Yeah I agree with you. This is another reason how I was able to figure out that the avatar on the tamaskantruth site is Robert Wolfe whom RPK has stolen his photo from: http://www.iisd.org/about/staffbio.aspx?id=1077TerriHolt wrote:i would guess, to find her, you either need to look for prof photographers or a not so well known author... but that it a guess based on the look/style of the picture.... he will have found prof wolfe's photo by googling wolf x names or something so... maybe someone who knows him better who knows what he likes or is able to get into his mentality and think the way he does (but that is a hard tast to ask of anybody).

It's a site where you can upload a photo and then the site will photoshop it into a "stock photo". The site is photofunia. It's not really a real picture.Kyliedelonge wrote:Oh right it is still there. Well then who is the guy meant to be? It's a bit random

A little off topic... but does it bug anyone else when breeders of wolf look alike dogs use photos of real pure wolves on their site(in a way that is misleading)? It just seems like false advertising to me. I've seen so many threads where people have posted a wolf photo as an Utonagan because it was on an Utonagan website. I just want to shout "No that is a wolf! Utonagans don't look like that!" ...bugs me...

You won't find any wolves on the TDR's website except for the page describing the differences between the Tamaskan and the real wolf and comparing their appearance.

Well it kind of depends on the sub-species of the grey wolves as well. The photos that RPK has on his multiple websites are northern grey wolves of which the Tamaskan does not really resemble as much as the more southern sub-species like the Arabian wolves, Himalayan wolves, or the Eastern Canadian Wolves (a specie on its own). Most people looking at those pictures can tell that they are real wolves. As far as I've notice, Tamaskans more closely resemble the low-content Czech wolfdogs in phenotypes than that of an actual wolf hence your motto of "The Wolfdog Without The Wolf". I guess it all depends on the different individuals when it comes to asking about how wolf-like the breed looks.Blustag wrote:

I also agree people shouldn't be putting wolves on their websites to confuse the public... I due think some TDR Tamaskan do in fact look very similar to the Northern Grey wolf/ Timer wolves I have seen here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. If you left a tamaskan to run in the woods and it had to fend for itself they would get that rough outdoor look real quick... even after camping for a weekend in the dirt with Zephyr he almost fools me if he is just out of close range and he is walking slow with his head low. The only thing that prevents him from being mistaken is his small size still being only a 5 month old puppy and his collar if he is at the right angle.fangjingtuanlucas wrote:Well it kind of depends on the sub-species of the grey wolves as well.

Uh actually yeah they do! I've seen two here in Calgary and 13 in Wolf Creek USA, although the wolf creek encounters were long ago I can assure you, Lucas, that most, if not ALL tams look VERY much like wolves. To say what you have just said goes totally against the breed. People worked very hard to get this breed to look as they do... so for you to say that is downright insulting. I'm sorry if I took too much offence to this statement but if you had said this to one of my tamaskan that I worked hard for many years to make them look like a wolf...well not going to lie... I'd be mad.fangjingtuanlucas wrote:It bothers me just as much.

Actually, I agree with Lucas here. Not trying to offend anyone but Tamaskans don't look like wolves. They're closer than any other dog breed I've seen but they are very obviously(to anyone who knows what a real wolf looks like) not wolves. Tamaskans are wolf-like but not an exact replica. Not yet anyway.Convel wrote:Uh actually yeah they do!

There are some things such as the size that differs from wolves, no they aren't an exact copy but it's not a stretch to say they look alike.
Well of course Tamaskans are meant to look like real wolves just as most northern-spitz do but most of us here should be able to actually tell the difference between a Tamaskan and that of an actual wolf or wolfdog. They may look like northern wolves to some extent and like dogs in other times. I guess it also depends on each different individual's opinion. But personally, I think the Tamaskan does resemble the wolf to some extent but don't look completely wolf-like and I don't really expect them to look 100% like the northern wolves either. If this breed really did look 100% like a real wolf and still acts like a domestic dog then WOW that'll be better! However, the TDR has openly admitted that while they tried their best, they can only go so far.Valravn wrote:Actually, I agree with Lucas here.

But my point in all this was that using wolf pictures without making it clear what they are is very misleading.

RPK can't decide what his dogs are. He'll call them wolfdogs one minute then say they have no wolf the next. And his wolfdogs (non Tamaskans) are all low/no contents anyway.TerriHolt wrote:but he can use those pictures. he 'claims' he has wolf x's (or hybrids) listed under tamaskan (4 or 5 if i'm not mistaken?) which is why he can't call them tamaskan. because tamaskan is a wolfdog without the wolf but if he is adding in wolf when it defeats the point of the wolfdog without the wolf motto... i wouldn't be surprised if every dog he sold has wolf in it to some degree.

No actually he claims that Jaegar has hip dysplasia, this is false.John's second male Jaeger being too heavy to walk.
Didn't he even get the name and sex of the dog wrong??Convel wrote:No actually he claims that Jaegar has hip dysplasia, this is false.John's second male Jaeger being too heavy to walk.

Yep. He originally had a photo of Jaeger(male) with a caption that said Tundra(female). Idiot.Kyliedelonge wrote:Didn't he even get the name and sex of the dog wrong??Convel wrote:No actually he claims that Jaegar has hip dysplasia, this is false.John's second male Jaeger being too heavy to walk.

I recommend to take a step and send a email telling him that you do not give him permission to use your photos. Just one step to help build your case. Not sure about the whole using jaeger's photo but photos claiming as his can be used against him.
Sorry nemo I dont know who debby was lol
Now the coffee and cat thing is outragous but theft(of the pictures), and slander is frowned upon and he may only get slapped on the hand for it but between that one slap on the hand, and the slap on the hand from the other people who got sickly puppies from him, the court will get sick of him and put an end to it all, hopefully. Though, those dogs can only produce so many puppies, and only so many can sell, hopefuly you guys and the other people can take him for so much money that he will no longer be able to support his dogs.
I am sorry if I come out rude on here, I know I do sometimes. Please note that is not the case, I dont know why but it happensI am trying to think of new ways
though from my understanding is that he is selling puppies with out a passing health certificate. That is considered illegal(from where I am) in florida. I am willing to bet its illegal there, if someone in that area could check that out, and then talk with the owners with the sickly puppies from RPK and see if he gave them one. I am sure you can put a stop, or for at least shortly to the income. Put a stop the income, the dogs will go hungry, those dogs will loose weight and animal control will be forced to take them.
If they do NOT have a health certificate he is not aloud to sell them, and they will do a count on the dogs. They will give a amount of days and return to see if they have passing health certificates, and if they didnt get them and the numbers have dropped they will take them away. At least thats what florida does and I am sure thats what happens there
Once again, he's notoriest for falsifying health certificates. I believe there are several photos of some of the fake certificates that were posted on facebook.swake wrote:I did some snooping and found that north carolina does require that all puppies must have health certificates before being sold or even given away. Has anyone checked with past buyers about this?
If there is even just one dog sold or even given away with out a health certificate it will put a halt on their production.
