The history of Jiggles


Jiggles, hidden by mom's front leg, nurses with his littermates.
You can see a peek of Jiggles in the bottom left hand of the crate. He was a very quiet pup, healthy, well behaved, and a thinker. I had no plans on keeping him. He was not the nut that the other pups were so he was often overlooked when people came to see the pups. His conformation evaluation was very strong so I decided to keep him until I could find a show/breeding home for him. He never left. He is such a nice dog- loyal, handsome, athletic, strong. He is a great sled dog and really anchors my team.

4 month old Jiggles and his brother, Marshall, see their first snow and experience their first sled run

Jiggles and his brother were running loose behind the sled but instinctually fell into the rest of the pack and ran in wheel position on their own! I love Jiggles natural pulling ability. He loves to sled.

Here is Jiggles and a few of his siblings at their first dog show. Jiggles has been very successful in the ring, finishing in the UKC Top Ten Chinooks and is one point shy of his Grand Championship.Even at 6 months, Jiggles had a beautiful head and nice expression Jiggles is a patient tacher and here he is showing Kila what to do in her first time in harness Jiggles is showing off his bone to his mom. Jiggles is a provider and is always bring me, and his packmates, bones, toys, and food. He will drop it at out feet or sometimes try to shove it in our mouths and is very upset if the gift is not accepted. I love this quality about him but I need to force myself to be grateful when he is trying to drop a dead bird or mouse in my lap! Jiggles prepares to jump for a frisbee. He is one of the few Chinooks that is a very good retreiver. He learned this from my Chinook Tay who, in turn, learned it from my German Shepherd. Jiggles sneaks up on a puppy in the yard. He is a good babysitter and loves to play. What a strong, calm face Jiggles is always in tip top shape. He is really easy to keep in good condition When you play hard, you sleep hard Jiggles running for a ball He has a nice, natural stack
