Vanguard Chinooks

Ankaa was a terrific mom and the puppies from her first litter are doing amazing things and are excellent family companions. I hope to build on that outstanding fit for her second litter and am aiming for more active, resilient, solid working pups.

Ankaa is a super athletic, smart, active, sensitive problem solver who can't help frantically wagging her tail and licking the faces of people around her. She has a solid work ethic and is doing well starting in bikejoring and weight pull. She has the most sensitive and incredible nose of all of my dogs, and I hope to trail her in nosework land Rally Obedience. Ankaa LOVES to run and play, and while her enthusiastic approach may come across as a bit "extra", she is excellent at reading other dogs and soliciting play (particularly if they will chase her!). Ankaa has a strong off switch in the house and can often be found curled up on the couch within touching distance of her humans.

Mochi is a lovely, outgoing, laid-back big boy with a freighter build that is the perfect complement for Ankaa. I'd love to see him pass on his lovely head and coat to puppies as well as some of that mellowness to partner with Ankaa's joie de vivre. He's got great health, doing well at 14.5+ !! He has a pedigree of older Chinooks that is less common these days, so is a perfect complement for Ankaa on pretty much every level.

Puppies will be third generation under the Chinook Breed Conservation Program and registered with the United Kennel Club as purebred Chinooks. Ankaa is a second generation puppy from a Chinook x Tamaskan litter, part of the COA's Chinook Breed Conservation Program! You can read more about the first generation here.

This breeding will be via artificial insemination using frozen semen, which may mean litter size is smaller than average.
