Entrant 8: Kayla (Michael McCure)
Denali(DAM)/Tumble(SIRE) Litter
Kayla is a very intelligent, loving, and energetic dog and never misses a thing. It is amazing what she will notice and how inquisitive she is about her surroundings. Things the other dogs miss or are not interested in she will closely examine (lick, paw at, pick up, etc). She will even watch the airplanes flying overhead (we live adjacent to Eglin AFB).

When we sit outside with her she insists on being the center of attention. If the other dogs are being petted she will nudge them out of the way and place herself in between you and the other dogs. If they won't move she will begin to nibble on their ears or forelegs to get them to move over. She also loves to chew.... [more]

Entrant 3: Owen (Deanna Lates)
Tasha(DAM)/Tumble(SIRE) Litter
I was fifteen when I decided I was going to get a Tamaskan puppy, I just had to convince my father; easier said than done. It took thirteen months and a lot of begging for my dad to finally come to a compromise, and boy was I excited. All I had to do was get a job and pay for the down payment, and he would pay the rest as a birthday present. I got a job at the arcade down the street and it was awful. I hated that job for numerous reasons, but I went through it until I reached my goal of $400. I quit the day before my birthday and I rushed home to RightPuppyKennel.com.

It is tough to admit, but Owen was not my "love-at-first-sight" choice. I had my eye on puppy #5, however, he was bought before I could lay down my deposit. Owen is my "green puppy #2." In fact, just about everything I buy him is green because of it: his leashes, collars, beds, and ... [more]

Entrant 14: Kodiak (Kymberly Powley)
Tundra(DAM)/Tumble(SIRE) Litter
I have always loved wolves my entire life. My daughter, Chelsey and I were looking for a dog that resembled a wolf. We've considered a hybrid, but after reading what Pennsylvania required to have one, we decided against it. Chelsey was surfing the net and came across RightPuppy Kennel, Home of the Tamaskan, and we both instantly fell in love with the breed. I read through your site, did some research and everything seemed perfect for us, so I sent my deposit and we patiently waited.

When Kodiak was born, we were like two proud parents of a newborn baby. Chelsey was counting down the days to when we could bring him home. When the time finally arrived, We chose to drive down so we could see how the other Tamaskans interacted with us. Well...they acted like we were part of their pack and greeted us with wagging tails. Next thing we knew, out came a little fur ball, full of spunk. We scooped him up and he just kept licking us. My parents came along for the ride, they weren't too sure about traveling seven hours with a nine week old puppy. To our surprise, Kodiak got in the car, left out a little howl, and slept the whole way home (besides the occasional potty stop). ...[more]
