Rain Mountain Chinooks
Meet the breeder
I'm Ginger C., the breeder behind Rain Mountain Chinooks located in Stanwood, WA. I breed powerful, healthy, and sweet Chinooks for pet, show, and recreational sports. Breeding Chinooks is a juggling act. I juggle health, breed type, genetic diversity, temperament, and the dog's individual ability to pull - it's a historic job. All pups are raised in the middle of my home with extensive socialization. I am very dedicated to what I am aiming to achieve as a breeder.
Q. & A. with Ginger
Why did you start breeding?
I strive to not only produce beautiful puppies and continue my phenomenal Chinook bloodlines, but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Chinook will continue to thrive for generations to come. Raising pups, showing in conformation or performance events, gliding over the snow on a dog sled, as well as just living with Chinook dogs has been my hobby for over 30years.What makes your program special?
We love spoiling and pampering our dogs, and hope that our puppies' new homes will love and cherish them just as much as we do! Rain Mountain has never had a huge kennel facility and never will. After many years of supporting the early Chinook Cross lines and incorporating them into my breeding program, I have become more involved in the reinvigorated Chinook Breed Conservation Program and am sponsoring a Chinook Cross line myself. Rest assured that you will never be sold a Chinook Cross when you are looking for a purebred Chinook by me or any other Chinook breeder.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
