I like dog shows, I live dog shows, but it’s Westminster Kennel Club that holds the key to excitement.

New At Westminster In 2013: Grand Championship Points (GCh): Addition of the Reserve Best In Show Award: Two new breeds eligible in 2013:

I find it hard to believe that the American Kennel Club is now accepting letters from breeder/exhibitors which recommend that a judge get approval for additional breeds.

This large, athletic dog displays both Spitz and Mastiff ancestry. Lean and muscular, with moderate, oval bone, it’s a slow maturing breed. Adult dogs measure 23 and 27 inches, weighing 70 pounds. Bitches measure 21 and 25 inches, weighing 55 pounds. The Chinook is rectangular in proportion in a 9:10 ratio, with plenty of forward reach and rear extension, and a tireless, ground covering gait. Its dense, medium-length double coat consists of a straight, coarse outer coat and a soft, dense undercoat. The Chinook’s tawny color is a distinct breed trait, ranging from light honey color to reddish-gold with black markings.
