Grace Anderson of Winterset Chinooks (CCA Founder) contacted the AKC about recognition as early as 1989. But it wasn’t until 1998 when Cheryl Colligan (CCA Founder) began to seriously pursue AKC FSS. Chinooks Worldwide (now Chinook Dog Club of America) formed a task force the next year consisting of Cheryl and Rick Skoglund and talks between FSS and the Chinook breed began in earnest.
