I have met many adult Tamaskan (over 100) and I do not recognize this: 'extremely nervy. Fearful of people and new situations, prone to bolting if off lead, lots and lots of anxiety.' There's a handful of individuals that I know that could be called nervous/fearfull, but the majority is social and f...

Update:

Blustag Lightning Strike (Leo), from the 2nd Susi x Jackal litter, sadly passed away this month at only 6,5 years of age. He had been having seizures at roughly monthly intervals for 3,5 years.

Hi, I would not spay so young. I believe the advice to spay before 1st heat cycle is very outdated. Newer research shows it is better to let the dog mature first. So for Tamaskan this would be around 3 years of age. Also just because you don't want to breed her does not mean you must spay. There's h...

1) Is it the information in the original post that is being updated as new information comes up? Or is it being updated somewhere else? Yes the original post is being updated. 2) In the listing of affected dogs in specific pairings, is each occurrence, even of different conditions, an individual do...

Another case of Addison's has shown up, list is updated :( Just want to say that this is an impressive work which is shown in this topic. Congrats to all of you who are doing your best to keeping tracks of every disease for every dogs of every litters. Amazing seriousness, awesome work ! :) Glad it ...

Wolfsbane

I've updated the list, let me know if I'm missing anything. Unfortunately there have been 2 more cases (same litter) of the heart condition Subvalvular Aortic Stenosis. There has also been another case of Luxating Patellas.

'We' were hoping for a nice mix. Dogs with long legs but a bit more bulk than purebred Groenendael, good sized ears, straight tails, nice slender muzzles but a bit less extreme as Groenendael. I think all of them turned out really nice and as we hoped! As for the colour, we expected (and hoped for!)...

Wolfsbane

Hi Wolfsbane and thanks for your welcoming ^^ So, were you part of this crossing with a Groenendael ? Did you use your Tamaskan for this cross ? Are the pups now registered as proper Tamaskan ? I wish I could see some pictures :p I'm so curious, sorry ^/// I asked to the facebook Tamaskan group Boo...

Welcome :) I was one of the advocates to have a Groenendaeler added as outcross! I was so happy when we found a Groenendael female in the Netherlands for an outcross litter. I know many people had doubts... but I was always convinced it would be an awesome outcross, and those pups have not dissapoin...

Wolfsbane

To clear up some confusion... the database currently listed at: www.tamaskan-database.com is the one that was originally on the TDR website. At the time I was TDR secretary and maintained the TDR website. At some point I left the TDR and moved the database over to an independent domain because I wan...

I think a girl from Tasha x Gru is a good choice

Bindi X Jackal = Blustag River Phoenix (Apache) Vega X Sampo = Quicksilver Electrum (Drajen) & Quicksilver Sterling (Anju) Vala X Xantho = Sylvaen Vishimtar the Fallen (Kaito) The others I can't remember off the top of my head but the info should be here on the forum somewhere. Thanks for the help....

Wolfsbane

Yes Koda tested as a carrier, and then later on also one of his sisters.

Double J isn't registered with the TDR as far as I know. But some of the pups they bred, and are now used for breeding (Darwin & Kya), were.

Wolfsbane

Hoping someone can help me out... I'm adding markers to the online database but can't remember some of the dogs (their names) that were affected by Cryptorchidism. * Bindi x Jackal, 1 male? * Susi x Dingo, 2 males? (I know Mikko being one) * Tumanra x Rann, 1 male? (Diesel??) * Heidi x Rann, 1 male?...

Wolfsbane

Right, I understand that nearly all Tams have these lines, which is why (of course, pending on health scores) I'd be delighted to stud my dog. Great :) But because of these known risks associated with the BLs, shouldn't it mean that more outcrossed dogs need to be incorporated into the mix? Yes and...

Wolfsbane

However, it was brought to my attention to try and avoid dogs with Kyte, Cougar, and Paloose blood which is quite nearly every breeding Tamaskan in the US (except for those that are approved outcrosses, and perhaps those breeders who do not disclose their dog's pedigrees online). Not just in the US...

Wolfsbane

Is he from Leeloo x Midas? If so he hardly shares any relationship to the breeding Tamaskan dogs in the US except for Zephyr (who only sired a single litter). US breeders are having a difficult time finding suitable stud dogs because many are too closely related. It also isn't that easy to find suit...

Moonstone was never a part of the TBA as far as I know, they stopped breeding before the TBA was founded. Alba has bred several litters after getting back to the TDR, but as her dogs were not tested for DM (Degenerative Myelopathy), and this is a requirement, those litters were never registered. She...

I think Tala is on the top of the 'most used name for Tamaskan' list, or is it Luna? Also indeed several Tamaskan named Koda, Kota, Takoda, Takota. And don't forget Thor, Odin and Freyja next to Loki

In the Netherlands for 2016, probably Asha (from: http://www.sunkmanitu-tamaskan.nl/) and Ylva (from: http://www.vantaelsesluske.nl/) will be bred.

I've lived in an apartment with 3 dogs (2 Tamaskan), not a problem at all. I think my dogs might actually get more exercise than most dogs in our neighborhood who do have access to a garden, as those owners tend to just let the dog in the garden all day... Inside the house my dogs mostly sleep. The ...

Yup, and there's also many that don't... those who will destroy crates, tear up the house, howl / bark.
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Thanks for the reply. I guess it is just not fated, sigh. Maybe find another girlfriend :mrgreen: Sorry... that's maybe a bit mean of me.

Definition of companion: 1. A person who accompanies or associates with another; a comrade. A domestic partner. 2. A person employed to assist, live with, or travel with another. 3. One of a pair or set of things; a mate. The USA has a companion group, these are certainly not lazy dogs. Poodles for ...

Wolfsbane

There's a lot of different opinions on what the 'purpose' of the breed should be. It seems the Europeans like to describe the breed as a 'companion dog' foremost, but the Americans feel offended by that 'title' (companion dog = useless coach potato), and rather describe the Tamaskan as a working (sl...

Send them another email and ask for conformation (if they received the application). Of course life can be busy, emails can be forgotten... so always mail a 2nd time.

Nice example is Bobbi and his offspring. Owners can tell, if they are more challenging than average Tamaskan. I can answer that question for you... speaking of my own girl Konah, and I don't want to brag but... she is probably one of the most well behaved Tamaskan in existence :mrgreen: As a puppy ...

It is possible to set your dogs results on public now (so not necessary anymore to share it to everyone in private, yay!). They will show up in a list with other dogs that are also public, but this will only be visible to people who have a MyDogDNA account.

Yes we have around 500 Tamaskan now worldwide. The breed is very spread throughout the world, pretty amazing considering it is such a 'new' breed. US and UK have the biggest populations. Germany comes after that, around 50 Tamaskan I think by now? Other countries have smaller populations, ranging fr...
