That's wonderful news! Congrats.

WhiteElkStag

White Elk Tamaskan now has a full waiting list of 10 people. Congratulations to everyone who is on our list! We hope to have a litter soon and can't wait to help you add a new member to your family.

WhiteElkStag

I'm glad to hear that she is doing well! Congratulations on the beautiful pups.

WhiteElkStag

Wow, he looks a lot like Auri. Have any Dingo boys been imported to the US?

WhiteElkStag

Glad you found us. Feel free to ask anything you're curious about. Welcome to the forum!

WhiteElkStag

These look amazing!

Amen

I'm going to need to join Hawthorne and Karen on this one. Enjoy the conversation.

WhiteElkStag

I'll accept two types of proof: 1) Peer reviewed scientific literature. 2) Proof that adding a dog without SA to a breed with severe SA has helped to fix the SA in the breed. I am in favor of outcrossing only to improve the breed as a whole. The goal with every single mating whether it is between tw...

WhiteElkStag

Terrible loss. RIP Zeus.

WhiteElkStag

Why wouldn't you? It would be rare/a pain to find two unrelated pairs that don't suffer from it. The breed is littered with SA ranging from mild - severe. I'm not understanding why outcrossing to get genetic diversity and to help the breed with SA is an issue. Not all tams are like your girl were o...

WhiteElkStag

Why do we need to outcross to address SA? Out of our three girls, only Rhea has issues with SA and then only if we leave her outside of her crate. If we bed her down before we leave she knows that she's secure and snoozes until we get home. If there are already dogs within the breed who do not exhib...

WhiteElkStag

Interesting point Ciaobella, but the breed is already fairly healthy. We are in the long-run more worried about maintaining genetic diversity than health disorders. Careful breeding over the next few generations should be able to largely breed out all of the genetic health disorders currently presen...

WhiteElkStag

Congratulations!

WhiteElkStag

No car sickness so far. She took to the back of the Prius without any problems and even tried to play with Rhea and Sophie on the drive home from Hawthorne.

Rhea and Sophie are being playful and protective, while also teaching her proper behavior. They're watching her even more closely than we are.

WhiteElkStag

Check out our FB page for more pictures now: http://www.facebook.com/whiteelktamaskan She's getting along great with Rhea and Sophie. They're definitely working out how to live together peacefully, but they're already loving playing together and Auri is already taking her behavioral cues from Rhea a...

WhiteElkStag

Our beautiful new puppy arrived today from the UK. Her name is Blufawn Sunshine on My Shoulders at White Elk and we will be calling her Auri (short for Aurielle). She is from Dingo x Zuul, and was born on the 21st of March, 2012.

WhiteElkStag

She's in the air from Frankfurt to Philly! Hope she's doing alright. This is a big trip for a little dog. We'll have to give her lots and lots of love when she gets here.

WhiteElkStag

She just touched down in Frankfurt where she will be cared for by the Frankfurt kennel staff for the rest of the day. Then she'll fly direct from Frankfurt to Philly where we get to pick her up!

WhiteElkStag

Yup, new blood. I don't think that there's a Dingo pup in the States yet so she will be an important genetic resource for us as we continue to work to improve the breed.

Will do! If not here, definitely on our Facebook page. Easier to upload in batches.

HAHAH! That's a great image.

There will be plenty. At least now other people will be able to tell the difference between our dogs!

WhiteElkStag

Love the idea Tracy. We'll be in touch. Fill us in on more details when we see you next week?

WhiteElkStag

Hi candicelynn, we would be glad to help you with any questions you might have. We're planning a litter for this upcoming fall. Feel free to send us an email at WhiteElkTamaskan@gmail.com.

WhiteElkStag

Drat! If his maternal line wasn't almost exactly the same as our girls' we would pick him up in a heartbeat.

WhiteElkStag

He's such a beauty! Someone needs to adopt this boy.

WhiteElkStag

Welcome to the forum! Glad you found us. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

WhiteElkStag

Great, thanks for the update Tracy. Hope this all works out.

WhiteElkStag

Hey All,
One of the people on our waiting list pointed out this news story to us a few minutes ago:

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/6at4/story? ... id=8713906

Does anyone know of a missing Tam in Philly?

WhiteElkStag

Those are adorable! I had no idea chickens could be silver.

WhiteElkStag

Ah hah! This is the beautiful pup that you adopted. We're so glad that she's settling in well. She's a beautiful girl. Feel free to give us a call if you ever need advice again.

WhiteElkStag

Great idea Karsten. Perhaps we could use cyber-tours and skype in lieu of actual visits to cut down the costs.

WhiteElkStag

I know the tests aren't 100%, but how accurate are they? It's a lot of money to pay if it was only 50% accurate for example. That's the problem Kylievr, there doesn't seem to be ANY information out there about the accuracy or veracity of the tests. This test could theoretically come out positive on...

WhiteElkStag

I don't think that its necessary for a third-party to hold the records. I do think that it is necessary that whoever holds the records do so in a way that makes them accessible and proof from adulteration. The Tamaskan Database is a great start on this.

WhiteElkStag

I've been looking around for anything discussing the science behind the wolf-hybrid test, and I can't find any independent research. I can only find what UC Davis is saying about it themselves. I wouldn't recommend that anyone use this test until we can find more information about it.

WhiteElkStag

Tracy,
I think that the owners should have the proper pedigrees for their dogs. This needs to be something that the entire TDR recognizes, acknowledges and addresses. The only way to prevent future controversy of this sort is to ensure that we all conduct business in an open and transparent way.

WhiteElkStag

Thanks Rahne!

WhiteElkStag

Yup, we'll have a puppycam too. We'll post a url as things progress.

WhiteElkStag

White Elk Tamaskan has been talking with Tracy and Ben at Hawthorne Tamaskan for the last few days and we have decided that Darwin will sire our first litter! He and Sophie both have excellent hips, they are both clear of DM, and they are both healthy energetic and intelligent dogs. So the litter sh...

WhiteElkStag

I'm going to get the Catrike "Road" and Kira is getting the "Trail". We're both really excited about this.

WhiteElkStag

Hey All, Kira and I are thinking of buying a pair of recumbent trikes with a rig for exercising Rheq and Sophie. We've found a set-up which we really like, but we were hoping you all might have some input. I'm a little reluctant about the harness positioning and design. It connects the dog to the ri...

WhiteElkStag

How old is she now? She's so young that I wouldn't be too worried about her not learning commands like sit and stay right now. We had a lot of success teaching Rhea and Sophie how to make eye contact with us "look" and "stop" their knock it off command when they were that young. Its totally possible...

WhiteElkStag

RIP Dexter. Best of luck to you and your family in the upcoming year.

WhiteElkStag

Looking at the numbers at least one of those females must be lightly coloured! Interesting genetics...

WhiteElkStag

Kira actually just squeed. Beautiful pups!

WhiteElkStag

Get in touch with Lynn and see if she might be willing to let you transfer the deposit to Pete. She was kind enough to let us do that for one of our girls while we left the other deposit with her for a male in the future.

WhiteElkStag

I don't know Pete... after your last naming scheme this natural wonders of the world idea seems awfully well... down to Earth. I love the idea! 7 males and 3 females, wow. Congratulations. I wonder if they'll grow up to look just like their older brothers and sisters. Whenever we tell people that Rh...

WhiteElkStag

10 pups!?! Congrats Pete, Odin and Frigga! I can't wait to see a picture of the little ones.
