Wow, he looks stunning. I love how he turned out.

My boy Loki had runny stools for his first year or so. In that time period, I tested with different kinds of kibble and finally settled on Blue Buffalo (Chicken and Brown Rice). This kibble seemed to stiffen up his stool a bit but he still has the occasional bout of loose stool. I hope this clears u...

The X-rays came up negative and the vet thinks that the vomiting was caused by indigestion. He gave me some pills to give to Loki and everything seems to be okay now. Thanks for all of the responses!

nine00

It started about a week ago, and yes, I am in the process of changing his food from the puppy formula to adult. He's at the vet right now getting X-Rays. The vet thought that there might be something lodged in his stomach. I hope he's wrong. I'll find out the results after work today.

nine00

He does inhale his food, and its been this way since I first brought him home. Also, he doesn't throw up right after eating, its usually a few hours or more after eating that he will throw up. I made an appointment with the vet for tomorrow morning, so I'll see what he says about it. Thanks for the ...

I was planning to bring him to the vet this weekend if this is something i should be concerned about. I am feeding him Blue Buffalo (Chicken and Brown Rice).

Hello everyone, My boy Loki (1.5 years old) is vomiting about 2-3 times per week. In the past, it used to just be clear liquid and grass(he loves to nibble on grass), but more recently, he is vomiting up a puddle of food(twice now since introducing the new kibble). I am in the process of switching h...

Great suggestion Arianwenarie! I took Loki to a quiet court around my neighborhood and Loki responded very well to my commands there! Although they are baby steps, we are making progress towards my ultimate goal. Thanks again!

nine00

That picture is STUNNING! My favorite picture by far!

nine00

As of today, I can get his attention when I'm training him in the backyard. Once we hit the streets for a walk, all bets are off. There are way too many distractions for me to get and hold his attention.

I have a feeling this may take a lot longer than I expect =P

nine00

Ooo, good idea about making treats in a dehydrator. I've been looking for a reason to use my dehydrator. Ill have to dust it off first though =) Thanks!

nine00

Thanks for all the helpful insight! I will have to find some super yummy treats because, although Loki is food motivated, once he is outside with all of the distractions, he seems to ignore treats. Ill have to find some extra stinky treats that will get his attention. Thanks again! I'll try to keep ...

Hello everyone, My boy, Loki, just turned 1. Whenever I walk him (on lead), he goes crazy when he sees other dogs. He will bark, pull, and ignore anything that I try to calm him down. The weird thing is, when I take him to dog parks, he is totally fine around other dogs, which leads me to believe th...

Wow, such a big boy. My Loki is about to have his first birthday and he is barely over 60 lbs!

nine00

Very handsome dog!

nine00

Happy Birthday Zephyr! He is such a handsome lad!

nine00

Thanks for the handy tips! I probably won't start with Loki off leash with a bicycle since I don't trust him off leash yet. He gets easily excited by little things and am worried he might run off and do his own thing. I do try to work on him off-leash in enclosed areas, but don't full trust him yet....

nine00

Here are a few recent pics of my boy Loki. He's doing great and is a joy to have around. I'm thinking of training him to run beside me while I'm riding my bicylce. Does anyone have any handy tips?

I love the middle photo! How about this for a caption:

Here's a 3 minute video of Loki showing a few tricks he's learned.

Sorry about the lack of updates, I've been busy with work and havent had a chance to post. But, better late than never, huh? Loki continues to amaze me on how fast he picks up tricks. It seems to only take a few tries and he has it down. His latest trick is catching his treat which I thought would t...

I just witness my pup eat his own poop for the first time this evening. Should I be concerned? I was feeding him half ToTW High Prairie, half chicken and rice and recently switched to half ToTW, half ground beef and rice. Could it have been due to the slight food change?

where in northern CA live by the way nine? Just wondering because you're the first person I've seen on here that has a pup in CA :D How's that going for ya with the minimal heat and stuff as summer begins to pick up? Stockton just south of Sacramento. He's doing fine with the heat right now, but th...

Why can't you walk him outside of the house?? I think it is very important in this age to socialize him with EVERYTHING. Later it will be much more difficult to train him not to be stressed or affraid in different places and situations... Does he meet strangers (people and dogs)? I cant walk him ou...

Here's a quick update on Loki. He's a little over 3 months old now and weighs in at about 25 lbs. He continues to learn new tricks, his latest is roll over, and is a absolute joy to have around. I couldn't ask for a better puppy. 1 more month until I can take him on walks outside of the house. Woohoo!

nine00

That is just too cute!

nine00

Thanks for all the great info Sylvaen. I've been weighing Loki weekly and he seems to be gaining 3 - 4 pounds per week. He weighed in at 22 lbs. today, so he is gaining weight very fast (I think). He's also got so much better with the nipping. Now I just have to teach him that it's also not okay to ...

Loki's bout of the squirts never lasts more than a day either. It couldve been that I overfed him the day before due to the fact that I was at work late and he skipped a meal, so I tried to make it up during the dinner feeding. I orginally had him on the salmon ToTW when I first got him, then found ...

nine00

Im slowly trying to get my pup onto ToTW dry food, but it seems to be causing bouts of diarrhea. I currently have him on half boiled chicken/rice + half ToTW and he seems to be doing good on that. Do any of you who feed ToTW experience bouts of diarrhea in your tamaskans? Do you follow the recommend...

nine00

Alot is going to depend on how your pups reacts to either treats or praise. If I had the right treat inmy hand and Tundra knew what treat I had she would go through her whole regiment of tricks and learned commands to get the treat. I would not even have to say anything. Her thought process was if ...

At the moment, I don't use his crate for time-outs. I only use the crate for him to sleep in. He is such a good puppy that I don't want to traumatize him and have him hate the crate. He even waits for me to wake up before making a fuss to be let out (of course, that's if he doesn't need to go potty)...

nine00

Thanks for all the helpful replies. It was definitely not an aggressive growl that Loki did. It was more of a "I want to play nip your feet, but you wont let me" type of growl. I was just concerned that this will develop into him being aggressive when he grows up. As for the nipping, I tried to do t...

nine00

Ive been trying to teach my boy not to nip at peoples feet when he gets riled up, and today, while I was trying to do so by pushing him away and giving him a stern no, he gives back a little growl, a little charge and then runs back and continues to try and nip at my feet. This is the first time he ...

Loki is such a habsome lad! In puppy pre-school, they showed us a technique to discourage play-biting. I don't know if it would help you, but it might be worth a try. It's very similar to what you already doing with the key difference being that we didn't release her when she squirmed, but only aft...

I took him to the vet a few days ago and he weighed in at 16 lbs. The vet told me that his testicles have not dropped yet. I'm leaning on the side of neutering Loki, but am still doing research on the pros and cons of doing this. I have no intentions of breeding, so that is the reason why im leaning...

...and as i was typing this up, Loki goes #1 inside =( Still got some work to do. =)

Im so surprised at how fast Loki picks things up. Its been less than a week and he already knows how to sit, down and stay (only when there's no distractions though). And for the first time today, he rang the bell for a #2 potty in the morning and a #1 potty in the evening. Such a smart boy. Here he...

Here's Loki after exploring his new home. He doesn't like posing for the camera, so I can only get shot of him laying about.

After a long trip from Manchester to California, Loki finally made it home.

Here he is lounging around:

Adorable "un-named" pup you got there! Im getting Loki in a week and all I have are these cute photos to hold me over for now. This waiting is torture!
