Spotlight on the New AKC Breeds: The Chinook
This large, athletic dog displays both Spitz and Mastiff ancestry. Lean and muscular, with moderate, oval bone, it’s a slow maturing breed. Adult dogs measure 23 and 27 inches, weighing 70 pounds. Bitches measure 21 and 25 inches, weighing 55 pounds. The Chinook is rectangular in proportion in a 9:10 ratio, with plenty of forward reach and rear extension, and a tireless, ground covering gait. Its dense, medium-length double coat consists of a straight, coarse outer coat and a soft, dense undercoat. The Chinook’s tawny color is a distinct breed trait, ranging from light honey color to reddish-gold with black markings.

Six Pack Abs
In my opinion, as a Judge, there is nearly nothing more satisfying than examining a dog whose muscling is hard as a rock.
