Is CCA is a splinter group of CDCA/CWW?
This claim has been made by the former Chinooks Worldwide, Inc.(CWW) and they even went so far as to change their name to the Chinook Dog Club of America (CDCA) to blur the distinction between the clubs. However, the two clubs could not be more different. The founders of CCA were past members of COA and CWW – and who isn’t? They were also some of the very members that initiated AKC involvement for the Chinook breed. However, one by one, over a period of several years, those members left CDCA when it became clear that CDCA had no intention of being active in the AKC community or availing itself of AKC resources. Others maintained their membership, but became inactive in CDCA. Further, CCA has completely different bylaws, breed standard, and ethics from CDCA or any other Chinook club.
