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 3

Week 3 - 6/16/2026

Week 3 has been an action-packed week of growth and discovery as the pups continue to grow like weeds! They are enthusiastically gobbling up their gruel – a mix of soggy kibble and goat's milk – and we’ve started shifting the ratios to be more kibble-heavy as they mature. Ghost remains an incredibly attentive and gentle mother; she keeps a close watch from her blanket nearby and is always quick to step in and gently break up any wrestling matches that get a little too rowdy.

Their brains are busy soaking up new experiences, and we’ve been hard at work building their confidence. They’ve tested out a variety of surfaces, from the cool curiosity of grass to the texture of asphalt and carpet, and they are becoming quite the little explorers. We’ve also been running sound desensitization playlists covering everything from city sirens and fireworks to doorbells, though the adult dogs certainly find the doorbell sounds more exciting than the puppies do!

The highlight of our week has been the social growth; the pups greet us with the most adorable squeals and screeches, and it’s heart-melting to see them recognize us and settle into our arms for cuddles. They’ve already met five new adults, and we’re looking forward to a house full of overnight guests this weekend for plenty of extra love.

All curled up and resting peacefully until their next adventure

By the end of the week, we’ll be moving them out of the whelping box and into their new, larger indoor pen. We're excited to introduce a dark plastic crate for their sleeping quarters and some new toys to keep them entertained. We can’t wait to share more personality developments with you next week!
