BrownStone Chinooks is devoted to fostering the excellent health and wonderful temperament of Chinook dogs. Hard-working Chinooks excel in many activities such as agility, obedience, back yard play, hiking, dog powered sports, search and rescue, and as service dogs. The affectionate Chinook is an excellent family dog matching its activity level to that of its companions - be it strenuous exercise or snuggling on the couch.

BrownStone April Pup-update

I made it. A pup-update before a new month.
A wonderful memory of ever tolerant BrownStone Lupin.

 Breakfast served in a not-so-fast slow bowl.
 What fun - Tika timed her first season along with Kima.

On the home front, the BrownStone pack has been busy with the drive construction and taking advantage of the rapidly changing seasons experienced during April.
Like other related Chinooks, the BrownStone pack loves to get muddy. April shower provided several opportunities to frolic and roll in the mud.
Trask came in the house quite proud of himself.
 Cedar doesn't kook that muddy but lighting can be deceiving.
 Jake doing his best to help clean Trask.
Koyuk with her guilty look.
"ah, mom,do I really need another bath?"
Days like this I feel so blessed to have a mud room with a drain in the cement floor and a large stash of "dog towels".
All clean and happy with his treat. Jake actually removes TP tubes out of the bathroom garbage and brings them to Trask.
What better time for a nap than being without power.
People often ask if Chinooks get along with cats. Jake is our third cat since we got our first Chinook. Like our previous cats, he would much rather snuggle up to the dogs than humans. Koyuk is is favorite since she routinely give him baths.
Visiting dogs can be another issue. Trask, Koyuk and Cedar giving Ullr an intimidating welcome. They had not seen him in months. After a few minutes, all was chase and play.
This month: April showers.
Next month: Chinooks and flowers.
