Questions (What are Northern Inuits like as pets) Questions

I wonder why.

All of this is going nowhere productive, I will leave you to it.

well i have just been on the tida website.

and?? (I don't mean that the way it sounds )

I said forum not website

It is the forum not the website.

Common knowledge to some I am afraid, although it was denied last year and the person was to take the rspca to court for slander as I remember, however it is still available on the rspca website for all to see. So I don't know how well the court case went? ;-)

Anyway I have been doing my own digging, talk about a mess, I must say the NIS does advertise puppies as wolf lookalikes, so if they were denying that then they need to do a search of the net there are hundreds. They also state that they imported inuit dogs under one breath, under the next the founding breeds are Sibe/mal/GSD. It also says that "legend has it" the inuit people staked out several bitches to have them mated by wolves whats the truth here?

I have seen does at stud which are just of age without any mention of health testing, even though there are sections to put your hip score/eye test. Again NIS for sure and if I am correct then I have seen one advert from the TIDA.

In all of my searching I could find hundreds of unsuitable advertisements from NIS members and very few, I think two from TIDA members. Yet the mudslinging seems to be coming from NIS people as far as I can see.

I have searched the web in order to find answers to my questions and have come up more confused than ever. On several websites there are blatant contradictions how anyone can decipher the truth is beyond me.

To point out at a particular advert for NIS registered puppies "The Northern Inuit is a rare breed which is in the process of being recognised by the KC"

Anyone can do the searches I have done so I would suggest that anyone who wants to own a NI and searches the net will ultimately end up confused.

[OUOTE =Cheynne] Exactly what I was thinking

Cheyenne, first you say you were wondering why Sutty wasn't approved now you are being sarcastic and saying 'I wonder why' !!!!!!

Zuba the reason you have hardly found any TIDA adverts is because they have hardly any 'true' breeders to produce puppies. The breeder with the most puppies produced this year was their CP. Oh and the breeder that introduced Huskie into her NIDs, I think she had a few litters.

Ref the NIS and the wolf thing some breeders advertise as wolf look alikes some don't.

If people want to advertise as wolf look a likes, i dont really see the harm, as long as people are told there is no wolf content.

"In the 1980's several Inuit/Husky type dogs were imported by various individuals and a few specimens of the progeny of these were selectively bred for type and size with northern breeds, such as Malamute and Husky crosses and German Shepherds for trainability, to create a breed with a wolfish appearance and submissive temperment. "
from the Cheyenne Northern inuit dog website associated with TIDA.

So 1 source where the wolf content is a reason for existence. And not from the NIS. Enuf was made of the NIS posters having wolf usernames etc.
Also pics of visits to Wolves, and other interesting content.

"Some reports claimed that Northern Inuit's could not be trusted off the lead like Husky's, and recall was impossible, they are very difficult to train, are very stubborn (they can be strong willed but not stubborn) and have a number of health problems. Not true!"
from the Cheyenne Northern inuit dog website associated with TIDA.
Maybe TIDA representative breeders dont believe that there are any health problems to report either?



MY point is to the neutral posters, i.e. NOT NIS or TIDA. That are helping sling accusations one away or the other.
We dont know the truth, so unless you are being constructive WHY post? These non constructive posts are there for all to see. Its clear there are more than the 2 NID factions with banner to wave.

Sounds like NIDs make good pets when placed in the right home, there are health concerns to be aware of and care to be taken when choosing your breeder. Sounds like any breed to me

btw: wolves and the ancestry of the domestic dog?
Just a side point to remind those who have an issue with it.

I didn't say I couldn't find their ads, I said I searched to find "unsuitable advertisements" in which I could only find two from TIDA, I looked for ones with no mention of health checks and wolf type.

Very good post ;-)

I came up with similar stuff a while back although my comments were removed, when I mentioned the lies that some members website states.

I have so many questions that people will not answer and I dont think they ever will. I personally have NO problem with the dogs and I really feel sorry for them, because the owners/breeders etc do any of them any favours by all the contradicting statements and lies told.

I dont think it will ever be resolved !

I just tried to view the TIDA forum also "You do not have permission to view this board

You are not logged in, you may log in below"

Might help the public with the breed if it was in public view?

The most sensible thing Ive seen all day

Ancestry has nothing to do with it ! Besides it's so far back it makes little difference in domestic dogs.

Wolf content is illegal and therefore is not something that should be bragged about when it isn't true !

i really dont care what you belive,i said ive never been banned from keeking dogs,and i stand by what i said ive never ever been banned from keeping dogs not for five years or five minutes.youve spent all evening running down the northern inuit society and are members,what the **** is up with you have you got nothing better to do.people that know me have seen the court transcripts so know the whole story,but im not going to explain myself to some of you.as for tida chairperson well ive seen more crulty and suffering there than anywere else and i do belive she has a few problems of her own to sort out now hmm.im not going to call anyone in tida i cant be bothered,but intresting why not ring there listof breedersand see how many are really with them.

The harm begins when founder breeders say they have nothing to do with Wolves, were NOT bred to look like them and the breed standard doesnt mention them! As I said, its like referring to my Borders as being "Ferret look a likes" when they are nothing to do with them, to me Sutty, its a handle, a way to get peoples attention and possibly more sales.

If you looked for suitable adds from TIDA you wouldn't find that many more than you have already found, if anymore. If you look at the TIDA website you will find that they advertise stud dogs and only 2 or is it 3 are hip scored? Look on the NIS (but you may have to look at individual websites as I am not sure the website itself lists these dogs) most of the breeding dogs have had their hip scores.

I had to laugh, no offence meant
