Mowgli will be 17 weeks on Tuedsday. We've been taking him to puppy kindergarten classes for the past few weeks and he loves it! Our trainer makes a comment every week about how smart he is, and the humans in class (especially the wee ones) think he's just so purdy! We've only had a few people ask i...

What a cutie! How is he getting along with your lab?

akaye531

Beautiful girl! Wish winter would bring us some more snow. Hitenshi - I see the family resemblance as well

akaye531

Such a cutie!!! How much does he weigh?

akaye531

Love his smile. Looks like such a sweet boy

akaye531

Beautiful girl!!!

Mowgli likes to pick up deer poop. I hardly notice when he does it on walks - the little sneak! He still gobbles down his food though.

akaye531

I used to babysit a boy that had an obsession with gloves. He would ask all about the types of gloves I had. He and Winter would get along, I think!

akaye531

Beautiful baby!!

When I was first researching Tams, I contacted RPK to ask some questions. Kevin had his daughter get in touch with me, and I was told that the process was deposit first, then ask questions. Didn't ask anything about me!!!

akaye531

Beautiful photos!

We usually use the first half of Mowgli's meals as treats for training, and then put the rest in the Kong wobbler. He LOVES the wobbler, and I love that it slows down his eating, makes him think a bit, and uses up some energy during meal times. http://www.amazon.com/Kong-Wobbler-Treat-Dispensing-Lar...

Can't wait to see these pups!

Welcome! How exciting for you to be meeting Tams for the first time this weekend. If you think they're beautiful in photos, just wait until you see them in person.

akaye531

Welcome

akaye531

Kumho is stunning! Love ALL of the snow photos, and the one on the couch. That smirk reminds me of his little brother

akaye531

He's definitely tuckered out! Didn't mean to be out so long, but got turned around on the trail and had to take a few detours. We'll be sure to be more careful next time Thanks Rahne.

akaye531

Thought I'd add some updated photos of Mowgli. He's growing so fast! At 12.5 weeks he is 27 lbs. We took him for a nice 2 hr hike today and he loved it! It was our first time taking him off lead, and he did great. He stayed close by for the most part, and came whenever we called him. We ran into a c...

akaye531

He's beautiful! And such a big boy. Makes me question whether we should get another tamaskan next, or an ancd. Maybe both!

My boy is just 12 weeks, so I guess we have some time to decide.

akaye531

Measured Mowgli today. He'll be 12 weeks tomorrow, and is 24 pounds and 17 inches at the shoulder.

akaye531

Some new photos of Mowgli. Both ears are up for now! He's been with us for 2 weeks now, and has already grown so much! So excited to see how he changes as he grows. We think he'll be a pretty handsome lad :D http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b581/akaye531/Mowgli/DSC08348_zpsfc24843d-1_zpsfbebd104....

akaye531

They are lovely! It looks like I'll be needing another down the line - their snuggles are just too cute.

akaye531

Congratulations!!! They are so precious

akaye531

Hello all! We brought home our brand new Tamaskan pup, Mowgli, this weekend, and it sure has been a busy few days! He did fairly well on the 8 hr drive home. Vomited 3 times, and snuggled the rest of the time. Lots of drooling at first, but that subsided. He's already gotten pretty used to his crate...

akaye531

Beautiful! Can't wait to see her pups

akaye531

Haha, we also were inspired by Mr. Kipling: The word raksha in Sanskrit and Hindi means 'to protect' and raakshas means 'demon'. It is pronounced as Rak+sha. I think it expresses well the double nature of a wolfdog, who is part wolf (Eurasian), part dog (German Shepherd). And to top it off - as Rak...

HiTenshi16 Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 2:32 am Re: ESS Shakespeare :) You can upload your photos through photobucket and resize them from there so you can use the Img function. I've been doing that lately since copying the URL from Facebook photos is useless now that the photos there are larger than 8...

akaye531

Thanks all! He is a very sweet boy.

I'm having some trouble uploading photos. I can add them as an attachment, but then I have to make the image pretty small so that it is small enough to upload. How can I used the Img function to embed a photo?

akaye531

She's so cute!!!!

akaye531

Thanks! Went puppy shopping today. Not expecting the plush toy to last, but it was just so darn cute! Also made some purchases on Amazon. Only 2 weeks of waiting left

akaye531

Decided we're not going to try to tackle raw feeding to begin with, but instead feed Taste of the Wild. Those of you who feed TOTW, did you start off with the puppy formula, or just jump in with the adult? There are so many varieties - want to make sure I get the best for our little guy.

akaye531

Just looked through the whole thread - what a gorgeous girl!

akaye531

As a math teacher and dog lover, I appreciate this quite a bit!

akaye531

Last 2 (for now

)

akaye531

More Shakes

akaye531

No Tam pics to post yet (3 weeks to go!), but for now I thought I'd introduce my English Springer Spaniel, Shakespeare. He is the sweetest, most lovable dog I've ever met, and I'm so excited for him to have a new friend!

akaye531

ProSelect looks good - a little more affordable than the others, and a little less scary looking :lol: . Like I said before though, not sure if I'll jump in with both feet and buy an expensive crate right away. Sounds like some people hardly use it, so I think we'll play it by ear. I think the wire ...

akaye531

Wow - better start pinching my pennies! I would hate to spend that much on a crate only to have it lightly used. This decision is going to be tougher than I initially thought...

akaye531

In preparation for our new pup, we're in the market for a sturdy wire crate with a divider so that it can be used into adulthood. Midwest seems to be a popular brand, and I'm considering the crate below... http://www.amazon.com/Midwest-Ultima-Series-Crate-Inches/dp/B002IQDCR2/ref=sr_1_5?s=pet-suppli...

akaye531

Love her! Congrats

akaye531

We're going to name our pup Mowgli. Jungle book inspired

akaye531

Thanks again for the welcome, and for the feeding recommendations. I'm definitely going to be reading up on raw feeding, but not sure if we can take that on quite yet. The forum has been my Tamaskan lifeline thus far. What a vast wealth of information! It's nice to have so much information so access...

akaye531

I absolutely agree with you! Exactly why I wouldn't buy from a mill. I feel comfortable buying from Judy because in my opinion (and I understand that others may disagree!) her breeding practices are not unethical. Regardless, I hope that I can use the forum in the future to share photos and updates ...

akaye531

We're going with a pup from Judy at Double J. We made this decision after reading about Jim and Judy's situation. We understand that our pup will not officially be a registered Tam because of Jethro's hips, but that is not important to us. I understand that her choice to continue using Jethro as a s...

akaye531

Thanks! I'm sure we'll be posting frequently with tons of questions. First question - how am I supposed to wait the 8 weeks until we can pick up our pup without going crazy?! :D On a more serious note - what is the general consensus regarding feeding (raw v kibble)? I've seen mixed opinions. We feed...

akaye531

Hello everyone! My boyfriend and I will soon be parents to our first Tamaskan pup, and we could not be more excited! I would like to thank all of your for all of the information you've posted on the forum. You have all been an integral part of this process for us. Looking forward to officially becom...
