Do Chinooks shed? What are their grooming/bathing requirements?
Some Chinooks shed more than others; most shed twice yearly and a bit daily. Vigorous brushing daily will help a lot with the shedding. Their double coats do not need regular bathing and actually are healthier with infrequent bathing. If you must bath them, a non-detergent shampoo works best. Be sure to rinse out all the shampoo. The biggest grooming requirement is keeping nails trimmed as they have thick, fast growing nails. Chinooks need to have their teeth regularly brushed.
