This vintage 1940s silent film documents the training of champion sled dog Chinook’s litter of puppies. Chinook was the lead sled dog for Admiral Richard Byrd; and the viewer watches as the adorable puppies are trained, without cruelty, to pull in dog sled races. There is footage of the dogs’ training in New Hampshire, actual races, trophy presentations, and more. Chinook's Children is a marvelous historical film for anyone interested in Chinook dogs and dog sled racing.
