Getting a dog can change your life. If you get a dog that is compatible with your lifestyle, it can be a very rewarding experience, but all dogs require love, attention, care and training, so before you make that decision, ask yourself these questions:
Do I have time to give a dog the attention it requires?
Do I have the ability to provide proper grooming, exercise and training for a dog?
Can I afford the expenses that come with a dog?
Do I have what it takes to be a strong pack leader?
Do I want to buy a dog from a breeder or adopt a dog from a shelter or rescue?
If, after answering the above questions, you decide to move forward with getting a dog, it would be wise to learn about the different breeds and their characteristics, personality/temperament, possible health conditions and exercise and grooming requirements in order to make an informed decision.
This article is a basic overview of one particular breed -- a Tamaskan. Read on to decide if this breed of dog is compatible with your particular lifestyle.
History/Background: The Tamaskan, meaning "Mighty Wolf" in North American Indian language, is said to have originated in Finland, although that is uncertain. Five husky-type dogswere imported into the UK from the USA in the early 1980s and were then bred to Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky and German Shepherd crosses, attempting to create a dog that resembled a wolf but with high intelligence, a good temperament and good working ability. Breeding continued down through the years to improve the bloodlines and the bloodlines were finally closed in 2006. The Tamaskan was first imported into the USA in 2005 and has since grown in popularity. The Tamaskan Dog Register was formed in February 2006. Although it looks like a wolf, it has no wolf content.
