==Appearance== |
|||
The Tamaskan Dog Register (TDR) breed standard describes an ideal size of 25–29 inches (63.5–73.7cm) for males and 24-27.9 inches (61cm–71cm) for females. The breed is described as having an intelligent gaze, well-furred body, erect ears, bottle-brush shaped tail, and athletic build. Acceptable coat colors are red gray, wolf gray and black gray [[agouti (coloration)|agouti]] patterns.<ref name="tdrbreed" /> |
|||
==Temperament== |
|||
Tamaskans are highly intelligent and quick to learn new things, and are usually very friendly with both adults and children. The TDR breed standard stipulates that they are not shy, timid, or aggressive, and thus they do not make good [[guard dogs]] despite their wolf-like appearance. Some Tamaskans have been successfully trained as [[service dogs]]. Tamaskans are loyal family/pack-oriented dogs, which means they can be prone to suffering from [[Separation anxiety in dogs|separation anxiety]] and/or exhibiting destructive behavior if left alone for extended periods of time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tamaskan-register.com/breed-info/temperament/|title=International Tamaskan Register - Temperament}}</ref> |

The Tamaskan breed is considered to be relatively healthy with few serious genetically inherited conditions. TDR-affiliated breeders perform extensive health testing and only healthy dogs are allowed to breed. Health issues that occur in a small percentage of the overall Tamaskan population include [[Hip dysplasia (canine)|hip dysplasia]], [[Cryptorchidism#Dogs|cryptorchidism]], [[Canine degenerative myelopathy|degenerative myelopathy]], [[Epilepsy_in_animals#Dogs|epilepsy]], [[Hypoadrenocorticism in dogs|Addison’s Disease]], juvenile cataracts, and digestive problems/food allergies.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tamaskandogregister.com/the-tamaskan/health/|title=Tamaskan Dog Register - Health}}</ref> |
