Upcoming Litters
Summer 2026
Maybird
+
Eddie
This litter is expected to be born about August 1, 2026!
This litter represents an exciting pairing that beautifully captures the essence of the Chinook breed standard. We expect these puppies to inherit Eddie’s impressive athletic build, and height, perfectly balanced by Maybird's stable, mountain-conditioned structure. Both parents possess outstanding health clearances and the highly sought-after Chinook "off-switch" – meaning they are ready for rugged outdoor adventures but equally content to curl up peacefully with their families at home.
Whether you are looking for a dedicated hiking partner, a potential dog sports companion, or a gentle, loyal family member, these puppies are bred to excel.
What to expect:
This will be a satellite litter for Desert Sol Chinooks with the puppies being raised in the Salt Lake City, Utah with Maybird's family and Desert Sol assisting their family as much as possible, including the screening and supporting of the puppy’s new homes.

Maybird, The Utah Breed Ambassador
Maybird is a lovely family dog who checks every single Chinook box. Named after Maybird Gulch in Utah's Little Cottonwood Canyon, she is a true outdoor athlete built for the mountains. An avid hiker who absolutely thrives in the snow, she has even spent time conditioning for skijoring. Yet, for all her athletic prowess, Maybird is an expert, "bombproof" traveler who adapts seamlessly to new environments, whether she is on a multi-week teardrop camper trip across the country or serving as an official breed ambassador in the Salt Lake City community.
True to the breed, Maybird is an incredibly sweet "leaner" who craves physical closeness with her family – even if that means trying to fit all 70 pounds of herself directly onto your lap for face licks. She is highly intelligent, remarkably quick to learn, and possesses a perfectly balanced energy level that always mirrors her family's mood. Wonderfully socialized, gentle with toddlers, and completely unpossessive of her toys, Maybird is the ultimate companion. She is a sleek, healthy, beautifully stable girl who brings an adaptable and deeply loving energy to our breeding program.

Eddie, The Noble Ranch Hand
Eddie is a stunning, large-framed representative of the Intervale line of Chinooks, instantly recognizable by his classic, rich tawny "big and red" coat. Standing an impressive 27 inches tall, he is a true head-turner with an athletic build and incredible stamina. Raised on a 46-acre working ranch alongside cattle and sheep, Eddie spends his days enjoying long walks around the property, demonstrating a wonderfully soft, biddable, and willing-to-please attitude. He even possesses the intelligence and impulse control to free-range safely around the ranch's chickens.
Despite his size and capability as an athlete, Eddie is a total "daddy's boy" and a gentle soul at heart. He perfectly embodies the famous Chinook "off switch" – as soon as he is indoors, he is completely content to snooze on his dog bed or curl up next to the woodstove. He is incredibly sweet-tempered, famously sharing his space to cuddle with the family cat. With a clean genetic panel, Excellent hips, and a gentle, trustworthy disposition, Eddie brings phenomenal structural strength and a sweet, steady temperament to this pairing.
