Why should CCA be chosen parent club?
IF CCA is chosen as parent club – it will be because we worked hard and earned it. This club IS younger than the others and we had to work twice as hard to be considered because we wanted to offer the Chinook community a club that is actually active and dynamic and because CDCA was the club that initiated the Chinook breed’s involvement with AKC and we had to shine brighter in order to be considered. It’s gone pretty well, so far. Membership exceeds the AKC requirements of 100 households in 25 states. Our members and AKC mentors are constantly involved in AKC activities – as AKC club members, judges and stewards, and participating in AKC companion, performance, and conformation events – an effort not seen in the other Chinook clubs. We are hopeful that CCA will be the parent club when the Chinook breed begins an exciting new era as an AKC recognized breed.
