All Chinook Dog Club of America members, anyone with an interest in Chinooks, human friends and friendly dogs are cordially invited to the home of John and Nancy Halloran for the annual Picnook. This event is open to everyone interested in Chinooks! Chinook dogs will be out in force in Merrimac! This is an excellent chance for those who want to meet the breed. Traditionally this is a laid-back event with owners eager to meet anyone who has interest in the breed. Please help spread the word of this opportunity to visit Chinooks and owners.

John and Nancy are owned by their Chinooks, Perry Greene Seanook, Mountain Laurel Machias and Hannah the Weimaraner. John and Nancy own and operate Adventure Learning Center. The Center has seven acres of land and a fenced yard for your Chinooks to romp and play. In the event of rain we will move into a large meeting room. There is a grassy tract and trails for wheeled rigs and scooters. Bring your toys!

We are making an effort to have an AKC judge visit during the Picnook for AKC evaluations.
