I believe that the earliest age a puppy can be imported here is around 15 weeks.

Taz

It's a difficult one, on the one hand in a culture where dogs are companions etc it's understandable that the idea of eating them makes me feel uneasy, however, to other cultures cows are sacred, what must they think of us? I imagine they experience the same feeling of shock? Outrage? I can accept t...

Taz

Think there might be some still looking for homes.

Taz

You're looking at 2 years hard work, the dog has to be capable of going anywhere, exposed to everything you can think of, objects, people, places, has to be able to handle public transport, behave itself in restaurants etc. Its a full time Job, with no guarantee of success, and if they don't have wh...

Taz

You will need to find a dog with the desire to work close with a person, but with the ability to learn to act on there own initiative. It's not just enough to choose a breed because they're supposed to be inteligent, and there's a reason guide dog organisations breed there own, and more importantly ...

Taz

Pretty girl.

Taz

There's reports that the little sh*t that did it, had been hospitalized after a dog attack. No way justifies what he did imo.

Taz

Seriously? I hadn't heard that any had been stolen, hope they've got them back.

Taz

I found this interesting, thoughts?

The issues with the csv might be because people want a dog that is more likely to fit in with the average pet owner. I like the csv breed, I'd like to own one someday, but they're a special or should that be specialist breed, that most people aren't suited for, even more so than huskies. But this is...

Taz

Funny you look at that as terrible news, I suppose not coming from a country in which it used to be that because of the strict criteria, most puppies were around 10 months before they could legally enter without quarantine time, might give you that perspective, for us in the UK having the rules rela...

Taz

Lovely boy.

Taz

I like Wolverine and Polaris.

Taz

Ok thanks.

Taz

Pretty girl.

Taz

Which ones are still available?
I'm interested.

Taz

I guess it's horses for courses. If I had dogs that were fantastic with all unfamiliar dogs, I might like the idea. One of mine would love that kind of environment, one would be fine if there were no adult entire males, and the other, would probably accept any dog that was already in the park the ve...

Taz

Imo, any dog that would go into attack a dog showing such obvious non threatening signals as rolling on its back, as yours did, isn't an alpha, its a bully and needs to have its interactions with other dogs carefully controlled. I'm glad that I don't live in a country where dog parks are a norm, sou...

Taz

The Utonagan had some collie used in it, so its not exactly adding anything that hasn't already been done. Some of the show rough Collies are small, but the smooth's aren't, some are quite tall infact. They're totally different to the border collie. Its about compromise, you can't have everything in...

Taz

I think some smooth collie would be ok, or maybe some sort of cross.

Taz

I find an authoritative oi affective in stopping peoples out of control offspring, whilst simultaneously attracting the attention of their parents. Though I don't tend to have this issue very often. I think people see the dogs, take a look at me, and change their mind, apparently I don't look very a...

Taz

It's important not to confuse reactiveness and aggression. A reactive dog is a dog who will display a bunch of behaviors (lunging, barking, growling and carrying on) until the perceived threat goes away or he/she moves away from it. A aggressive dog is one who, without trigger will quietly and sudd...

Taz

Glad you're making progress with him.
Now if only I could sort out cato's territorial agro.

Taz

Its interesting isn't it? Cato my estrela was really dark as a puppy, with black legs, we thought he'd turn out to be a dark fawn, but if you've ever seen any pics of him, you'll know he isn't. Likewise, one of his sisters is blue, she had a really striking silver sheen to her coat as a puppy, the o...

Lovely looking lad, what's his temperament like?

Taz

I'm curious who he is too.

Taz

The breeders listed on http://www.tamaskan-dog.org are the ones you want to contact. Out of the other two, the Blustag USA one is a puppy mill, the other guy is an associate of his I believe.

Taz

Lovely boy.

Gorgeous, esp the one in the last pic.

Another Q, quarrel.

I like Quarric *adds to list*.
There's Quary too, Actually can't believe I missed that one when going through Q.

Taz

I'd like to see Millan try this on a human, if only. I've seen many parodies of these ethically-questionable methods of his. I don't want to start discussion about him or his methods. You can use it ONLY, if you have enough feeling and If you know EXACTLY what you're doing. In this case, there's no...

Taz

I know a trainer who took on a Dobermann as an older puppy, said he was the most difficult dog she's ever worked with. Inside the house brilliant, outside, completely overstimulated by everything. She used a dogmatic headcollar, don't know if you can get them where you are, I like them, tough and se...

Taz

How much would it cost to import to the uk? Never imported before so just working out whether it is a viable option for me at the moment.

Taz

Have they all found homes yet? They're gorgeous.

Taz

As well as health results, what are their temperaments like?

Taz

They're all gorgeous, have they found homes yet?

Taz

For me personally, I would like to see solid white/black added to the standard. Because even though the coloring might not be exactly the same as wild wolves, they still mimic the variation of colors in wild wolves very closely. I think therein lies part of the problem... we still (as a whole) have...

Taz

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't believe the tamaskan is at the stage where potentially valuable genetic material in terms of diversity, should be lost due to arbitrary things like colour and incorrect masking. Perhaps when the breed has an effective population size that isn't comp...

Taz

Congrats.
I'm currently trying to objectively evaluate which breed of dog I'm going for next, and all of these new tamaskan puppies are testing my impartiality.

Taz

Oh, I am so tempted, would have to be a female though, have been planning for another dog, but was thinking more later this year, early next year, providing the landlord doesn't mind me having another of course. Hmm.

Taz

Was there an orange league? Or am I imagining it? It really has been a long time, hello nostalgia, lol. I now have the Team Rocket theme tune stuck in my head, that's going to get annoying. And what the hell was with that GS ball? Erm, it was GS wasn't it? I do wish sometimes that I had the depth pe...

Taz

There are 700 + now!
Bloody hell, I remember when there were only 150, for some reason thinking about it makes me feel old, lol.

Taz

So, someone can breed wolfdog's, and then spend 20 years or more selecting dogs with the most desirable temperament traits, and they wouldn't consider them domestic animals? That I'm afraid, is total crap.
There are csv that aren't at F20 and they're an FCI recognized breed.

Taz

And some collie.

Taz

One of my girls is leash reactive, and I'd love to share some of the tips we've learned to manage it. The most important thing is that I always have food on me. Caveat: it has to be HIGH value treat. Regular (read: boring) treats that she gets for obedience and trick training are not enough of a mo...

Taz

P. S. I know you stated you don't have any friends local, but perhaps the owner of one of her dog friends might be willing to help. Or if you come across someone on a walk particularly if it's someone you've seen before, and their dog is calm, and you've got the space, perhaps ask if you can paralle...

Taz

As someone with reactive dogs, I can certainly sympathize with you. A lot of it is going to be helped by managing distance, I run on the idea that looking is fine, eyeballing, lunging and barking isn't. You say that before you let her go play, you expect calm, this is good, do you do this with on le...
