All About Puppies

Hurricane Alberta

NOTE: The following was printed in the September 1997 issue of Dog World, and provides prospective puppy owners with a list of excellent questions for discussion. Please use this list when looking for a credible Chinook breeder.

Copyright Dog World, 1997

The COA suggests prospective buyers ask breeders the following questions:

  1. How long have you been involved with this breed? Can you provide me with references?

    2. 2-day-old Chinook puppies

  2. What are your goals in breeding the stud and bitch?
  3. Do you work or show your dogs? Have they earned any titles or been evaluated in their ability to perform traditional activities such as pulling a sled, rig, a person on skis or backpacking? Are your dogs involved with agility, obedience or therapy work? Do they have Canine Good Citizen certification?
  4. Will the litter be evaluated for conformation and temperament testing by an expert in these areas?
  5. Do you breed your dogs to the U.K.C. standard? Do you register all your puppies with this organization?
  6. Will the puppy be DNA-profiled or the litter DNA-parent-verified?
  7. Have the parents passed an OFA evaluation and a CERF evaluation? At what ages?
  8. Do you have a breeder/purchaser contract? What is covered in this contract (health, spay/neuter, breeding, state laws)?
  9. Do you have a signed code of ethics by your parent club?

    10. Hurricane Tchoutacabouffa

  10. Can I see the parent dogs' papers, pedigrees, titles, certificates and all contracts before I purchase a puppy?
  11. Can I physically see the parents or receive photos? Can you tell me about the litter's ancestors and siblings?
  12. Do you take back or provide rescue for any or all puppies you sell? Is there an age limit?
  13. How do you decide which puppy goes to which home?
  14. What long-term contract do you maintain with owners of Chinooks you have bred?
  15. What support do you provide for a new owner? What do I need to know when I bring my puppy home (food, crate, vaccinations)?
  16. What are the positive and negative aspects of owning a Chinook.
