Susan, congratulations on the metamorphosis of this group from a puppy-
owners' list to a full-grown breed list! I don't own a Chinook (yet -- unless I
count my "Chinook wannabe," JoJo), so I'll probably be lurking on the sidelines
of this list trying to absorb more of the mysteries and intricacies of the
Chinook Sleddog breed. I think I'm well on my way to understanding the
HISTORY of the breed pretty well, but I have to confess that the BREEDING and
the BLOODLINES still confuse the heck out of me, with so many "open" and
"alternate" pedigrees and the immense confusion of the Perry Greene rescue
and the following years. Maybe one day it'll all start to soak in -- meanwhile,
I'm listening with fascination!

Good luck to Sparkle-Plenty when July 9 rolls around!
