Welcome! As far as I am aware, Outback is planning a Tamaskan X Tamaskan litter in the near future. With regard to importing, puppies must have 0% wolf content so finding a suitable Tamaskan litter to import a puppy can be a little challenging, plus the overall costs are quite high due to the import...

Re: Is Bamboo Rice really healthy?

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.

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/...

It depends a lot on the bloodline, as well as the specific combination.
