International Tamaskan Forum

Hi Mandy, At this time, I don't have any puppies currently available as we only have a couple of litters per year, usually spread out in the summer and winter months. However, we are building our waiting list for our upcoming litter(s) and we are currently accepting deposits to join the waiting list...

Welcome to the forum!

I think bamboo rice is just a filler material, much like regular rice, or sweet potato, etc... it's fine to mix into the food now or then, or in small quantities, but it shouldn't form a main portion of the daily diet.

Heya! Some Tamaskan owners have regular meet-ups in their local area, and some national clubs have annual meet-ups at certain locations every year. However, as there are no breeders in Alabama, your closest meet-up would probably be in Texas, which would be quite a drive...

Heya! Long time, no see! I'm glad to hear Cindy is still going well, even after all these years. A few of us "oldies" are still around, but a lot of breeders/owners disappeared over the years (or moved over to the Facebook groups instead). I haven't been keeping up with the forum much late...

Is it going to be possible to get a tamaskan stud on my dog? Or is she a mutt and too bad so sad? Not without health testing. THAT is first and foremost. IF she has full health testing and good results, then she could qualify as an outcross and be eligible for breeding... but health testing always ...

Has she been health tested? The minimum requirements to qualify for breeding are: hip / elbow x-rays + evaluation, cardiac exam, eye exam, and DNA testing for MDR1 + DM (ideally Embark or MyDogDNA panel test). Without health testing, it's just irresponsible breeding... regardless of pedigree, or lac...

There will be a new Tervueren outcross soon (if all goes to plan)!

Welcome to the forum, Dana!

Welcome to the forum! Tamaskan Dogs are somewhat more stubborn and independent compared to border collies, but they are equally intelligent and fast learners. However, they are easier to train than huskies or malamutes, and usually have better recall too! You can see more info here: www.sylvaen.com/...

Welcome to the International Tamaskan Forum!

Hmmm good question! You might want to check at your local Home Depot (or similar store) to see what products they sell, which are also safe for dogs...

In terms of temperament/character, Tamaskan Dogs are somewhat in the middle between a German Shepherd and a Siberian Husky. Meanwhile, a mix of those 2 breeds could behave more like one breed, or the other, or have some traits of both... it's a bit of a gamble since it is a first-generation cross, v...

I just use a generic mild puppy shampoo from our local pet store.

Welcome to the forum, Ida!

3 of our Sylvaen puppies live in Finland (Saga and Arek, and now, more recently, Huma)... they are ideally suited to the Finnish climate/habitat/landscape.

Welcome back to the forum (and thanks for the update!)
Jack & Jim sill look as healthy and happy as ever

Hey all, I'm not sure where to put this, but I just found out that a puppy mill called Tegha Kennel in India (most Kennels are puppy mills here) is claiming to sell Tamaskan puppies here. This is an outright scam since the puppy is very clearly just a husky or husky/mal mix at most, and nowhere in ...

Will share pics when we get her

Wonderful

RIP Zuul <3

I'm so sorry to hear that... what was the illness?

During our dog outings with various groups, we do note that she has a slight fear of cowboys/cowgirls, mainly an issue with hats casting a shadow on a person's face as they approach her. We are working on that one. Hmmm that's interesting... one other pup has a fear of people wearing baseball caps....

It depends a lot on the bloodline, as well as the specific combination. Litters that are higher in wolf content (over 20%) will potentially be more fearful and/or have more primitive/instinctual reactions to certain situations. Furthermore, within a single litter there can be quite a variety of temp...

Hmmm I'm not sure about "shop own brand puppy dried food" and dry kibble is definitely not all the same... there's a huge range from extremely low quality to super premium quality. I'm not familiar with the Bakers brand, but I would suggest a grain-free high quality (super premium) dry kib...

I just updated the list

When it's 100% a go I will let u know.

OK

Welcome back!

Which litter are you getting a pup from? I'm looking forward to seeing photos!

Welcome to the forum, Ashley!

No problem! I've updated the list once more

Welcome to the forum!

Somehow I missed this original thread... I agree with the others that it is better to wait. Ideally, around 18-24 months old is a good age to sterilize as that's when the growth plates are closed and the dog is fully mature / properly developed. Since she is lacking confidence, which is relatively c...

Welcome to the forum! It's good that you're doing lots of research well in advance. After reading everything you wrote, it sounds like a Tamaskan would be a good match for your lifestyle. :D As for Tamaskan prey drive, the more I read the more it becomes clear: Tamaskans vary so much, so general pre...

No problem! It's a nice video, on the surface, but it seems risky to me... the dog and cat obviously get along great together, but there are so many variables / potential risks for the cat, in particular: hawks / other dogs / poisoned food or rodents / traffic / etc. I guess I just worry too much to...

OK great

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm in the process of planning a big enclosure in my garden that has to be suitable both for my cat and hopefully, one day soon, my future Tamaskan dog. It's not easy, as the space is pretty big (approximately 400 square meters) and also because cats and dogs are apparently 2 different sorts of esc...

I see. This is very interesting, for me. My cat is a very weird combination of the two temperaments you describe, he's definitely not a laptop cat and he's generally very independent and occasionally stubborn but he's also goofy, very friendly and extremely playful... he's also very energetic and a...

No problem!

Just let me know when you're ready and we can schedule a visit

I think it really depends on the individual dog... some Tamaskans are very cat-like: a bit aloof, stubborn and independent... while others are very dog-like: goofy, friendly, playful, eager-to-please, etc. Some breeds (Shiba Inu, for instance) are much more cat-like overall. We have 5 adult cats and...

Welcome to the forum and sorry for the slow response. :) I live between Northern Italy (big city) and Tuscany (rural, pretty wild area) and I’m looking for a dog to add to my small family: my cat and I. It is a couple of months now that I have been reading and researching Tamaskans, trying to decide...

Hmmm there are quite a few Tams in the USA with showing titles now (via ARBA, ICE, IABCA, etc)...

hmmm good question! I would say: make sure you have enough time to spend with your Tamaskan... they're incredible dogs and they deserve as much of our attention as possible. :) Also, be prepared to deal with a lot of fluff/fur and plenty of comments along the lines of "omg is that a real wolf?&...

ooh I'm so sorry to hear this diagnosis... from what I understand, Cushing's disease is the exact opposite to Addison's disease, which is relatively common (in certain bloodlines) within the breed.
