Tamaskan Dog 101

A FAQ for Tamaskan Dogs
We always see a lot of miss-information and general questions about Tamaskan Dogs out there. From people we meet, the internet in general, individuals who contact us, application submissions, and even articles. In an effort to make info about the breed easier to find we have a page full of questions with short answers for you. You can always ask us to add another question to this page and we are going to try to write more thorough pieces on these (and other) topics that we can link here for you to learn more.

General

We can't possibly cover everything but here are some of the important or notable questions we get about the breed and resources we can share with you.

What is a Tamaskan Dog?
A Tamaskan Dog is a highly intelligent and independent arctic breed with a set standard. To see the foundations of the breed you can check out our breed timeline. But suffice to say Tamaskans can only come from approved breeders/mating. There are a number of official clubs and registries, but all universally require that dogs be microchipped, registered, and under return contract to their breeders. Past that please note that you will see variations is style between kennels and registries as we are still outcrossing to maintain and establish the breed while also preserving diversity.

Sports

Can you show & title a Tamaskan?
Yes you can, but it is still new to the breed. Intact dogs can show with the IABCA, ARBA, ICE and ICKC. Some of those organizations also have companion/altered classes as well. Dogs young enough to not need to be altered and those altered dogs can participate in AKC affiliated programs through the Canine Partners program if following the contracts from the program. There are also other sports we can participate in such as barn hunt, Rally-O, Parkour, agility, weight pull, dock diving, trick dog and many others depending on the regulations and restrictions on each dog (requirements to be zero content, altered, etc.). Hopefully we will continue to all explore new sports with our dogs.
