Nixi, also from the same litter was hand-shy from the day we got her. She did form a good bond with me and my husband but she never looked for affection. I have never met such an unfriendly pup. Unfortunately her fear of people turned to aggression by the age of twelve weeks. This happened three tim...

Sally

Thanks for the input. I have used the restraining methods with other dogs successfully. With my Tamaskan I literally have to run across the room and rugby tackle her. Even then she does not get the message, my kids are covered in scratches and bite marks. She has attacked two children in the last tw...

Sally

Thanks for the advice. That's exactly the problem I have been having, the "No" command is great when she is calm, but when she gets excited I have to grab her and restrain her. I have also given her time out in the crate. I guess I have just been worried about creating a nervous dog when I have to g...

Sally

@Chantelle. You should come and meet her, we are very close to you.
When are you thinking of getting one? Any time soon? Would be great to have more in Alberta

Sally

Thanks Rahne,
She does well with the "No" command when there are treats available and she is focused on me. Hopefully she will calm down soon.

Sally

My Nixi also has puppy vaginitis, I was also told it is quite common.
We are not treating it, just keeping an eye on her and it should clear up when she is spayed.

Sally

Just back from vet- no better, no worse
We are still waiting a few more weeks to get the ultrasound

Sally

Sorry if I didn't explain myself very well. I am concerned about my puppy biting my sons face. She is not being aggressive, just normal puppy behavior. But she is 20 pounds, fast, and has teeth sharp enough to draw blood. This is my first Tamaskan, so I was hoping others who have raised a Tamaskan w...

Sally

My pup Nixi will be 12 weeks old this weekend, and she still has a very hard and persistent bite. I know it is just puppy overexuberance, and have tried the yelping, restraining and ignoring methods, but she just doesn't seem to care. I can handle this, and I am sure she will grow out of it. My worr...

Sally

She looks so sweet and innocent in these last 2 photos, I don't believe it for a minute if she's anything like her sister

Sally

Love this pup, he was my favorite out of this stunning litter. Congratulations!

Sally

Very cute, congratulations!

Sally

Thanks for the comments
@Gabriele58 I hope your finger gets better soon! This definitely seems to be a strong willed bunch of pups, it's great to be able to watch so many of them grow up

@Nino, I am glad you said that, I think they look quite similar too, hopefully it will continue

Sally

Some more recent ones

Sally

It has taken us over 3 weeks to get here, but we finally made it! When Nixi arrived she was a scared and skinny wee thing, (although she sounded more like a pack of wild dogs than one little pup, when they brought her in for collection!) for the first couple of days she just wanted to sleep and eat....

Sally

@Terri,
I understand what you mean, I am terrible at putting in writing what I am thinking. No hard feelings

Sally

Thanks for the kind wishes. I am waiting a few weeks before I see the cardiologist. This will give her a chance to grow, and should give us a more definite diagnosis. @Terri - I am also a very private person ( not in the habit of posting my problems to the world ) I posted my dogs health issue to a ...

Sally

Welcome to the forum, I am in the NW of Calgary. I just got my new pup last week, we are growing in numbers over here!

Sally

I think some people are missing the point here. I collected my pup on Tuesday, on Friday I am told she has health issues(this is already costing me an extra $700 dollars, with insurance) After all my excitement, can you imagine my shock and upset. This is now my dog, she does not belong to the breed...

Sally

Hello and welcome, from a Scot living in Canada(Calgary). I have also just got my first Tam puppy

Sally

Hi there, what is Bears D.O.B? I have his sister but dont know exactly how old she is yet. Can't offer too much advice yet, because obviously mine is the same age. I would say that it is very important that he goes in the car every day, even if it is only to the end of the street, or even when the c...

Sally

I did contact my breeder straight away. I don't think I suggested that Lynn was at fault, it was the vet who examined the puppy in the UK that I was questioning. I think the only person embarrassed yesterday was me. I was discussing the breed with my vet and telling him there were very few health is...

Sally

I did not share this to cause anyone embarrassment, or to panic people. I hope people can appreciate my shock and upset at this news, but maybe I should have just kept it to myself. I thought this was a place to share experiences and problems, and to get advice, perhaps I was mistaken. To those of y...

Sally

Like I said I will be seeing a cardiologist who will perform an ultrasound. I am well aware that mistakes can be made but this was a very thorough exam and a lot of time was spent listening to her and discussing things with me. I would like to hope that this was a mistake, but you can imagine how sh...

Sally

Well I did ask if she could outgrow it. He said no, it was too significant. I will be seeing a cardiologist, so will keep you all informed. I love her to bits and already have a bond with her, but I did not spend over $3000 just to be stuck with a sick dog, who is already costing me a fortune in vet...

Sally

I don't understand how it was missed by the vet who checked her in the UK and gave her the all clear to fly. She cannot be bred from, and any anesthetic she may need could be very dangerous for her. I spent months researching this breed, health was a big priority. The reason I didn't get another Ger...

Sally

I was told it is quite significant and she could suffer from heart failure, an inability to run for long periods, coughing etc. Yes ultrasounds were advised. I am in shock right now

Sally

Hi everyone, As many of you know I got my new pup on Tuesday (Blustag Rainbow from the Heidi/Bodie litter) I have just returned from the vet. She has a significant heart murmur. I have been told this is a genetic problem passed down from parents or grandparents. I was advised to let everyone know th...

Sally

So cute! Her sister is the same, hates the crate!

Sally

Second day with my new pup, I am not inexperienced and have done everything by the book. I have just experienced what Terri described. I only put her in for 5 minutes to change my son. What a mess!! Poop all over inside and outside of crate, plus a five foot radius around that, she was covered and a...

Sally

He's lovely, love the floppy ear

Sally

Very cute! Hope to see lots more photos

Sally

He's gorgeous! Glad he got there safely

Sally

Yes my little girl arrived yesterday. Safe, sound and VERY noisy! Will get round to posting photos soon

Sally

To the person hoping to get Buddy, I wish you good luck! I say this of course with a BIG dash of envy, I would have loved to have had him

Can't wait for pictures....

Sally

Lovely dogs! I grew up with GSDs, and also had my own one a few years ago, your Molly reminds me very much of her. I have always fancied a black one too

Sally

Deciding to buy a Tamaskan puppy and have it shipped to Canada was not a decision I made lightly. I wanted to find out as much as I could about the puppies parents, what was behind them and also the rest of the litter. So I called Lynn. I told her I was interested in the Heidi/Bodie litter, I also s...

Sally

That's what I was thinking, it might change as it grows up, could turn out a stunning dog. Lynn said she would probably keep him.

Sally

This looks great, can't wait to see her pull it. Shay is one of my favorites, she has such a kind, intelligent face.

Sally

Love it

Sally

I don't have enough experience to know, but will he stay white or is it possible that he will change since all the others change so much?
I think he will look great whatever, especially if the eyes are light. Should be interesting.....

Sally

Hi, I haven't posted since last year, but have started checking the forum every day for news on the puppies. I am on the waiting list, and also hoping for a wolf grey girl. Quite interested in the Bodie litter, or a Jodie girl would also be nice. Anyway I hope we all get what we want, the waiting is...

Sally

@Nanook

Thanks for the welcome, hope you are enjoying this cold weather!

Sally

Thanks again to everyone for the warm welcome.
Yes Calgary is a great place to live, we love going up to Banff and the Rockies.
It will be even better when we can take our dog with us!

Sally

Hi Katlin, good to hear from you. That's a good question about gender. All the dogs I've had have been girls, so that seems the obvious choice, but my husband wants a male. So we haven't really decided yet (I would probably like one of each, and every colour too!) I will keep you posted. What about ...

Sally

Hello everyone, My husband Keith joined the forum a few weeks ago and I have been reading a lot of stuff and looking at all your beautiful photos (there is so much great information on here!) Anyway I thought I should join as well and introduce myself. My name is Sally, I am from Scotland but have b...
