Chinook dogs are known for their remarkable temperature tolerance. As long as they aren't working up a sweat, they should be OK in temperatures as high as 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius). However, if you want to take your Chinook for a trek or run, you should avoid temperatures exceeding 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius). Chinooks, unlike several other breeds, can only sweat to a limited extent to cool off.

Keep in mind that in hot and humid weather, any dog, even a Chinook, might suffer from heatstroke or another heat-related ailment. Therefore, in warm weather, it is important to provide shade, drink, and rest periods, and to avoid intensive activity during the warmest sections of the day.

Although Chinooks can survive in a wide temperature range, they thrive in chilly environments. Their strong double coat provides good protection against low temperatures, which allows them to thrive in frigid environments.

It was in New Hampshire, America, where the first Chinooks were bred specifically to be used as sledge dogs in an arctic expedition. Their long history of service in chilly regions is a testament to their capacity to thrive in wintry settings.

Chinooks are at their happiest and healthiest in colder climates, and may even like the snow. However, in really cold weather, they need shelter, warmth, and protection just as any other dog would to avoid problems like frostbite and hypothermia.

However, Chinooks may have trouble adjusting to high temperatures and high humidity since their thick double coat makes them more prone to overheating, particularly while doing strenuous activity. It is crucial in such instances to provide them plenty of shade, and clean water, and to keep them indoors during the warmest portions of the day.

Chinook dogs thrive in cooler regions since that is where they were originally from. They nevertheless need careful monitoring and environmental adjustments during very cold or hot weather to guarantee their comfort and safety.
