Tamaskan Dog for a $15 Ko-fi supporter

The Tamaskan Dog (Canis familiaris) is a breed of sled dog created in the mid 2000s. It was created by crossing multiple different already established breeds of dog, as well as wolfdog mixes. While tamaskan dogs are not officially considered to be wolfdogs due to not having a high enough percentage of wolf genetic content, wolf content ranges from 0-30% among individual members of the breed.

It's been like a year since I last designed an OC but I swear I didn't forget how. Want to get back into the swing of it, so have this dog 🐺

So it turns out Carlos was the dog all along

Chaska and Zuna ❤️

About a year ago I took some photos of Chaska, a tamaskan that I met at our local pet store - what an absolutely gorgeous dog 😍 super photogenic in my opinion. A little throwback to last year's fall 🍂

Both girls got along well and it was so nice to meet a tamaskan again :)

Have a nice weekend and enjoy the beginning of fall everyone

Hey!

I'm having a hard time tracking down any info on the origin of different sleddog breeds, especially their names, and I remember you've talked about it before.

I searched your blog but only managed to find a post about malamutes.

Any chance you could tell me about the etymology of other breeds like the Siberian Husky and if there are names I should use instead, like Inuit Qimmiq for the CID? Or if maybe you could point me towards good sources?

Thank you.

(also your dogs are lovely)

I mean some names are pretty self explanatory such as "Greenland Dog" and "Yakutian Laika" and "Inuit Sled Dog" (note that any indigenous breed is also going to have its own name in its native language as well, an example of this being Qimmiq).

I talk about the general etymology of the word "husky" and its usage as a generalized term HERE.

I talk about the etymology of the term husky and its use as a racial slur, as well as the use of racial slurs as dogs names HERE.

I talk about using alternative names for said racial slurs and some problems you may come across in the dog world when doing so HERE.

Also CID, as in Canadian Inuit Dog, and Inuit Qimmiq are both considered perfectly fine to use as it uses the proper term for the people originating the dog. It is the Canadian Kennel Club's official breed name of "Canadian Eskimo Dog" that there are (obvious) issues with. The campaign for name change desired "Canadian Inuit Qimmiq" as a compromise but did not go through.

Beyond listening to the various indigenous groups affected by these particular racial slurs and the racially charged and bizarrely still prevalent theme of naming new dog breeds after random, unrelated indigenous groups as a nod to their "wildness" I would not say there is a concrete source. Indigenous people are not a monolith and two individuals from the same community could likely have very different feelings on particular word usage. As an example of this divide, some people who are involved in working Canadian Inuit Dogs in their historical way take issue with the (many) campaigns to rename the breed, seeing the Canadian Inuit Dog as the true working dog and the registered Canadian Eskimo dogs as more pet bred and different. HERE is an article from the Fan Hitch about that. Now I personally know breeders of registered CEDs that are non-native across multiple continents who take great care to import dogs from their native country and from native sources so....not my circus, not my monkeys, but an interesting argument in this discussion nonetheless.

As with any of my etymology posts I merely seek to bring awareness to the origin on these terms so we can all have a greater sensitivity when interacting with the breeds of dogs that we love. I don't have answers and perhaps there is not really a one size fits all answer to this problem. I myself am not of any of the groups affected by these slurs and mythologizing, so I also don't think i can be considered a definitive source on the subject.

tamaskan dogs are so beautiful. why didn't i get one when i had the chance?

[mammalidentifier]

I don’t want to keep adding on to that post because it can get annoying to the OP but I just wanted to say that, as beautiful as wolfdogs might look, I do not recommend getting them as pets AT ALL. Even wolfdogs with a relatively low percentage of wolf in them would be incredibly difficult to handle for people without any experience in handling wild animals. They tend to retain plenty of wolf behavior that’s pretty far removed from how your average domestic dog acts.

Bengal cats, who, according to the law in most countries, have to be four to five generations removed from their closest Asian spotted cat ancestor to be owned as pets and not considered wild animals anymore are still very high energy animals with different needs than regular domestic cats. With wolfdogs, it’s even worse: they need practically the same accommodations when it comes to enclosure and enrichment wild canids need in zoos.

So, unless you’re actively looking for a pet that’ll chew its way through your house like Pac Man, you’re WAY better off getting just a wolfy-looking breed like a Tamaskan or a Greenland Dog than anything with actual wolf ancestry.

Something I have headcannon is that around the time ducktales ended, the Ty and Indy got Lena a dog. A tamaskan dog who recently escaped from a abusive household. The first two months the dog lived with them, he was aggressive and distance. The dog never tried to bite them but he would bark and pretend he was about to bite.

But Lena could see herself in the dog, she knew the dog wasn't violent he was just scared. So she gave him time and space till he could warm up to them. He later becames one of Lena's closest friend and ally.

I chose to make the dog a tamaskan dog because those are the closest to a wolf I could find and I thought it would be cool if Lena's dog looked life a wolf because of the whole lone wolf thing.

The dog was use to being solo similar to how Lena felt before she met Webby. People who go to animal shelters don't usually buy adult dogs so this dog wasn't use to feeling wanted and it made it worse that when he was adopted his owners would return him because of his aggressive attitude and being too damage.

I just wanted to make a dog Lena could relate too. I think his name would either be Temper or a really cool name Lena would come up with.

[ember-owlet]

so random question but what dog breed(s) would you associate w/ vi or think she regresses to (in the context of a dog regressor) asking 4 a friend

eee thank you so much for asking!! oh man i've had so many ideas for puppy vi for the last three years (and being completely honest its so tied to my own canine regression that i think it'll be impossible not to make this at least a little self-indulgent).

the tamaskan dog!! looks like a wolf but is actually a fairly friendly breed,, reminds me of vi trying to put on a dangerous front but in reality, is extremely loyal and sweet. (the third image is her resting after a full day of being mama's/caitlyn's guard dog). i assign this breed to her pitfighter era as they are misunderstood at face value but just really big softies under the surface.

i believe this is the right term but after seeing saint bernard/bernese mountain dog mixes i've fallen in love thinking about vi in her softer moments,, like this is the same look,, prove me wrong. always determined to be helpful and will brave even the harshest weather to complete her goals. also do not underestimate the cute face they are incredibly strong physically and mentally. /lh

and to end strong,, this is extremely biased of me and might not make a lick of sense but being so connected to this particular breed she just IS a great pyrenees to me,, we are one in the same,, this one i could ramble on forever but it is the other two choices perfectly balanced in one breed. they're incredibly gentle and loving to those who earn their trust (be it their own pack or other animals/humans) but can be fiercely protective and vicious when it comes to keeping those they love safe or under their care. despite their "cute" appearance they aren't afraid to get their paws dirty and can make friends with just about anyone when given the chance to open up,, and will go to the ends of the earth to those who see their good nature and extend them kindness,, like please hear me out i think about vi as large dogs/gentle giants and specifically a great pyrenees all the time.

Hello!! Would it be possible if you could tell me some info on wolfdogs??

sure man! apologies for the wait!! ^_^

Wolfdogs is a pretty broad term. They're often sorted into 3 categories: low, mid, and high content. These categories are in accordance with the ammount of wolf DNA actually present in the canine! there are specific "breeds" where wolf dna has been introduced including the czechslovakian wolfdog & sarloos wolfdog! if you want info on them specifically let me know, i'm just speaking on wolfdogs in general.

People will tell you that huskies and german shepherds have higher wolf content than other dogs! this really isn't true, they're just as much wolf as a chihuahua, which is to say very little. tamaskan dogs were bred to resemble wolves but are not wolfdogs.

People also tend to mix up wolfdogs and dogs with wolflike traits (somehow???) so here are some helpful charts that can also help you differentiate wolfdogs of different contents!

Temperament - It should be taken into account that every dog is its own individual! however, generally, High content wolfdogs actually tend to be more skittish and shy. This is because normal wolves are usually very nervous and avoidant of humans. Mid-Low content wolfdogs are usually more prone to attacks, especially because of their confidence around humans. They can be more aggressive than both dogs and wolves.

They have very high needs that can rarely be met by humans, and tend to be destructive if not given huge ammounts of space and mental stimulation.

They're also very indipendent, and dont require much human interaction outside of having their basic needs met.

They're known for escaping homes, food agression, having high prey drive, territorial behavior, sensitive behavior, reactive behavior, seasonal agression, and being agressive to or violently protective of small children. Theyre also very very vocal and tend to play very rough. Theyre also do well in groups, but getting multiple is usually an awful idea.

Health & Physical Traits - Wolfdogs usually have a lifespan of 12-18 years.

They're also huge. wolfdogs can weigh 70-100 pounds on average, and can end up bigger than both wolves and dogs.

Its basically impossible to meet the needs of a wolfdog because of various traits i listed in Temperament. That being said they dont do well in the wild either. They also have body language somewhat different from dogs, which can lead to communication failures.

Unfortunately I can't find many good sources on common health issues, buti imagine it depends on what dog they're mixed with.

They're luckily quite hard to injure because they have thick fur and tough skin to protect from each others' roughhousing, as well as predators.

If you two girls wanted to and this isn't required or anything more of a suggestion. You can always get any of these blown up to be a poster in your room, a photo to place in your room or have it as a cool background for your phone and desktop.

If you two ever want them as a phone wallpaper just hit me up and I'll make them into phone wallpaper for you two. Because I still have the PNGs for them.
