Ferncroft Chinooks is located in New Hampshire. We are a small, home-based breeder with large expectations for our Chinooks! We are members of the Chinook Owners Association and the Chinook Club of America. Our goal is to produce a great representation of the Chinook breed with a focus on health, pedigree, and complementary traits.

The Chinook breed was developed by polar explorer Arthur Treadwell Walden during the early 1900’s on his farm in Wonalancet New Hampshire. Walden’s farm was located along the same quiet country road, “The Chinook Trail”, where Milton and Eva Seeley helped develop the AKC Siberian and Malamute breeds.

Our Chinooks are OFA hip and eye tested and as well Embark paneled for genetic diseases that are tested for our breed before being bred. We choose mates to compliment Chinook breed standard and are mindful of the pedigree to produce puppies with lower coefficient of inbreeding . We aim to produced active, versatile loving family companions. All puppies are raised by using Puppy Culture outline.

My first Chinook Zealand came home in 2013. Ferncroft came to live with us in 2017 and she became the founding dam of Ferncroft Chinooks. She produced 22 puppies and is now living the life of retirement and having adventures!

We kept one of her puppies from her final litter named Eden and we plan to breed her in Spring 2024!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How often do you have a litter?

We will support satellite litters from Ferncroft's offspring. "Ferncroft The Alpine Zone" WILL bred this Spring 2024 in mid coast Maine! Summer puppies planned!

We plan to have a home litter with "Ferncroft Home Grown Eden" late summer in 2024!

Can I meet your Chinooks?

We would love to have you over or meet at a location that you prefer! Feel free to email us at Ferncroftchinooks@yahoo.com

How to I apply for a puppy?

Will will send you a puppy application and then call you to set up a interview. We like to spend time getting to know our potential puppy owners! We take pride in finding the best homes for his amazing breed! We prefer to have applicants over for a meet and greet and talk in person to get to know each other if possible.

Did you know there are only 1100 or so Chinooks in the world!
There are less than 100 puppies born each year. It’s hard to sustain a breed with such such low birth numbers.

How do we ensure the breed continues on?

First, by finding puppy owners who are willing to help keep the population growing by leaving their puppies open for breeding and most importantly, following through on that promise!

Those of you who have sent applications in for a puppy have seen the section asking if you are open to to breeding. Honestly, most people want pet puppies. But if the majority of these dogs go to pet puppy homes,then our already dwindling number of Chinooks drops accordingly.

Our first goal as a responsible breeder is to be 100% solid with the homes that I place our puppies in. We love our puppies fiercely and are vested in the families we choose, to continue loving them from the moment we pass them over to you. We want everyone to be happy. Especially the pup.

Second is finding like minded families that realize the importance of breeding! The Chinook dog is a rare breed of sled dog that originated in New Hampshire and Maine.

Chinooks are not a dime a dozen breed like many others. Puppies are not plentiful and those that we have, especially females, who can be tested and confirmed at age 2 to be suitable for breeding, are helping the most to curb the threat of disappearing!!!

All puppies go home with a signed contract with Ferncroft Chinooks! OFA Hip/Eye testing is required with all puppies at 2 years of age regardless if they are bred.
