This "kennel" in the US contacted me for stud use:

And I found this pedigree linking back to her dogs:

Oskari is this dog: http://www.wolfdog.org/dbase/d/10973, and this line was bred from a kennel called "Polar Speed" in Finland.

I soon found these kennels as well, all breeding from the same lines:
http://www.takaritamaskans.com/
http://albatamaskans.webs.com/ourboys.htm
* This kennel now has puppies in 4 states in the US, as well as Wales, Austria and Germany - all are called "future breeders" on the TBA website.

The breeder told me in her next email that she had found other breeders (CSV, I assume) that had agreed to help her with their "breeds" goal to improve genetics by adding more Czechoslovakian Wolfdog blood. I don't know where this "help" comes from...but please, I beg whoever, if you are reading this - don't do this to the CSV in the US! It is too new here, it can cause so many problems for our breed in the future.

I don't think these Tamaskan breeders realize what a real wolfdog can be like...they are selling their dogs as the perfect, easy, loving family pet that isn't good for guarding because it gets along with everyone...

hi Marcy, it will happen and there is nothing you can do will stop it, money is the goal, my first litter in uk all new owners signed contract that they would never cross breed there CWS with any other breed of dog, they did and it would cost me fortune to take them all to court to get my dogs back as it is classed as civil mater, as for the Tamaskan, this is not a breed of dog, it is not recognised in any country or by any kennel club, the person who is reasponsable for this so called bred is from uk, and used to breed belgium shepherds, i refused to sell this person CWS many years ago in 2003, the dogs they call tamaskans are nothing but a mix of different breeds, just like the inuits, people who breed these dogs now say they have records of breedings and that they will become recognised breed with kennel club, so anyone reading this mail in uk who has a Tamaskan and has been told by the breeder it will be recognised by the k.c. please phone registration department and ask for Caroline Hallett, she will confirm they are not up for recognition, they have been breeding these dogs for years and still have not produced a type, so they are doing something very wrong, Bluestag took some of the cross bred dogs to finland and she lived there, then some dogs came back to the uk, and people where told they now had wolf content, but no one knows if they do, with only this persons word to say so, i would take it very lightly what she has said about wolf content, funny she came home to uk when the CWS had got some numbers up, then suddenly the Tamaskan re-appears but now with wolf content,, MONEY,,,,,to make things clear the inuit, british inuit, have been bred in uk for some 15 yrs according to there web sites, they still have no type and still can not become recognised breed, by the way the Utonagon was also by the same kennel Bluestag, when they died a death, then came the Tamaskan, it also died a death but then came back as the new tamaskan but now with wolf content, i have seen these dogs they are not wolfdogs, they do not act or have anything in common with true wolfdogs, they are normal dogs and act like them. but when you put wolfdog or wolf content in any advert people buy them, the web sites on the net now state the Tamaskans have wolf content, i wonder who is behind it all and who put the word out,,,,,,, it is all crap lies and deciet to make money from selling dogs.

indeed the tamaskan is a new breed( well not an official breed) that will not go yet for recognition so any breeder that says they will be recognised by the k.c. is a liar!
We will not go for recognition yet because the tamaskan is not yet how we want it to be.(the global appearance is there but the fur is in some line too short) It is a breed started from different breeds(you can read that all on the links I gave) yes but they have no wolf content at all!!!!!!!
we call them the wolfdog without the wolf content!!just because the way they look
Make no mistake a real tamaskan is 100% dog.

Alba and takari are not real tamaskan breeders!!!

[miran]

Also must be known that another stole the blustag name and places falls adverts
The tamaskan has been without wolfcontent and will always be without

QFT on the bold part. Some (unethical?) breeders only car about breeding what is popular and taking in as much cash as they can. We'll see more of this as the breed becomes popular. When we sold our puppies we had similar statements in our contracts. One went to a pet home - it was mandatory he was neutered when he was old enough (he also came with a limited registration so they couldn't show him). The co-own female won't be bred without our consultation (the owner wouldn't do that anyway) and the fully-owned female, while the owner does have the right to breed her how they feel, they will consult us.

But - be glad that it seems that most of the vlcak community has a high set of standards. People who do this will have a hard time falsifying the paperwork (like some other breed clubs).

We know someone who was "training" a Dutch shepherd for close to a year. What did he do? He bred her to one of his malinois and when the litter was born had a very well known trainer falsify paperwork so they could be registered as pure bred malinois. I won't mention any names.

I don't think we'll have this problem in this breed for a while.

We have. In Italy we have dogs from Passo del Lupo who look exacly like Tamaskans... but in pedigree are CLC.

[miran]

Tamaskan is been breed for looks and behavior.
We all know the CWS behavior and that is not what we want in the Tamaskan. So yes there are breeds that look the same just take the Saarloos.....

I have all three. A saarloos , a CWS and a Tamaskan. I find it unethical to crossbreed this breeds.
It is the difference in behavior that we want in the Tamaskan and you can only reach that if you only use 100% dog. I love real wolfdogs like the CWS and the saarloos but there are peoples that can not handle the behavior and that's why there is the Tamaskan.

It is a big shame that breeders(not real tamaskan breeders) will use a story and try to really crossbreed them with CWS because they do not know what they create, just for the use of selling there litter better. They can not use the standard of a Tamaskan if they use another breed because the easy behavior of the dog will be gone. Just like any CWS,Saarloos and real Tamaskan owner is that where we all fighting against.
So please any CWS or Saarloos owner please please please never let one of your dogs been used for this unethical practise

Every breed has it's reason and purpose and IMO the only acceptable reason to cross breed (any breed) is to create a new breed that fills a gap in the dog world. Breeding cross-breeds for money or just ease IMO is unethical to begin with. "They make good pets" is not a good reason.

Any puppies sold during the "transition" period (while the new breed is being engineered (for the lack of a better term) should all be spayed / neutered when they reach the correct age.

No dog (of any breed) should be used for unethical breeding. This is a major issue here in the USA - too many unethical breeders breeding and selling the pups too young (I just saw on another forum someone's family got a puppy - the "last one" from the litter, at 5 weeks - yes, I went off on them), don't require neuter / spay so then these new pet owners can breed "pet" dogs thus contributing to an exploding pet overpopulation.

Luckily, the vlcak breed is still very new in the USA so it can be monitored who gets the puppies and make sure people with the dogs' and breed's best interests in mind as opposed to their own agenda but sadly there WILL be a time when this can no longer be monitored. As the breed becomes more popular (and I know there is a small demand for wolf-hybrids here) more unethical breeders will pop up, just look at how damaged the German shepherd breed is here.

Mr Winder. I think I would have remembered if I had asked you for a dog. At no time was I buying a dog from you. I do however remember you trying to get me to take a Malamute female from you though as the Malamute people had closed the doors on you and wouldnt let you use any of their stud dogs and quite rightly so. You speak of me breeding for the money!! you know nothing of me whatsoever ,but by your own admission you told me you live off your dogs. In other words you breed dogs for money and have no other income. I breed dogs because I love them and it is a hobby I have had for over 35 years. How many Champions have you bred Mr Winder?? I have bred Champions in 4 out of the 5 continents. Also if you would care to read our website correctly there is nowhere that we state that we will be recognised by any Kennel Club. Please get your facts right. What you are saying above is total b/s. You know nothing. You think you know why I came back to UK from Finland ..lol... because the cwd numbers were up... what a fool you are! IF I had wanted to purchase a cwd I would have done dont you think. The very fact that I dont have one is because I dont want one.

(to the people out there with the cwd this is not a slant on your breed, I think they are very lovely and have met many of them over the years) I also hope that you all close ranks and prohibit the so called aatu Tamaskan people from breeding from any of your boys. For those of you that dont know me check me out at www.blustag-arcticbreeds.co.uk Our Tamaskan do NOT have wolf content regardless of the rumours flying around. ALL of them have been dna profiled that have ever been bred from and will continue that way. Anything you want to know about the Tamaskan breed can be found at www.tamaskan-dog.com These rumours were all started by certain people that were refused puppies by our breeders. For the record there are a lot of people in Europe coming to us for our breed that have both the Saarloose and the Cwd and are very happy with them. Please ignore all the negativity in Mr Winder's post. These people are purely jealous of where we are now at.

OH by the way Mr Winder it is Blustag and NOT Bluestag...

MR WINDER I think I would remember if I had asked you for a dog. I certainly havnt at anytime asked you for a dog. I do remember though you trying to get me to take one of your malamute females off you due to the fact that the malamute breeders closed ranks on their stud dogs and wouldnt let you use any of them, and quite rightly so. How dare you insinuate that I breed for the money. By your own admission you told me yourself that you breed for the money and have no other income other than your puppy sales. I breed for the love of dogs and as a hobby. How many Champions have you bred Mr Winder? I have bred and placed champions in 4 out of 5 continents! My breeding is thought out very carefully. For those of you that dont know me please check me out at www.blustag-arcticbreeds.co.uk Oh and Mr Winder it is Blustag and NOT Bluestag. It is Belgian Shepherds and NOT Belgium Also we are not advertising the fact that we have approached the KC to get our breed recognised. Nowhere on our site www.tamaskan-dog.com is this mentioned. Please get your facts right. You do not know me at all and your insinuations are insulting to say the least. Also your comments about why I returned from Finland to UK is total b/s. I came back due to the increase in UK of cwd... what a load of rubbish. If I had wanted a cwd I would have bought one. The reason I dont have one is because I dont want one... simple.

This is no disrespect to the cwd owners out there. I love the breed and have met many throughout US and Europe. For the record there are now several people who have the cwd and the saarloose buying Tamaskan for whatever their reasons. We also have more people being screened as I write this post. This is a lovely breed and easy to manage which is why people like them. Please ignore all the negativity going on written by people who have axes to grind such as Mr Winder. Also what is common between the Alba breeder and the US breeders Conchur and Takari is that these people have all along with others been refused Tamaskan puppies for genuine reasons.

Note to Mr Winder. I suggest that you direct your energies elsewhere to where they would be more useful such as screening your puppy purchasers thoroughly instead of printing such garbage as above!
