GreatMountain Breeding Plans for 2008
We are taking applications for expected and anticipated 2008 litters. 

Litter Confirmed! Update May 2008:  We are excited to announce that 'PR' Hurricane Lily Blossom (OFA Excellent/CERF Normal/clear of seizures) and CH 'PR' Boreayl Louie (OFA Fair, CERF Normal/clear of seizures) are expecting 7 to 8 puppies in early June.  Both dogs have very sweet temperaments.  The pups will be born in Maine around June 6th and ready for new homes in early August.  We do have several homes on our list already, but may have puppies available.  This is a purebred litter.  To receive an application, please email us chinooks@roadrunner.com

Callicoon Breeding Accomplished! Update April 25, 2008: :  We are pleased to announce the breeding of two dogs co-owned by GreatMountain - CH GreatMountain Willowemoc (PennHIP 80th percentile, CERF normal, clear of seizures) to GreatMountain X Sinamokst (PennHIP 90th percentile, CERF normal, clear of seizures).  The litter will be born in New York.  Both dogs have incredibly sweet and solid temperaments and both are terrific working dogs.  If you are interested in working your Chinook in any venue, this is the litter for you!  Inquiries about this litter should go to Maria Sommer at callicoon@mac.com.

Fall Litter Planned:  We plan to breed CH 'PR' Hurricane Nokomis Dream (OFA Good/CERF normal/clear of seizures) to a stud to be named later in the fall.  We are working with several other breeders who are planning litters this year.  We refer all approved homes to breeders who have available puppies. 

Please read our kennel philosophy. Our goal in breeding is to produce healthy Chinooks with outstanding temperament, drive and conformation. A healthy, well-structured dog will serve you well whether you want a snuggly couch potato, a hiking companion, a competitive show dog or a recreational sled dog. Our dogs are all this and more and we look for studs who compliment each dog's unique strengths. 

If you have questions about whether a Chinook puppy is right for you, please read the FAQs on the Chinook Owners Association website before deciding on this breed.

To potential puppy owners: Our pups will be available for placement when they reach 8 weeks of age. They will be appropriately socialized with other animals, children, adults and new environments. They will be temperament tested and evaluated for conformation to the breed standard. Click here to read about our conformation evaluations. They will be DNA-VIP. GreatMountain puppies also come with a one year membership to the Chinook Owners Association. All of our puppies are placed with contracts.  Because it is our goal to match the right puppy with the right home, we never make placement promises until we evaluate the personality of the puppy.  We chose placements for all puppies and do not allow owners to "pick" their pup.  This is a new concept to many dog owners, so we like to set it out up front so there will be no surprises!
