Pastimes
She was a stray that had wondered in to my sister’s yard and immediately started playing with her dog. We tried to find her owner and after 2 weeks of posting and waiting with no leads I ended up keeping her.
Chinook Breed Maintenance
The Chinook does have a double coat that can be quite thick depending upon the climate in which the dog lives. (If they are in cooler temperatures, the coat will be thick; if the dog lives in a warmer climate, like the southern United States, the coat will not be very thick.) They shed rather easily, so weekly brushing is a must. Baths are not recommended very often; in fact, experts say bathing only every six months is necessary. Twice a year this sturdy canine will go through a shedding period known as “blowing coat.” This will last about three weeks, and the dog will need to be brushed more during that time. They have nails that grow quickly, so you will want to trim their nails weekly. Regular brushing of the teeth will also contribute to great dental health. This active breed can live happily in an apartment if regular exercise is provided.
