Our kennel takes its name from Birch Intervale, the New Hampshire sled dog training grounds for Arthur Walden's Chinooks. We have been breeding Chinooks since 1998 and are honored to be the first Chinook Breeder officially recognized as a Breeder of Merit by the American Kennel Club.
