Chinook

Created in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the Chinook dog breed made its name on Admiral Byrd’s first Antarctic expedition in 1928. These days they’re multipurpose dogs who are happy hiking, competing in agility and other dog sports, pulling a sled or other conveyance, and playing with the kids.

Even though these are purebred dogs, you may find them in the care of shelters or rescue groups. Remember to adopt! Don’t shop if you want to bring a dog home.
