Salmon of the North Pacific

Usage examples of chinook.

Chinook was, or Arthur Walden, either, because Chinook was the most famous dog in America, and Walden, his owner, was pretty famous, too.

Walden wrote a popular book, A Dog-Puncher in the Yukon, and he and his Chinook dogs - the famous sire himself and a team of his offspring - won the first Eastern International Sled Dog Derby in 1922.

He also cursed out Perry Greene and thus explained this gap in my expertise about my home state and Chinook dogs.

I still should have know Bear, though, especially because Rowdy and Kimi were Kotzebues, the strain of Alaskan malamute that originated at the Chinook Kennels.

But the owner of a gorgeous Chinook who deliberately passes off this stellar rare-breed specimen as a shepherd mix?

Chinooks could be registered with the American Rare Breed Association, and, mostly because of a long-ago AKC rebuff, Chinook owners were more interested in UKC than in AKC recognition.

At his heels trotted a glorious, large-bellied Chinook, her body wagging, her eyes radiant with delight.

The Chinook dog, once nearly extinct, had just been added to the list of 146 - now 147 breeds and varieties recognized by the United Kennel Club, the largest working-dog registry and the second-largest all-breed registry in the United States.

It had been snowing heavily for a week and the chinook beginning to blow there began at half-past eight in the morning a series of avalanches high up on the peak of the Overlander.

Three The Chinook helicopter, a big, fast experimental model on demonstration loan from the US Army of the Rhine, suffered from the same defect as other, smaller and less advanced models in that it was extremely noisy, the rackety clamour of the engines making conversation difficult and at times impossible.

Superficially, it would have seemed, their presence could be more than justified, but as the pilot had firmly stated that he had no intention of setting his Chinook down in floodwaters and the experts, portly gentlemen all, had indicated that they had no intention of descending by winch or rope ladder only to be swept away, it was difficult to see how their presence could be justified.

The Chinook, flying at no more than two hundred metres and 55 about half a kilometre out to sea, was directly opposite Oosterend when the sea dyke broke.

As the pilot turned his Chinook westwards, presumably to see what the conditions were like in the polder, de Graaf leaned over to one of the Rijkswaterstaat experts.

The Chinook curved round, passing over the waters flooding across the first reaches of the polder and came to hover some fifteen metres above the ground and some twenty metres distant.
