Welcome

Message from the TDDP

The Tamaskan Dog Diversity Project (TDDP) is a breed specific project that is working in cooperation with other companies and organizations to develop a plan, database, and sharable information based off testing and compiling data on the Tamaskan Dog population.
 

Philosophy

Our Core Values

The TDDP was founded in order to offer an ethical, science based approach to Tamaskan Dog breeding and upkeep. Our ethics and values are the basis of our organization and without them we could not offer the services we do.

Why Choose Us

We are an independent organization that is fully inclusive of all Tamaskan organizations and registered Tamaskan dogs. Our motivation and goal is to better the breed on a whole and educate the community.

The TDDP works with various research companies and other breed diversity projects to gather data on dogs suffering from inbreeding depression, health issues and other data in an effort to better understand how a multitude of factors play into breed vitality. 

While purebred dog breeds strive to work towards saving their beloved breed, the TDDP works with Tamaskan Dog breeders and registries to do the opposite: find answers on how to create a new, thriving, sustainable breed population and, with assistance of these research companies and breed diversity projects, implement the action plan. One goal is to work towards creating a healthy breed from the opposite side of the spectrum - from the beginning.
The TDDP continues to offer tools and novel ideas on breed development to influence other breed clubs and groups to implement. 

A few ideas implemented so far are partnering with breed clubs to offer data sharing options to make it more seamless for breeders and clubs to share data through our beta program options.
The TDDP strives to instill a sense of community regardless of breed and location in the world. Through working with other breed diversity projects, breed clubs and inclusive of Tamaskan Dog look-alikes, we inspire helping each other to find answers to the mysteries and issues that affect our dogs.
