I'm Sherry H., the breeder behind Green Valley Chinooks located in Washington. Green Valley Chinooks is located just outside Auburn, Washington, in a small valley halfway between Seattle and Mt. Rainier. Our Chinooks are enthusiastic hiking buddies, joyful training partners, and affectionate couch snugglers.
Q. & A. with Sherry
Why did you start breeding?
I never envisioned myself breeding. But faced with the Chinook breed's small population, and knowing the immeasurable joy that our own Chinooks have brought to our lives, the decision was suddenly a simple one. Our goal, too, is simple: To breed Chinooks that are physically and mentally sound, and that will also bring the same joy, love, and comfort to their human companions.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are beloved family members. Puppies are raised in our home, where they are exposed to the daily noises of cooking, conversation, dog play, TV, etc. We follow both Avidog and Puppy Culture protocols to foster confident and curious puppies, ready to take on the world.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
