Leading the way to Chinook magic!

Available Studs
Ensuring the genetic sustainability of the Chinook breed matched with planning to produce the healthiest next generation is paramount to me. Therefore, studs are only available for a limited number of litters, and may be retired if a sufficient number of offspring are moving forward in other breeding programs. Please contact me at Karen@VanguardChinooks.com for more information on any of the studs below.
