Extended Breeding Plans and Ideas:

This section is about where we hope our breeding program will go in 2-5 years, not just this year or next year. We’ve listed potential breeding plans and ideas that we have for our kennel beyond the litters we are currently accepting applications for. We understand that some homes aren’t ready to commit “right now” for one of our upcoming litters, but still want to learn more about what our extended plans may be - we hope this section is helpful for those who need to plan ahead.

While the ideas listed below may include dogs who are currently underage, or who haven’t passed their final health testing yet, we want to reiterate that ALL breeding dogs used within our program are 2+ years old, have passed their final health testing, and have had their temperament and conformation fully evaluated prior to breeding. The timing listed below for these litter ideas is NOT final and is subject to adjustment. The times given are simply the “earliest” a litter idea could happen, based on the age(s) of the dog(s). As a reminder, we very strongly prefer to have several deposits secured for a specific litter BEFORE it’s produced. There have already been several litters we have postponed or even cancelled, due to a lack of secured homes.

Please note we are NOT accepting applications for the litter ideas listed below, and that our breeding plans are subject to change or cancellation at any time. Please see the above sections for our confirmed breeding plans that we’re accepting applications for.

• April 2026: [Wolven Gazehound] x Wolves USA Cassiopeia “Cassie” - We are following one of Dyson and Bia’s sons from their 2023 Wolven Gazehound litter and hope to use his stud services for a ~50% Mid Content Wolfdog Litter with Cassie, which would be whelped in April 2026. Once he turns 2 years old in 2025, we’ll ask for updated photos and videos of him, as well as a detailed description of his temperament. He’ll undergo testing for OFA Hips, Elbows, Patellas, Advanced Cardiac (Echocardiogram plus 24-hour Holter monitor), Dentition, Thyroid, and CAER + Gonioscopy eye exam. He’s already tested via Embark for Breed + Health. Puppies from this litter could be either Black Phase, Sable (aka fawn), and traditional Wolf Gray coat colors, with all three of those options highly likely to phase to white with age. We’d be expecting active puppies who will thrive in homes who like to hike, do harness sports, dog sports, etc. Should be very outgoing, friendly, and social with strangers. Moderate to high prey drive, but it should be manageable with training. Likely around 29-31 inches tall, and very leggy with sleek wolfy heads. This litter would be eligible for USA Homes Only. This will be Cassie’s second (final) litter.

• Summer/Fall(?) 2026: Kadin of the First Triangle "Deejay" x Shivermaw of the Ebon Blade “Mint” - 1st Generation Tamaskan Dog litter, registered with the TDR and ARBA. This will be an Outcross litter, using TDR-approved Outcross stud Deejay, who is a lovely bench-bred Groenendael that lives in the Netherlands. This litter will be F6 ~10% wolf content, which falls under the breed’s global average for wolf content (which is around 15% wolf content on average, across all 5 official Tamaskan Dog registries). All puppies in this litter will be Black Gray (aka Seal) and long coat carriers. Puppies from this litter should be very trainable. Potential breeding homes, sporting homes, and homes who are interested in conformation showing through ARBA, ICE, IABCA, and ICKC will be prioritized for this litter. Deejay has produced two stunning TDR registered Tamaskan Dog litters so far, but they’re both primarily located in Europe. Only one of Deejay’s offspring, a beautiful daughter, has made her way to the United States, so we feel that this litter between Deejay and Mint will help to further contribute Deejay’s valuable genetics to the North American Tamaskan Dog gene pool. This litter would be eligible for USA and International homes where F6 wolfdogs are legal.

• April 2027: Cottonwoodz Genn Greymane x Sylphrena - 95%+ High Content Wolfdog Litter. Syl just turned 2 years old back in April 2024 (omg!) and will be undergoing her OFA health testing this coming November. Provided she passes, we plan to pair her to Genn in 2027. Black phase, Wolf Gray, and Arctic Type coat colors will all be possible in this litter, and it’s extremely likely that all three coat colors will phase to white with age. We’d be expecting very sweet, mild-tempered, cuddly pups who should do well living indoors, enjoy training, and be able to enjoy public outings with their owners. Puppies from this litter may be friendly to politely aloof of strangers. Although both Genn and Syl have quite large parents (around 31-33 inches tall!), Genn and Syl are themselves on the “smaller” side, with Genn being 28.5 inches and Syl being 27.5 inches tall. As such, it’s possible that puppies from this litter will also be on the "small" side for high contents, around 27-29 inches tall. This litter has only a 4% estimated COI per Embark. This litter will be eligible for USA and Canadian Homes Only.

• Summer/Fall(?) 2027: Winecup of the Ebon Blade “Teddy” x Shivermaw of the Ebon Blade “Mint” - F5 ~26% Low Content Wolfdog Litter. Exact timing will depend on Mint’s heat cycle timing. (These will NOT be Tamaskan Dogs, but we would ideally like to see 2-3 puppies from this litter placed in potential breeding homes, to eventually propose as potential ‘Partial Outcross’ candidates for the Tamaskan Dog Register’s breeding program. This litter would incorporate a brand-new bloodline/sire line via Anubis, the sire of Buddy and Teddy, to the Tamaskan Dog gene pool. Anubis is almost entirely unrelated to all of the other wolfdogs who have been used in the Tamaskan Dog breed to date.) Seal Black and traditional Wolf Gray coat colors are both possible in this litter, but they will NOT phase, besides maybe getting white muzzles with age. We’d be expecting pups who are very goofy, playful, likely fairly vocal, and would enjoy an active lifestyle, but will also have a good off switch and enjoy cuddle time, too. Even homes who just casually enjoy hikes or want to try harness sports or other dog-friendly activities would be a great fit. Moderate prey drive is likely, which should be easily managed with training. This litter is likely to be "small," around 25-28 inches tall. Only a 1% eCOI per Embark. This litter would be eligible for USA and International homes where F5 wolfdogs are legal.

  • Note about this litter: We’ll be health testing Greenthread of the Ebon Blade “Buddy” (Teddy’s littermate brother), to evaluate his suitability as a stud for Mint, as well. There are qualities that I really like in each boy that the other doesn’t possess. I really wish I could just combine Teddy and Buddy into one dog! Because we prefer to limit the number of litters our females produce, we expect that dual-siring this litter with both Buddy and Teddy paired to Mint will almost certainly be the plan, provided Buddy passes his health testing. Buddy and Teddy will be approximately 8 years old by the time this litter is expected to be born in Summer 2026. All of our litters are already Embarked by us, with Embark also verifying parentage for each puppy, prior to any of the puppies going home. We want to emphasize that each puppy’s paternity results will be published publicly prior to each puppy being assigned to its new home.

• Summer/Fall(?) 2026 or 2027: [Tamaskan Stud] x Voragosa of the Ebon Blade “Seven” - 2nd Generation Tamaskan Dog litter, registered with the TDR and ARBA. We will be on the lookout for Tamaskan Dog stud options in the coming years who will be compatible with Seven. She isn’t quite as typey as her littermate sister, Mint, so I think I’ll have to be fairly picky about what stud I pair Seven to, in order to best offset her faults and complement her strengths. Provided we’re successful in finding a Tamaskan Dog stud to pair with Seven, potential breeding homes, sporting homes, and homes who are interested in conformation showing through ARBA, ICE, IABCA, and ICKC will be prioritized for this litter. Wolf content for this litter is to be determined upon selection of a stud (Seven is F5 19.0% wolf content). This litter would be eligible for USA and International homes where F5+ wolfdogs are legal. This would very likely be Seven’s only litter.

• 2026-2028(?) - Spinestalker of the Ebon Blade “Hawthorn” x [Tamaskan Dog and/or Outcross] - We’d really love to find a nice female or two to pair with Hawthorn. He’s one of our co-owned stud prospect Tamaskan Dog boys from our 2022 Frostbrood Litter. Ideally, I’d love to see him sire one G2 Tamaskan Dog litter with a G1 or G2 Tamaskan Dog bitch, and then one G1 Outcross Tamaskan Dog litter with a TDR-approved Foundation bitch. We’ll be on the lookout in the coming years. He’s got really nice breed type, but he’s TINY, so we’d love to find a bigger girl for him to breed back up in size. Hawthorn is having his health testing done in late 2024! We’re super excited for the results and will make sure to update our website once they’re in, but we won’t be breeding him until after he turns 3 years old, so we still have plenty of time to plan. His litter with a Tamaskan Dog bitch would be registered and sold under the bitch owner’s kennel, but we’ll certainly help advertise when the time comes!

• 2026-2028(?) - Rimefang of the Ebon Blade “Kodi” x [Tamaskan Dog and/or Outcross] - As with Hawthorn, we will also be on the lookout in the coming years for a compatible female or two for Kodi to hopefully sire 1-2 litters with. Kodi also has nice type, but is within the Breed Standard’s accepted size range, so we’ll be less restricted on size when searching for girls to pair him with. It would be nice to see Kodi also produce one G2 Tamaskan Dog litter and one G1 Outcross Tamaskan Dog litter. Kodi will be going through his OFA health testing in spring-summer 2025, and we’ll be sure to update our website with his results once they’re available! His litter with a Tamaskan Dog bitch would be registered and sold under the bitch owner’s kennel, but we’ll certainly help advertise when the time comes!
