That sounds a nightmare Rahne...... must be so hard to plan anything etc. It is so hard with bitches in particular to know what to do...... have never had a bitch spayed before myself but really wondering if it may be the right thing for Sashy ???? Tricky one
Yes....interesting point arianwenarie and yes she is very aware of what they are doing all the time and nips their bums if they go near the children if they are playing outside with a ball for example, or if i shout them to stop something (normally barking!) she will nudge them or growl a bit at the...
Thank you everyone for your opinions and advice....need a long hard think :? Yes Hawthorne I do agree that a certain amount is normal and when all 9 of ours are together you will always get the odd little grumble here and there although Mums golden retriever Harriet is the boss for sure and keeps ev...
Well Debby it was really at the time I would have liked to have done it with Sash everything was coming out about Blustag etc and I was a little concerned about what would happen with the breed etc. Also I am not sure about how high the demand is for Tams in England as I wouldn't want my pups going ...
yes it is such a hard decision to make for me and I do worry about the possibility of spaying changing her nature for the worse, as I have heard can sometimes happen , as she is in every other way a very sweet girl. It is strange because Sasha will happily lick leftovers off a plate with any of the ...
No...she is the same with them all the time really but suffers from the moods and drop in appetite mainly after her seasons. I worry about any negative side effects of spaying also and wondered if anyone had experienced any at all ??? She only has one season a year but with moods starting before her...
Hello everyone :) :) :) I was just hoping that some people may have some experience / knowledge or advice on my little dilemma !! I have a Tamaskan Sasha who is 4 1/2 years old and from Sky / Susi . She is now a very lovely and incredibly sweet girly who is very patient and gentle with our young chi...
Thank you so much for that Debby!!! As I said it makes no difference to us here at all but I just wanted to know her "wolfy" status for sure. Although I haven't posted here in a while I have been quite aware of what has happened with Lynn and Jenni which is sad although not altogether supprising to ...
Hi all........ I haven't posted here in a long time as life takes over and with two young children , doing as you wish is just a distant memory!! I proudly own my wonderful girl Sasha who is a four year old Tamaskan from Blustag ( yes I know now!!!!!) who after many tricky years has become the most ...
Wow....every time I check back on here I see something else that shocks and disapoints me about Lynn. Is anything she has ever said been true!! For gods sake did she really think that she was going to get away with selling puppies to people with totally false descriptions of the temperaments behind ...
At no time have I said to anyone they cannot see certain dogs as was stated by someone on here. Most visitors travel for hours to get here and even come from across the sea so I make sure that they see all the dogs and get as much information as possible. After a long time of not speaking out here ...
Welcome I have a 2 1/2 year old Tamaskan living here very happily with 3 other dogs and two very young children and she is wonderful with both lots . We live in Shrewsbury so if that is not too far you are most welcome to meet Sasha here and see how she is with my lot
I was never sure....I asked many times to meet Lynns other Tams at her home before we got Sash but she was always busy then when we visited the pups and picked Sasha up Susi was not there and was not bought out to see us although we asked a couple of times. I have never had a puppy before when I ha...
So the bitch in those photos is Nevada? Yes I believe so. Here are some pics from Nevada with her litter with Skye in 2011 (American States litter): http://www.tamaskan-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1666 Thank you for the links to that topic, I believe so too, they look very much alike. Wow...seri...
Wow...serious stuff. Apalling behaviour from anyone who claims have the best interests of dogs at heart. I am glad Sasha looks like her mother as as we were not allowed to meet Susi when we picked up Sasha from Lynns house, I would start to have my doubts. Just not on at all
I really do hope that no real temperament problems begin to creep into this wonderful breed. I think above all else breeders really must put a good steady confident nature and trustworthy charictar top of their list when picking breeding dogs. Yes hips , eyes , DM and looks are important but if a do...
What a beautiful puppy I hope she continues to do as well as she has been.Well done for your work with this little cutie and i hope she finds a great home when she is ready
I do disagree about experience, though. I don't really think the Tamaskan is for a person who has never raised or owned a dog before. I don't think anyone said that, most people would agree that the Tamaskan isn't a breed for everyone. I do think though that it depends a lot on the bloodlines/combi...
Sasha was very much like this as a pup although she stopped it with us pretty quickly she didn't like strangers stroking her for a long time and would back right off. It would not faze me now at all as i understand her better but at the time i had only ever had gundogs who leap up and kiss everyone ...
I would like to send my sincere condolences for the loss of these two beautiful , special dogs. Although I have lost dogs due to illness at a fairly decent age, I cannot imagine how you must feel to have lost them to such an act of cruelty and malice. I am sure no words can help at all but we send a...
Well I have a two year old female Tamaskan and two children of three and six months and I must say Sasha has always been very sweet with them both and quite protective.The is some funny photographic evidence of this at the end of Sashas thread on the picture section! :lol: The only down side is they...
Yeah she is a tall girly although with her being quite slight of build and still fairly skinny she doesn't look as "WOW" big as she could if the was a bit more chunk about her :lol: It has taken a really long time to get her to gain weight and we still struggle but slowly it is going on and hopefull...
Hi ...I know they really never stop do they!! :lol: I actually had a springer when i had my Sasha (the tam) but we sadly lost him a few months after we got Sash when he was 11, then we got Bea my now 20 month old springer when Sasha was about 8 months!! I really cannot tell you how well they get on....
Hi and welcome I have a Tamaskan and a working type english springer spaniel and i have to say they get on like a house on fire!! Same fun attitude to life , love of play and boundless energy!! Prepare for some "fun" times if you get a Tam with your spaniel!!
Yeah Sasha does this big style when in season which she is now! Normally she prefers to do her "buisiness" in the garden but at the moment she is stopping every few metres and weeing and kicking up the earth with her back paws! :lol: It took about half an hour to walk down the lane to the field whic...
I think Tamaskans can have this same indifferent somewhat "cold" trait , although not all of them. My Sasha is very nearly two and has only just become really loving and bonded to us. I think as a very immature breed they can take a long time to develop their true charictars! :roll: Thankfully she i...
You have to remember that tams are real rough play dogs and while they would love and accept a tiny dog just as well as a larger dog in most cases the simple mechanics of "how do they actually play together" can cause problems. Sasha lives here with , as well as other dogs , a very very small jack r...
Awww I do love Konah She is looking great. I really do see alot of Sasha in her face and build but then I do think we have mentioned this before Rahne!! Lovely pictures as always.
Very true... I agree it would be so foolish to choose a stud dog for your bitch based on geography alone. Alot of people do in dog breeding though ,frequently using even their own dogs one would assume to save on stud fees and travel. However questionable as this is the is some great advantages to i...
So sorry to read this. He looked to be a lovely handsome boy and I am sure you and your girls will miss him very much. How lovely though that you gave him such a great life after such a difficult start to it. RIP Bruno xxx
Sorry to disapoint you all but you might just have to make do with the Ookami x Sasha litter we are planning later this year / early next!! Health test dependant of course. Sorry!!
