The Chinook's Origins and History

Country/Region of Origin: United States

Original purpose: sled dogs

Name: Name is derived from the breed's ancestor's name, 'Chinook'

Historical notes: Chinook dogs exist because of Arthur Walden's efforts. His lead dog, 'Chinook' was the progenitor of the breed and was a cross between a Husky and a Mastiff-type male dog. Ancestries include Belgian Sheepdogs, German Shepherd dogs, Canadian Eskimo dogs, and a few more breeds. Breeding passed from Walden to Mrs. Julia Lombard and from her to Perry Greene. Mr. Greene's death brought the breed to near extinction but efforts by several breeders saved it from oblivion.
