International Tamaskan Forum

I would also add that if one were to enroll in one of the online Canine Genetics courses such as Canine Population Genetics, ALL of the breeds involved in these classes are bemoaning the fact that their stud books are closed. There is great tragedy on the horizon for many of these AKC recognized br...

Kona looks all grown up!

So show up with a rented trailer next time and fancy assessories

When Skye drowned, she told everyone that he died on the same day it happened.

Why the special treatment?

Congrats! So when is the baby making?

What about my dog? He has tested negative for wolf content. I don't think he looks like a gsd.

Nice looking dog. He doesn't really look gsd to me either

Cool article. Does this change the tamaskan breed standard in any way?

IMO it seems lots of tams appear too GSDish right now. I was telling my uncle about tams and him being a gsd owner just said it looks like a gsd face What dogs are you looking at? Some look a little GSDish, others not so much. I might have easier time pointing out the ones that don't look as much g...

Moving on, I wonder if the Sulimov dog would make a good outcross. I read that this jackdog hybrid is used in Russian Airports to sniff out explosives due to its sharp sense and that they have a mix of Lapponian Herders, Siberian Huskies, and a diluted golden jackal content. While the F1 jackdogs f...

Well then I guess its kind of conflicting to be able to be recognized as a breed and not building a larger foundation

Just curious becuz i would like to learn....Isn't it dangerous for the breed for us to start naming any dogs for outcrossing? How did internationally kennel recognized breeds like huskies, golden retrievers, gsd, etc. Establish in gene pool and population over the past few hundred years with limited...

Are you guys planning to add ancd? I know there was some talk before

Looks like high content wolf dog or at least mid content with some kind of wolf mimic breed. It looks more wolf than a 50% content wolf dog I've seen

Along the same vein why doesn't the breed standard include white or black phase coat colors? These appear in wolves as well

I stumbled upon this website while researching Tamaskans.

http://www.tamaskandogregister.com/blog.html

Seems this dude really has it in for the TDR. Any idea who this is and why he's so angry that he would make a website called "www.tamaskandogregister.com?"

Off topic but why are Blufawn and Blustag no longer part of the TDR and what are the repercussion of this to the breed as a whole?

I know Czech Wolf dog groups want to almost crucify Tamaskan groups due to the claims of "wolf dog without the wolf." Especially after a certain couple of breeders actively looked to outcross Tamaskans with Czech wolf dogs and raised everyone's red flags. In fact they would go out of their way just...

Personally I feel like the Tamaskan is the more "perfected" wolf dog. It is undeniable that there will forever be traces of wolf in the Tamaskan due to the foundation dogs and the origins of Edwina Harrison's wolf dogs. However, those Northern Inuit lines had such a small gene pool that it would run...

J/W what's to prevent the out crossing to end up looking like Northern Inuit or Utonogan? Its already heard to tell them apart

Anyone spinning any ideas on reducing the Tamaskan ear size? I don't know if it's just me but in pictures it looks like there is a lot of variety in Tamaskan ear size still.

I'm curious if other dog owners would follow on by calling the Tamaskan a mutt and not an actual breed? When is a breed really a breed and not a mutt? From a evolutionary standpoint I fail to see the black and white line.

Anyone have pictures of what a golden retriever crossed with a Tamaskan would look like?

Hi everyone, My name is Stephen and I've been trying to figure out what kind of dog I wanted in the future after I get my first house. My gf has a maltese, bichon, and golden retriever and I've taken care of a Jack Russell terrier for awhile. She was really energetic and I ran her 3x a day. But I ev...
