The Chinook Dog

The Chinook is a northern breed (sled dog) developed to pull heavy loads over long distances at a quick pace. This breed stems from one dog, born in 1917 and named "Chinook" and the man that brought the breed into existence, Arthur Treadwell Walden of Wonalancet, New Hampshire. Walden was an experienced sled dog driver and also a grand publicist.

After Walden, breeding stock passed to Mrs. Julia Lombard and then to Perry Greene. Greene controlled the Chinook population until his death in 1963 at which point the breed's population dropped dramatically to eleven potentially breedable dogs in 1981. In 1981, the United Kennel Club recognized the breed for registration.
