Mikko arrived from Blustag kennels in England in December 2007 (thank you Lynn for our beautiful boy!).  He was our first Tamaskan puppy.  His dame is Susi at Blustag and his sire is Dingo at Blustag.  Mikko represents a new bloodline in the United States and we hope that he will be one of the foundation studs for the Tamaskan breed here in America.  He is registered with the Tamaskan Dog Registry (TDR) in the UK. Because the Tamaskan is a rare breed, there are not sufficient numbers for AKC recognition, although recognition by a US dog registry is one of the goals of the National Tamaskan Club of America.


Inna arrived in Portland on May 30, 2008, and is out of Alba kennels in Scotland (thank you Liz!). Inna is getting acclimated to her new surroundings and, in true American fashion, went to her first little league baseball game shortly upon her arrival. She had a wonderful time and her gorgeous coloring and markings certainly attracted a lot of attention. When she comes of age, Inna will be the foundation bitch for Conchur Tamaskans. In the meantime, some early puppy training is in order and in the long run, I hope to train Inna for search and rescue, starting, of course, with my car keys!
