A lot of people have looked at it in a short period of time (28 rated it - and only a small % of people rate articles)...plus there are dozens of questions about this breed of dog on yahoo answers, etc. People are very curious about it since it appeared on TV. It should be improved though...and the Utonagan and the Tamaskan breeders need to resolve their differences w/ this dog breed.

  • Unrecognized by all major dog associations;
  • Promotional/advertisement - the only external link is to unofficial 'breed society';
  • No references despite 'citations needed' template since March 2008.

There has been a brief discussion here about this article, also Utonagan and Tamaskan Dog. Utonagan is already at AfD and I'm also tagging Tamaskan Dog now. SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:03, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
