Tamaskan Dog

Dog breed profile

The Tamaskan Dog originated in Finland as a breed designed to look like a wolf while maintaining a friendly and trainable temperament. It is a large working dog developed from sled dog breeds such as the Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky. Known for its intelligence and high energy, the Tamaskan requires plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.

This breed is social and generally friendly with children and other dogs, though it may be less tolerant of cats. Regular grooming is important due to its dense double coat, which sheds heavily especially during seasonal changes. Health-wise, the Tamaskan may be prone to joint issues and certain eye conditions, so routine veterinary care is advised.

Ideal owners are active individuals or families with experience in dog training who can provide ample space and daily activity. The breed thrives in cooler climates and is best suited to homes with yards rather than apartments. With consistent training and socialization, the Tamaskan makes a loyal and engaging companion.
