- The Chinook was developed
from a mix of multiple breeds, including spitzes, but is not, in fact,
very spitzy in its type. It is a sled dog, but not every sled dog has
to be a spitz. I include it in the spitz section of this website for
the time being, but will probably move it to a better-fitting section
in the future.
