Baker

+ more about the parents

Seven pups (6 females and 1 male) were born May 26, 2026!

This litter represents an exciting blend of Baker’s steady, athletic structure and Ghost’s exceptional intelligence and agility. We expect these puppies to be well-balanced, high-performing Chinooks with the sturdy bone density and fluid, reach-and-drive gait that define the breed standard. With both parents boasting excellent health clearances, we anticipate robust, sound puppies capable of excelling in both performance venues and as dedicated family companions.

What to expect:

Size & Build: These pups will likely be average size and build for the breed standard.
Appearance: Genetically, this pairing offers a wonderful variety in coat color. 5 of 7 are tawny with a black mask (like Papa Baker) and 2 of 7 are buff (like Mama Ghost).
Temperament: Every puppy in this litter is bred to possess the signature Chinook temperament – loyal, intelligent, and deeply connected to their pack.

This is a satellite litter for Desert Sol Chinooks with the puppies being raised in the northern New Hampshire with Ghost & Baker's family and Desert Sol assisting their family as much as possible, including the screening and supporting of the puppy’s new homes.

Ghost, The Pack Guardian

Ghost is a force of nature – brilliantly intelligent, intensely loyal, and arguably the smartest dog we have ever raised. A powerful and active athlete, she is the fastest of our pack, displaying incredible agility, leaping ability, and speed. Her natural instinct for "pack management" is remarkable; she is acutely aware of the location of every human and dog, and is quick to advocate for any pack member she feels has been separated.

While she is an affectionate, fearless, and outgoing companion who adores all people, Ghost is also a highly willful "escape artist" who possesses an impressive knack for problem-solving. Her quick wit and eager-to-please nature make her a dream to train, and her capacity for devotion—particularly toward her humans—is boundless. Ghost is a healthy, vibrant buff-colored girl who carries excellent hips and normal eyes, bringing a spirited, sharp, and deeply loving energy to our breeding program.

Baker, the Gentle Athlete.

Baker is a standout example of the Chinook breed, combining a robust, athletic frame with an incredibly gentle and steady temperament. Weighing in at a lean, well-muscled 70 lbs, he possesses a luxurious coat and beautiful, classic tawny markings with a black mask.

Baker is as comfortable on the couch as he is on the trail. He is the ultimate "goofy" companion – full of joy during a game of Jolly Ball, yet calm and reliable in daily life. His health is excellent, and he has passed his health clearances with flying colors, boasting excellent hips and normal eyes. Whether he is interacting with children, other dogs, cats, or chickens, Baker is consistently kind and trustworthy. As a proven sire, he brings both excellent physical structure and a balanced, loving disposition to his progeny.

Week 5 - 6/30/2026

In Week 5, the puppies continue to make huge daily progress, both physically and mentally. They learned about water this week, with Trillium taking the lead in investigating the shallow dog pool with a gentle spray from the sides. She was so curious about the splashing sound from the water that the other puppies just had to come over and investigate too. We had some very hot days lately so to expand on the water theme, we put some ice cubes in a small food bowl for them. They were a big hit.

Ghost also saw many changes this week. She rarely nurses now, but instead is enjoying some one on one time with her puppies. For 15-20 minutes, she and one puppy at a time free ranged in the living room and kitchen. She taught them how to play bow, drink from a water bowl, and that biting momma’s tail and ears was not allowed (she would put their entire heads in her mouth and wait until they settled down before releasing them - all done very gently !)

The puppies had many more closeup moments with ColbyJack, our large Maine Coon cat. They aren’t sure what the exact rules are about cats so they correctly chose to be respectful. Our 6 chickens also made an appearance near the outdoor puppy pen and were greeted with polite curiosity by the pups. By the time this litter goes to their forever homes they will have socialized with almost one hundred people of all sizes and ages (who knew having pups would elicit so many visitors?!). They are loving, curious and calm puppies!

We continue to play sounds of traffic, thunder, clapping, metal clanging, etc. We also have started gentle crate training with them, giving them the option to sleep all snuggled up in one of 2 crates.
