Taigi has both a bright, alert, attentive side and a softer cuddly side.  He's aware of everything going on around him yet chooses what he wants to react to and what he doesn't.  Just because he doesn't bark at everyone that walks past the house doesn't mean he hasn't noticed.  During his busy times he has places to go, people to meet, and appointments to keep but in the evenings he's ready for some downtime and cuddling.  You can tell which mood he's in by how he carries his ears -- when he's still and alert, one ear is up, when he's moving or relaxed and just kickin' back around the house in the evenings, both ears are softly laid back against his neck.  Chinook ears are one of their best features after all since they are very indicative of mood.

Taigi is a medium sized male at about 65 pounds with a gorgeous traditional Chinook head, broad chest, and an eye-catching red-gold coat.  He has only been in two conformation shows but has earned one win towards his UKC championship.  He has had one test-run in harness and performed well.  With a bit of practice, he might be a good scooter dog.

Hopefully Taigi will be bred to UWP Ch. PR Springcreek's Stormrunner (Mocha, owned by Pam Chambers) December of 2006.
