Overall, the Tamaskan breed is healthy and has few serious genetic inherited diseases. This is primarily due to extensive health testing so that only healthy dogs are allowed to breed. But it is also the result of registered breeders fully reporting any serious health problems so that carriers (and potential carriers) can be identified. In this way, reputable breeders can ensure that the bloodlines of carriers (and potential carriers) are not deliberately crossed. [Source: Tamaskan Dog Register]
