Are Chinooks good family dogs?

Yes, Chinooks can be good family dogs. They are often marvelously affectionate, thriving in social homes.

The ideal home for a Chinook would be one with plenty of space for them to stretch their legs — either a large yard or daily access to outdoor areas for exercise. Chinooks are happiest when they can be close to their family and involved in daily activities, so a home where they aren’t left alone for long periods is best. Families who enjoy outdoor activities like hiking or running would be a great match for this athletic breed.
