Kenna Lu and Jetty, spring 2014 World cup litter

The perfect match! Silvertree Chinooks welcomed a litter of 5 pups on April 19th, 2014.
These pups were born and raised at our home just outside Portland, Oregon and have all been placed.

DAM:
PR Frontier In Bocca al Lupo WLD RN CGC "Kenna Lu" 
Birthday: April 25th, 2010
Height: 22''
Weight: 60 lbs
OFA Hips: Good
CERF: Normal
Seizure and Allergy Free

Kenna Lu is a sweet girl, a "Daddy's Girl" with a calm disposition and reserved temperament. She prefers to observe new situations and people before showing her approval and affection. Once she does, you're in like flynn. Kenna is a strong girl - she is a natural leader, and is our go-to girl to lead our sled dog team in training and in races. She is a stellar huntress, enjoys being outdoors and isn't afraid to get her paws muddy! She definitely has some wild instincts. Despite this, Kenna is a pleasure to work with and train. She learns quickly and is a reliable companion out in public or in performance venues. Kenna came to us as a pup from the wonderful Susan Fletcher of Frontier Chinooks in Washington. The "good luck" litter of 5 pups are outstanding examples of Chinook health, temperament, and beauty.

SIRE:
Granite Hill Odiorne Point NA OAJ NF "Jetty"
Birthday: December 28th, 2009
Height: 24''
Weight: 60 lbs
OFA Hips: Excellent
CERF: Normal
Seizure and Allergy Free

Jetty lives on the Southern Oregon coast with his human family but originally came from Granite Hill Chinooks in New Hampshire. His owner, Lonna, waited a long time for Jetty, working with the breeder to select a puppy that would physically meet the requirements of being able to train in agility. His ability to learn quickly and easily, and his eagerness to please have helped him to become a fast, confident and skilled agility dog. But underneath that tough, athletic exterior is a sweet, gentle and sensitive spirit who loves to cuddle with his Mom and Dad at every opportunity! Jetty gets the most joy out of being with his family! Better yet, being with his family while enjoying his favorite activities: agility, scootering, running on the beach and hiking. A perfect combination!

why kenna + jetty?

We chose Jetty as a sire for Kenna's first litter (it's his, too) primarily for health, structure, and temperament reasons. Kenna Lu has fantastic looks and working drive but is a bit short on stature and very barrel-chested (great for show, a hinderance for some working activities). Jetty is an accomplished agility competitor and has an efficient light frame with a narrow chest and athletic build. We felt his structure would lend itself well combined with Kenna's body type. They're both very healthy with no hip displaysia, allergies, or eye conditions. Jetty is also from an East Coast line and we wanted to produce a litter with his east coast lineage and genetics. 
They both have wonderful temperaments and outstanding working drive, passion, and focus. We expect their pups to make excellent companions and working dogs in any sport or competitive ambition. See their Pedigree information here. 
June 2014: These pups have all been placed.
