ATTENTION!!

ADULT PUREBRED CHINOOK AVAILABLE

Zephyr is an active purebred Chinook that turned 7 years old a couple of weeks ago and is looking for just the right home. He is a goofy, sensitive, complicated soul and is house-trained with basic obedience. He LOVES to be with his people. He has been diagnosed wtih Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) but is stable and not on medication as long as his diet doesn't change rapidly. I've asked his breeder for any information in his relatives that would add to knowledge about potential food intolerances, and he is on a couple of foods he tolerates very well at this time.

Zephyr is looking for a home that needs a devoted companion and that does not have children, ideally a home with experience with sensitive dogs. He is reserved with strangers but given time he warms up he and is very lovable and goofy. Young children concern him greatly, which is why he is unable to stay in his current home which has a young baby and other children frequently in and out of the house. The right new home will be committed to keeping Zephyr separated from children.

Zephyr is able to be left loose in a quiet place in the house and is not destructive. He is crate trained but can complain loudly at being left alone in it. He is generally good with other dogs but is very excited to see them, so it will be important to keep up with his trained check-ins with his owner for treats when he sees them on walks. Zephyr has not been around cats but can be recalled off of wildlife.

Zephyr is intact but should be neutered at the appropriate time (I will cover the cost). He will be placed at no charge in the right home. He is currently located in Michigan but transport can be worked out.

Please email [email protected] for more information.

This pup is not so little anymore. Zephyr will be six months old in a few weeks. He is growing strong, well proportioned with a loving temperament to both his human and animal friends and family. Taking after his grandma Luna it seems.

Chinook (1917–29) was the foundation sire of a new American dog breed, the first breed to have originated in New Hampshire. Arthur Walden of Wonalancet, NH, crossed a mixed-breed dog with a Husky, and a litter was born on January 17, 1917. He named a pup from the litter with the most stamina and intelligence “Chinook.” Walden and Chinook introduced dog sled racing to New Hampshire. Chinook led the first sled dog team to climb to the top of Mount Washington, and was lead dog on Commander Richard E. Byrd’s first Antarctic expedition, moving supplies to its base camp, “Little America.” Byrd described Chinook as a “shock troop” who could be counted on “when the going turned very hard.” On that expedition, Chinook wandered away and was never found. Chinook was established as New Hampshire's state dog in June 2009. The limited-edition bobblehead measures 6.25" high.
