BACKROADS CHINOOKS, Tom & Helen Crater, Coral Michigan, U.S.A.
Helen Crater. Another solid contributor to early COA yet pre-UKC days of Chinookdom. Harry Gray/Northdown had great respect for Backroads/Tom & Helen, from whatall he had to say of them and their Chinooks to me in the early '90s even. I always wished I had met Helen in particular, as her kennel records were/are superb. She had a way of drilling down to the minutia that actually meant the most then as now. Bless her soul again today, and the spirit of every one of her Backroads beloveds. More good folks with good dogs...

In particular, I'd like to encourage comments on these items from other breeders, owners, and lovers of Chinook Sleddogs that may also have first hand and/or anecdotal knowledge to add. Hereby creating an informal, online portal for sharing of more Chinook Sleddog history.
