Coming from the crossbreeding of Nordic dogs, German Shepherds and several species of wolfhounds, Tamaskans resemble wolves in their morphology, proportions and power. They are tall, slender and light dogs with an athletic body. Agile and enduring, they are able to work as sled dogs, assistance dogs or tracking dogs and are also good pets. Their bodies are covered with a thick fur, their ears are erect, and their tails are straight and bushy.
