'PR' Blue Sky Sebascodegan
DOB: 4/16/2016
Sire: Granite Hill Nemah Tsolo

​
Deegan was blessed to live with and learn from some of the sweetest and most fun Chinooks - Moxie, Mahoosuc, and Strider. As a bonus, she's had 2 Great Pyrenese brothers - Angus and Clyde.
Some of her favorite past times are zooming through her favorite stream in NH or walking through fields and on the beach at home in Harpswell. She loves the zoomies! And mischief!
​
Deegan loves her people and the life she has near the ocean.

Moon is a lovely, sweet, and silly purebred Chinook. She is an athletic, snuggly, quirky girl who loves and is loved by her pack and me. She loves to run, play in the mud, and cool off in the swimming hole. She's a big fan of snuggling and gives LOTS of kisses. She could make an occupation out of that – or hunting!
Moon is living out a good life with her momma, Dirigo (granddaughter of beloved Chocorua) and good pals Brother and Maple.
Moon’s Dislikes? Toenail clipping!

Maple is 2nd generation in the COA’s Chinook Breed Conservation Program and brings genetic diversity to the table. When bred with a purebred Chinook Maple’s puppies will be eligible to be registered as UKC purebreds. We will soon find out if Maple will be expecting puppies in the fall of 2024.
Maple is a sweet girl with beautiful conformation and movement. She loves living with her papa, Brud. She's not shy, but she needs a moment when meeting new people. She is a friend after that. ​

She is sweeter than the maple syrup that is named after her.
