| | History of the Chinook dog |
 | | With Chinook's children, Walden was finally getting the quality of dogs that he was accustomed to; and in 1920 his new line of "Husky half-breds" (as he called them), made their debut at the Gorham, NH winter carnival, and he started seriously promoting dog sledding for draft, recreation, and sport. |
 | | Lombard promoted her Chinooks as recreational sled dogs, putting as much emphasis on their companionable nature as their working ability, she also fielded two Chinook teams that continued to be seen in the local sportsman shows, and on the winter racing circuit as well. |
 | | A few breeders crossbred their Chinooks with dogs of other breeds, or in some cases tracked the offspring of accidental breedings, with the thought that if all of the existing purebred Chinooks were lost in this manner, the breed might be "recreated" by using typey, healthy, crossbred Chinooks. |
