My wife and I have been researching Tamaskans for quite some time, and it seems like the perfect dog for the family. We are a huge fan of wolves but don't want an actual wolf as a family pet. We were thinking of a German Shepherd because I grew up with them, but the hip dysplasia is a big concern for Shepherds. The Tamaskans have great health and rigorous testing from what we have heard, beautiful looks, they seem extremely intellegent and highly trainable, and I believe it would be the perfect dog for our family.
We are really excited to get a puppy, but don't know where to start exactly. If anyone has any advice we would really appreciate it! We would like to get a Tamaskan around Christmas time. If you have any suggestions we would be more than happy to hear them! We don't want any breeders that are not TDR approved. I have called one in the US (RightPuppy) and they seemed very shady, almost like a puppy mill. We were unhappy because they said they got kicked out of the TDR and started breeding the dogs when they are pups and currently they are breeding 15 different dogs. They complained about the strict standards and regulations of the breed and all the many health tests they had to undergo. They also said they are trying to start Tamaskan of America, which is useless and not good for the dogs in our eyes. We want a healthy, happy dog to take home, not a sick, inbred so-called "Tamaskan Wolfdog".
So if anyone can help us finding our perfect family pup, it would be a blessing. Any info would help. Our email address is lacys_email@yahoo.com
Thanks
Jake, Lacy and the boys
