The image in the infobox is from here, where it is clearly identified as a Northern Inuit Dog. If you don't like the image, feel free to provide another one or take one yourself- the standard for dog article pictures is to use an image of a stacked animal facing left without humans in the image, when it is available. --TKK! bark with me if you're my dog! 23:12, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
It says at the beginning "However there are lines that will show no Samoyed or Grey Wolf." If this were true, that this animal has no wolf roots, then they wouldn't even be dogs at all. All dogs are wolves. 12.17.177.164 (talk) 20:18, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
I propose to merge Tamaskan Dog into this article. The only reliable sources on the Tamaskan page are a few newspaper mentions that have little or no detail about the breed apart from them being a combination mixture of GSD, husky & malamute blood, whereas the sources on this page describe them as just a splinter line of the same Northern Inuit dog. All other sources on the Tamaskan page clearly fail WP:RS. This page could include the two sentences in the Tamaskan popular culture section. Cavalryman (talk) 21:58, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
The Tamaskan Dog is a distinct breed which is recognized by the American Rare Breed Association.
Specifically, they're under Group 5 on ARBA"s website: https://www.arba.org/Pages/gallery-group-5-breeds.htm
And here is the breed standard, also on ARBA's website: http://arba.org/PDF%20Files/Group%20Five/Tamaskan%20Dog%20Breed%20Standard.pdf
Wouldn't this fit the requirements for the Tamaskan Dog to be moved back to its own article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noxypaws (talk • contribs) 19:04, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
