Welcome to the Tamaskan Club of America™Welcome to the Tamaskan Club of America™. We have the distinguished honor of being the official registration body for the American Tamaskan. We represent Tamaskan Breeders in North America. Long live the Mighty Wolf; long live the Tamaskan... ![]() Breed OriginOriginating from imported USA sled type dogs and mixed with Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute and German Shepherd, they then were exported to Finland where more recently other feral looking sled type dogs have been added to improve the American Tamaskan. The purpose for the Tamaskan Breeder was to create a dog that looks like a feral in appearance with working ability. The first Tamaskan Puppies to be imported into America arrived in 2005 and they had their first litter in 2007. Since that time the Tamaskan popularity has grown and there are now a handful of registered breeders across North America. The country of origin is difficult to determine, Tamaskans were bred in Finland, Britain and America before the bloodlines were closed in 2006 which could mean that all three are the countries of origin. Currently no country has accepted the Tamaskan as a registered breed, although it is believed the Tamaskan may soon be recognized by the American AKC Foundation Stock Service (FSS), as well as recognition through other Clubs. Description

Temperament
Tamaskans are intelligent and have been known to excel in agility, obedience and working trials.
They also make decent sled dogs and many Tamaskan living in colder climates regularly participate
in recreational, and occasionally competitive, dogsled racing as well as skijoring.
Tamaskan AuthenticityTamaskans are a rare breed especially with only a few registered breeders in the United States of America. The cost of importing a puppy is even more costly due to shipping prices. In either event, purchasing a Tamaskan is quite a financial commitment. Therefore, before you put a buy a Tamaskan puppy, please make sure you are working with a reputable registered breeder. Registered breeders are listed on the Tamaskan Club of America (TCA) website. The TCA is the official registry of the American Tamaskan. Beware of backyard or hobby breeders; especially those from Elizabeth City North Carolina. |
