Chinooks became a AKC recognized breed in January 2013.
Saturday, Koyuk's intended, Oscar, became the first male AKC Champion.
Meanwhile Koyuk was having a bit of fun on her own. A large flock of scolding Jays descended on the trees by the bird feeder. Koyuk could not resist the temptation. She was quite pleased with herself when she brought her catch to me but then after parading around with it a while, could not figure out what to do with it. (The Jay is now one with the blackberry bushes.)
