We feed him on Oscar's kibble puppy food (chicken & rice flavour). However when his big moutian dog sister isn't looking he will grab a mouthfull of the adult version of fish & potato.

Yeah Lynn.... you did say he may not grow to the full size of the adult male...were living on stale bread and gruelto feed this monster ha ha.

Will try to get a more accurate height for him on Wednesday for the five month check.

I know this may upset claire(sorry!!) but his coat is also getting longer especially around his mane and tail. He would probably weigh a lot more if he didn't drool soooo much too when taking out in the car. We are thinking of buying him a st bernard bib or two.

Hey I hope you can make it to the show as cant wait to see this fella in the flesh???

No excuses please that you live in Somerset as Jenny and myself are off down south (5 hour trip) just to attend a committee meeting!!!!! and when we come back are straight up to Scotland for a Dog Show haha!!

Thanks for rubbing it in about his coat!!! I'm really jealous. His coat his much longer than Tala's. It's lovely and soft too!

Tala

0:5:0 (20 wks=5 mths)
Weight = 15.3kg
Height = 51 cms

I am sure Diesel isn't 5 months for another 10 days or so. I am slightly confused.

Last weigh in at the local vets was at 17.6 kg. He still looks really lean. Getting loads of thick maine so I think this is where the weight is coming from.

Luna is 17 weeks and weighs 8.9kg is she really small or are all the other just mega big!

Maybe I'm confused then! definitely think Tala is 20 weeks today

Yes, Jasper is 20 weeks old today. (Count the actual weeks from the date of birth, rather than go by the general month date... )

I'll try get him weighed this week, he's HUGE and only a bit smaller than my friend's female Akita... he's certainly surpassed the Siberian Husky that is 1 month older than him.

I can't believe how big Tala is but I'm glad I've got a girl all these boys are MASSIVE!!

Hi all,

Don't think we will be able to make the show...sorrrrry!. Annette has to oversee a project at work over that weekend (typical). And on top of that she has to go into hospital for an operation around then too.

Just a thought Lynn, when are you coming down south we could possibly meet up with you somewhere?. We did joke about letting claire take him up on our behalf but i don't think we would ever see him again ha ha.

Onai has just started to do that thing that bigger tamaskans do..... NO not that. you know they walk slowly along head down, swinging glances left and right just looking how they can get themselves into trouble.... it's like a swaggering wolf. Think someone needs to come with a new word that can be used for this behaviour if they haven't already. Maybe we should call it maskin....a cross between the breed and them trying to mask the fact that thier up to something.

Take care.... am expecting a call from claire any second, promising to bring him back!!!! ha ha.

Onai weight 15.9 kg height at shoulder 55 cm.

OOOOhhh pleasssseeee let Claire bring him up????

I'm more than happy to bring him up, as long as you promise that he won't drown Bru and Tala in the back with his drool!!!

I am sure we could arrange a rendevous

Dallas was measured today and is 51cm Her weight is proportionate. Dont have scales that work so cant weigh her.

It will be nice to compare all the babies at the coming show/bbq

Jasper @ 0:5:1 (21 weeks)

Weight = 19.85 Kg
Height = 58 cm (at shoulder)

Blimey we thought Onai was doing well! Gary says are you sure you are not missing any furniture you hadnt noticed he had eaten.... sofa......armchair maybe two! Dont bother with the sled just get him a saddle! Lol

I think he is going to be a giant tamaskan!

How does Diesel compare to Blaze when he was Diesel's age? I remember Lynn saying Blaze was (at the time) one of the biggest pups she's seen. Haha.

Juneau 15months and 80 lbs.

Hi all,

Onai has 3x 150g meals and the odd handfull in-between those. Mind you if anyone saw him eat or should i say scoff it down it looks like he hasn't been fed in a week ,so that sounds about right at 0.5kg per day. We also find if we feed him more than this in 1 meal he tends to go a little loose!.

Will measure and weigh Onai over weekend and post here as usual.

Bye for now,

Hi all,

Onai at 22 weeks, weight 17.2 kg height at shoulder 56 cm. It appears all the growth in past 2 weeks has been mostly in length and width!!!. Anyway it all still looks in proportion.

Have also put a couple of pics on here for any comments (nice ones only please) ha ha.

We took the cage away this week...., his poor little face when he saw Gary taking away his house arrr. We put down a nice new big bed for him to share with zeta. As you can see this proved to be to small to!.

Will post others pics on his own page of Onai.

Take care bye.

I just cant believe that this pup was the smallest in the litter!!!! The mind boggles. God knows how big the others are then haha!!

In my shock I forgot to say he looks stunning. Lovely conformation and head shape. That is one fantastic pic of him you have taken there, well done!

Hi Lynn,

Thankyou....however what you can't see is the lead attached to the tree to try to keep him in place, and the fact that Gary had to take about 40 shots just to get a few good ones...He seems to know just when to move or eat the tree....flowers...grass, am sure you are familiar with the senario. Hopefully we will get to see upto date photo's of the rest of the gang soon!.

As for the rest that's down to your hardwork in getting them like this.

Dosnt matter what you did the end result is good. To be a good photographer of dogs you have to have lots of tricks up your sleeve!

Diesel 5 Months - 22 weeks

Weight 20.9 kg
Height 59-60 cm @ shoulder

I notice this is almost the same as Sampo at 7 months - yikes. And most people think he is too skinny.

Good size Nick. Dont mistake thin for lean. A lot of the pups at this age are quite lean. They look their best at around 3yrs plus. QUite late maturing.

THanks Lynn, and yes he is indeed lean and not thin. I think the main reason people think this is because they initially think Diesel as a GSD. Almost every person thinks he is a GSD. I then go on to explain that GSD's are much broader and more stocky. And the Tamaskan is more lean and slender as they are working / running dogs amongst all the other plethora of diferences.

I had a swiss lady come up in awe the other day, commenting on how rare his type of fur was, with the black tip layering. SHe was very impressed and took lots of details down. Most impressed at the size as Diesel was only about a 3rd smaller than her rather larger BSD.

Hi

Onai's parents are Blustag Susi and Blustag Jackal .

Onai is still only a babe so not sure how big he will eventually be .
