We are breeders of the Tamaskan Dog located in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan. As ethical purposeful breeders of Tamaskan we are committed to the continued health temperament and workability of the breed. We strive to go above and beyond the required health testing and continue to prove this breed has a place by mid distance sled dog racing, dryland racing, conformation showing, and participating in a variety of sports (Weight Pull, Barnhunt and recently scent work). Basalt is a registered breeder through The Tamaskan Dog Register (TDR).
