Tamaskan dogs are a Finnish dog breed cross-bred to resemble a wolf and wolfdog. Although their exact origins are uncertain, these mixbreed dogs were primarily arctic breed crosses of Alaskan Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Canadian Eskimo Dog, German Shepherd, Labrador Husky, and Siberian Husky . Tamaskans are not recognized as a breed by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale but are recognized as a breed by the American Rare Breed Association. Pedigrees are only managed by Tamaskan-specific breeder clubs.
