Litters with Barkerville Dams or Studs
2026: The Windy City Litter
(Sire to a Ferncroft Chinooks breeding)
Ferncroft Kala Rosie had 7 puppies on Saturday, May 16. The puppies were born by c-section. Barkerville Takoda is the sire. Pups were raised in IL and have transitioned to their new families in KY, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY and VT.
Takoda is a 2nd generation Chinook x Tamaskan cross with the Chinook Breed Conservation Program (CBCP). He is a friendly, easy-going guy with a strong muscular build. Kala is a purebred Chinook. Kala is sweet and easy going. She was a great mom. This breeding combines outstanding hip health, strong genetics, solid temperament, and the genetic diversity offered through the CBCP. Takoda and Kala should produce pups that are clear of carrying genes for MRD1, CDDY/IVDD, and Chondrodystrophy.
The puppies will be eligible for UKC registration as purebred Chinooks.

Meet Blue x Tormund puppies
Blue and Tormund's puppies are now with their forever families. Pups are in ME, NH, VT, MA, OR, and CA.
Embark results are in and we are delighted with their COIs range from 25%-31%, promising for pups who "graduated" from the Chinook Breed Conservation Program and are now UKC registered purebred Chinooks. Additionally, all pups are clear of MRD1, IVDD, and dwarfism. The puppies had their vet appointment earlier in the week. All were healthy and got their first vaccines. Toby and Tuck's testicles descended by 8 weeks - happy with that news.
