This contact sheet contains 11 images of 120 film of Perry Greene with his Chinook dogs at home in Waldoboro. Chinooks are a rare breed of sled dog known for their intelligence and gentleness. In 1940 Perry Greene started a kennel in Waldoboro, and for a couple decades was the only breeder of Chinooks. In 2013 there were only 800 Chinooks registered worldwide. Kosti Ruohomaa took photos of Perry’s Chinook dogs. Kosti’s photos were published in Stag, and the July, 1949 edition of The American Legion Magazine, and also posthumously in Down East Magazine in January, 1963.
