Seems unfair to throw the yellow tennis ball into the green grass.

Ryphen

That last one looks like "Don't shoot, I've got my paws up!"

Ryphen

RIP, Bobbi. You will be missed.

Ryphen

RIP, little one. You will be missed.

Ryphen

Some crazy eyes in that middle picture.

Ryphen

I think there's an interaction between fish oil and vitamin E, so you have to watch how much you give.

Ryphen

Kumho always smells because if there's stagnant water around, he will find it and jump in it. >> Don't know if coconut oil is going to help with that. xD

Ryphen

I think that's what's confusing to people. Just because a dog is structurally and functionally able to do work, doesn't mean it's going to want to do it. Not every healthy Labrador becomes a seeing eye dog. Not every healthy German Shepherd becomes a police dog. Not because they physically can't do ...

Ryphen

Awesome!

Ryphen

What a handsome guy. May he rest in peace with his brother.

Ryphen

And some training. Not perfect, but not bad. You can tell which one has been doing this longer.

Ryphen

My guess would be people not pronouncing the second "t" when saying it. "Torono."

Ryphen

How to keep your Tamaskan busy.

Ryphen

There's also a group called Tamaskan Lovers that gets a good amount of traffic.

Ryphen

Told you most of this already, but will repost it here to keep things centralized. Kumho (J&J Moon River) is from the 2011 fall litter, so he'll be 3 years old in a couple of months. We're (Lori and Denver) located in Ravena, NY, which is about 20 miles south of Albany. You can probably find a few m...

Ryphen

Aww, I can remember when Kumho was that small. Feels like forever ago. He was neutered when he was about a year and a half old. We're up near Albany, NY.

Ryphen

We have Kumho, who is another brother to your guys from a previous Ruby and Jethro litter. I believe at around 8 weeks he weighed about 12 lbs. He was taken to the vet by the lady that picked him up, but returned him after about a week after realizing how much work a puppy was. :lol: So he became ou...

Ryphen

Good to hear you've got it sorted out. Hope she continues to do well.

Ryphen

Wow, you're even more north than we are. Welcome and enjoy your stay!

Ryphen

Should get her into modeling with those legs.

Ryphen

Some days I'm not so sure about "lowering blood pressure" and "decreasing stress."

Ryphen

Yesterday he decided he was going to "kill" my kitchen sponge.

I could probably attach anything to the end of it and he'd chase it. Might be a good time to finally do that fur project and save a scrap or two!

Ryphen

Kumho loves the cat version too. Can't play with it with the cats when he's around at all. Maybe I should look into getting a dog appropriate one.

Ryphen

I saw one when I was leaving work once. Wasn't expecting that. And I did see one that wasn't so lucky in crossing the road.

Ryphen

It's a wax you apply a thin layer of on the pads and between the toes.

Ryphen

They're up to 721 already? I don't think I've played since it was around 300. xD

Ryphen

Like most people, we have a towel hanging up in the bathroom. Kumho has decided that it shouldn't be hanging up and always pulls it down, sometimes dragging it out into the hallway. The two of us are in a constant battle of determining where the towel should be. He does it with the dishtowel too if ...

Ryphen

We adopted a rescue dog about a month ago to give Kumho some company. She's just over 4 years old and has no problem holding her own when it comes to roughhousing. She's even executed some very nice takedowns a wrestler would be proud of.

Ryphen

Kumho tolerates being brushed but I wouldn't say he's crazy about it. He will try to eat the hairballs though. And they don't even have to be his.

Ryphen

He also told another owner that he was going to retire Ivy and Willow because of their failing hip scores, but obviously hasn't. He seems to take better care of his dogs than RPK does, but still doesn't follow good breeding practices. I'd try and get the deposit back and find another breeder.

Ryphen

Welcome! Having a people oriented dog might help with recall. Our Tam will take or leave most other animals but I have yet to see a person he doesn't want to meet and get attention from. He has close to perfect recall and will stop mid-animalchase if you call him. The breed seems to fall on both end...

Ryphen

No more snow, Kona! It's time for it to get warm!

Ryphen

For any particular reason or is the random number generator just not being kind?

Ryphen

Congratulations!

Ryphen

So sorry to hear that. May he rest in peace now.

Ryphen

They always look so happy in the snow.

Ryphen

Very pretty/handsome.

Ryphen

I think ours is 10 or 15 dollars. I forget.

Ryphen

It sounds like it would highly depend on the individual personality of the Tamaskan. There are ones that can do the things you listed, and others that can't. Like, for example, ours is walked off leash all the time and I know I can call him off of chasing a cat or squirrel or whatever with confidenc...

Ryphen

I was good with Calculus while I was in school, but I don't remember any of it now. Was always a bigger fan of biology than math. The whole population genetics thing is interesting though. Maybe I should do some brushing up...

Ryphen

I remember going over population genetics in a genetics class I took in college, but that's about as far as the memory goes.

Lots of math.

Ryphen

Ah, a winter move. I remember doing those. Always a good time if it decides to snow. I do have Facebook, although I use it more to keep up on news than to post anything. xD Our dog's name is Kumho and we got him from Jim and Judy at Double J Kennels. He's pretty reserved when meeting new dogs but te...

Ryphen

Huh. Chatham isn't that far from us. Not sure when you're moving, but you could meet our Tam if you wanted to see one in the fur. Welcome to the forum.

Ryphen

It almost looks like they're made out of glass. Nice pictures.

Ryphen

Happy Holidays to everyone!

Ryphen

I do this with my fish, but I don't think there are any Tams close by. Which I'm sure the cats like.

Ryphen

So sorry for your loss. It always seems to hurt more when they leave that early. RIP Boreal.

Ryphen

I suppose if there's anything good about it, it's that he isn't female. It's unlikely he'll be bred to death the way Tasha was.

Ryphen

Better be careful he doesn't start bringing strange dogs home.

Ryphen

Beautiful. Yarrow looks like he really dwarfs the other two in his winter coat.
