Meet the breeder

I'm Lori N., the breeder behind Lake Time Chinooks located in Oronoco, MN. We are a family breeder helping to share our love of the Chinook breed with others. You will love our dogs as much as we do! Our puppies are raised with love in our home, and we strive to help each one grow up with confidence so they are ready to thrive with their new families. They are affectionate, intelligent, and cute as can be!

Q. & A. with Lori

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We knew we wanted to help keep the Chinook breed going. They are wonderful companions, and so few litters are born each year. We felt an obligation to try and help.
  • What makes your program special?

    We are not typical breeders. The puppies grow up in our home with our four pre-teens/teenagers prior to going to their forever homes. We stay in contact with each family and feel that the puppies we place will always be a part of our family.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Parent health testing

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Lake Time Chinooks reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Chinooks.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
