I too would very much like to add a Tamaskan to my family. I am close to retirement from my job and my husband is retired. We have 4 children and 4 grandchildren (hoping for more grandkids

There is always someone showing up at our house (e.g., meals, overnight, watch sports, etc) with their dogs (an English Bulldog, and a mixed breed (German Shepherd/Collie/Golden Retriever), so we're looking for a dog that is friendly toward other animals (we also have two cats).
As my husband and I are in our 60's (he's retired and I will be in a couple years) we know Tamaskans are smart, easily trained, friendly and would make a great protector as well.
