He's a beautiful dog! In the pictures in your album, he still looks very puppy/unfinished; like he's just entering into a growth spurt. It would be nice to see some updated pics of him, as others have said. I'm not breeding yet, but I'm looking into it, and it's always nice to have options. Hopefull...

Exceedingly late reply.... I work as the Overnight Guest Service Agent/Auditor for a hotel. I balance the books, flip the business day, as well as all the responsibilities of checking a guest in/out, helping them with questions, etc. It's great because my roommate is home at night with the dogs, and...

I got two kittens from a litter of barn cats from my parent's neighbor back in Upstate NY. I was very concerned for them, having rural genes and growing up in a city, so I did tie them out in the backyard and walked them around my neighborhood on a leash. They did learn to look both ways before cros...

You'd think they'd put the effort they do into discrediting reputable breeders into their own animals. Very sad.

ASaroka

That's good to know! I was concerned that maybe it was from one of the less reputable ones that are popular that may have gotten loose. Glad someone picked her up. That shelter has a high turnover rate

I didn't know where to post this, or if this is even a tamaskan dog, but one of my friends who know I'm into Tamaskans told me one was available at the SPCA in Pittsburgh. The dog is just labeled "GSD mix". http://www.wpahumane.org/lost-and-found #A194191 BAKER under "Search Lost Pets" Did anyone se...

This happened in Pittsburgh back in spring of 2012. A woman who was known for rehabilitating troubled dogs and adopting them out acquired a troubled husky. She went to the restroom, leaving her toddler on a blanket with toys and said husky in the room together alone. She comes back and the dog is on...

I had the same problem with my dog. I also went through everything and ended up with a prong collar i with a dog backpack that weighed 10 lbs (4.5kg) a few times a week. It was a miracle. I'm not sure how old Wylie is, but Ianto didn't calm down and not pull until he was 5; loose leash walk, listeni...

250 check outs today and 240 check ins. Work is going to be super busy at the end of my shift and the beginning of the next.

I have often turned to books--I love a good read. I have the speech loaded to listen to on my way home from work :D Looking at the beautiful b/w pic of that GSD reminded me of Ianto's body type: 3 months after he turned 3 years: 379316_10200747191466433_1560701794_n.jpg At a little over 3 years and ...

He does have a great mask, yeah?

From reading about a Seppala Kennel in Wyoming, they're seemingly more social yet easy-going than other Sibe lines. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deer-Creek-Sleddogs/183371828905 http://www.deercreeksleddogs.com/males.html Some of the links are broken on the deercreek page, but Monkey is definitely...

From reading through so many breeder websites trying to find the right breeding animal, and going through a myriad of racing kennels, imo, there seems to be some animosity between the two. I feel that some AKC problems stem from a perfect pedigree of AKC dogs for 15+ generations. A lot of kennels bo...

ASaroka

WL Sibes, on the other hand, are compact, lithe, working machines, IMO, how the breed should have ALWAYS stayed. They are bred on intelligence, drive, health, and leadership capabilities. Some of the biggest boys in WL that I know of push 50, maybe 55. That's it; and it's leg, fur and lung. Ianto is...

ASaroka

I had a long response that I lost :|.... I completely agree. I own an AKC Sibe. When I first purchased Ianto, the breeder was reputable (1-2 litters a year). But when her focus drifted to child beauty pageants, which is the only thing on her FB page now (she has 4 kids), her litters went to 2-3 a ye...

I'm thinking of Pyry or Saroka for a kennel name. Can't decide whether I want to go with my Lithuanian or Finnish roots. Pyry can go with more things than Saroka...

That quick list is a great help! I have a book or two on breeding, but they're all encompassing. I'm excited to start reading those! I have a lot of books on dog training as I'm hedging into that field and taking steps to enter Animal Behavioral College to be a dog trainer. Training and breeding for...

In total, the puppy + rear dewclaw removal + 4x deworming series + EU Pet Passport + microchip + first set of core puppy vaccinations + International Health Certificate + TRACES documents (required for EU export) + TDR registration/ownership certificates + puppy's DNA profiles (AKC & ISAG markers) ...

I'm sorry if I missed something, but aren't you all agree that CSW, Saarloos etc are dogs now, because their wasn't any recent adding of wolf blood and are all more then 5 generations away from wolf?? Again, I'm sorry if I missed something, but in this case they are legal and aren't wolfdogs anymor...

There must have been an incident recently. When I was looking to get a savannah cat a few years ago--not that I could afford it (not paying $15,000 for an animal unless it's a winning race horse)--it was allowed by the city and state. Now my city doesn't allow. Bummer. On a different note, at the do...

ASaroka

Makes sense. From earlier posts, it seemed that nothing was good to cross with except another Tam for some. I would be open to getting a dog or two for Tam owners to cross out with for genetic diversity purposes. I was already looking at CWDs or a GSD/husky mix.

ASaroka

I feel like this thread is cycling back on itself... It does seem that we're cycling through the breeds that we're looking into for outcrosses with the same ones being mentioned and rementioned. I want to be a breeder, so I went through and read the whole thread. I like the idea of a Groen, but the...

ASaroka

That is a really neat page. Don't know french, just a word here or there, but I noticed that in a lot of the older pictures (black and white ones), just about all the dogs have brown eyes. Wonder how/where the blue got in there...

I know of a kennel in western Canada http://www.seppalakennels.com/ A FB friend of mine, Jaye Foucher, breeds racing Sibes and some have made it over to Europe and Russia. I'm sure through her, and her friends list on FB, you could find some racing kennels in Europe. One of her dogs, Wolf, I'm very ...

ASaroka

Also, I think this is just the coolest looking dog. I think it actually does have some wolf in it (obviously not a whole lot), but it is blue merle. So interesting! http://i39.tinypic.com/qzmd6x.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/dp8n01.jpg There is a Siberian Husky breeder in TN that has a Merle Sibe name...

I usually call my dog Ianto (named for Ianto Jones from Torchwood) or Bud, Buddy, Buds. When he's in trouble, he gets called Dog.

Sometimes I wish I had friends in Asia so I could talk to them when I'm on break at work. Night Audit is fun, but then you sleep all day

When I save up enough money, and find the right tattoo artist, I'm going to get this one on my back.

I'll probably clean up the body a little; I don't like how it flows. I have a bunch of crow/raven/magpie and a tiger done in that style.

ASaroka

I'm thinking Ithaca then. Wow. That's a lot closer than I thought.

ASaroka

Indeed! That's only, what, 6-8 hours on 80 depending on traffic? Maybe I can visit sometime? I'd love to see some Tamaskans!

ASaroka

Thanks! This is an awesome idea! I'm glad someone thought this up.

Hello! I've been interested in Spitz and Wolf-looking dogs for ages. I currently own a red/white Siberian who the city people think is a wolf or a coyote depending on the borough I'm in. I'm looking for a companion for him as he's quite large (25" at the shoulder, 28" long and 70lbs) and while I cou...
