BACKGROUND
Echo is my "Pick of the Litter" female offspring from my Moonsong litter who I kept for future breeding.
As soon as she was born, it was "love at first sight" but, as she developed, it was clear that she had inherited all of the best traits/features of both of her parents, Ash and Aurora.
Her parents are both first generation Tamaskan Dogs (Echo is a second-generation Tamaskan) and, as such, she represents the combination of two separate outcross bloodlines: Ash (Marxdorfer Wolfshunde X Tamaskan) X Aurora (White Swiss Shepherd X Tamaskan).
When Echo turned 1 year old, I financed all of the required health testing (hip/elbow x-rays + BVA evaluation, eye exam, as well as all the necessary DNA testing) for her to qualify as an official breeding dog and thankfully she got excellent results.
Echo lives with us at Sylvaen Acres, our family estate/homestead, and she is our much-loved personal companion and family pet.
In summer 2021, Echo had her first litter, which was sired by our co-owned stud dog Oberon (Sylvaen Bolton): "Hogwarts Houses" litter.
In summer 2022, Echo had her second litter, which was sired by our outcross stud dog Snow (Inyabu Gaspar at Sylvaen): "Paw Patrol" litter.
In winter 2023, we planned to breed Oberon X Echo as a repeat of our 2021 "Hogwarts Houses" litter.
Despite several matings in September 2023, with a planned ETA of November 2023, sadly Echo did not get pregnant. Since we also mated Astra with Oberon around the same time, and she also didn't get pregnant, it was obvious that Oberon was no longer fertile.
Unfortunately, this is a well-documented risk with older, intact male stud dogs. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) occurs at a rate of 80% of unneutered males over the age of 5, and 95% of unneutered males over the age of 9, leading to infertility.
Therefore, we decided to breed Echo with Ranger in spring 2024, and with Dusk in spring 2025. Unfortunately, those plans got flipped around due to unexpected circumstances.
In spring 2024, Echo had her third litter, which was sired by our outcross stud dog Dusk (Atreyu NeverEnding at Sylvaen): "Lovers" litter.
In spring/summer 2025, Echo will have her fourth (final) litter, sired by our outcross stud dog Ranger (LoneStar Ranger at Sylvaen).

TEMPERAMENT
Echo is extremely playful and very friendly. She gets along with everyone and all dogs. She is very easy-going overall, and a total pacifist.
She has a ton of patience and it really takes a LOT to provoke her, she isn't particularly submissive, but she would much sooner walk away from any kind of conflict, rather than get involved.
She is very goofy and relatively easy-to-train... she listens well and is quite eager to please (with the right motivation).
