Today was a very interesting, exciting, and adventurous day for Bennie (Sylvaen Lore)… ☺️

Firstly, this morning he had a nice warm bath, which he really enjoyed, with plenty of puppy shampoo so he was fresh and clean for his Big Day Out. 🥳

Next, he dried off on our bed, which was great fun (lots of rampaging around)… and then we drove with him to do some shopping at Bauhaus (similar to Home Depot) where he met a lot of people and had a great time. He was the Goodest Boy and he really enjoyed the experience and being driven around in the shopping cart (videos incoming!) 💖

Finally, we went to the Government Veterinarian in Zaprešić for his health inspection and to prepare his TRACES documents that are required for EU Commercial Movement. 🇪🇺

Tomorrow Bennie will be 15 weeks old and he will be heading to the airport for the pre-flight check-in before flying to his new home in Sweden. 🇸🇪

It’ll be a big adventure for him, but I’m sure he will be very happy with his new family. 🥰

🎉 Facebook recognised me as a consistent reels creator this week!

Meanwhile… during the same timeframe, Facebook’s new “automated technology” (AI) system has gone haywire. 😱

The new META AI system automatically flags content that it deems to have violated Facebook’s “Community Standards”.

In particular, Facebook does not allow content pertaining to Animal Sales. However, the bigger issue is that, if you actually read the smallprint rules of the Community Standards, under the section regarding Animal Sales: such content is not permitted EXCEPT if it is posted on behalf of a legitimate retail business, brick-and-mortar entity, legitimate website (etc) which includes registered, licensed breeders.

So, it seems the new Facebook AI “technology” was only “trained” to read/interpret the basic rules, and not the full smallprint / exceptions to the rules! Moreover, the AI system has the authority to pass judgment (and act upon it) by removing content that it deems to be “against the rules” and implementing account restrictions on pages that “break” the rules (even if no rules have actually been broken!)

Obviously, this is an absolute nightmare! 🤦‍♀️

Even better, there is an option to appeal the decision by “requesting a review” which is conducted by the same automated AI system that flagged the offending content in the first place! The “review” process entails selecting one of the multiple choice options, which are completely irrelevant to the issue at hand (such gems include “it was a mistake” or “I think it should be allowed” or “I posted it as a joke”… without any option to choose “I am a legitimate business” or “the content is permitted and the AI system made a mistake” etc).

As a result, the content stayed down and my page (and personal account) were then hit with multiple account restrictions, including: not allowed to participate in groups or calls for 24 hours, de-monetisation, reduced exposure, not allowed to invite new followers to like my page for 1 year! etc)… 🙈

Thousands of other legitimate (licensed/registered) breeders have faced the same problems thanks to Meta’s new AI technology system, and the best part is that there is no way to resolve it as there is no way to contact an actual human who can address these issues.

The only provided option was to “appeal to the Oversight Board” which I did, but it will take several weeks to determine IF the Oversight Board will even accept my case, let alone take steps to rectify it.

In the meantime, there was the option to appeal to an EU “out-of-court dispute settlement agency” which I also did, but so far I haven’t heard anything back from them.

It is incredibly frustrating and many legitimate, registered breeders have been unfairly and wrongly targeted by this stupid new “automated technology” AI system, which hasn’t even been trained to read the actual rules… and now we have been hit with erroneous account restrictions as a result and there is no proper oversight or judicial process that involves real human interaction to resolve it (just more roundabout AI nonsense, talking in circles with copy/paste automated responses).

It was recommended (by the AI system) to post future sales content without mentioning “sales” along with a “disclaimer” (citing business license information) but the damage has already been done since existing content has been removed and the account restrictions remain in place.

I can only hope that the Oversight Board will step in or that the “out-of-court dispute settlement agency” will provide some resolution but, even so, it will take time and nothing might come of it. The whole process is incredibly time-consuming and frustrating, because legitimate content is automatically flagged and repercussions are instantly implemented without any real review or appeal process.

I’ve also paid hundreds of euros in advertising costs to Facebook over the years, so it is really a slap in the face and the only thing the AI bot could suggest was that I should pay an additional monthly sum for a Meta Verified Business account, with a hefty monthly fee starting at 17 EUR per month per account, all the way up to 550 EUR per month per account, just for the privilege to be able to file a complaint with a human worker, rather than an AI bot. 🤦‍♀️

What a time to be alive… the future is now, and it’s s**t. Complaints about AI artwork were just the start, now AI is responsible for enforcing rules that it hasn’t even read or understood properly, and what will be next? AI Police? AI Justice System? AI hospitals? Skynet… Blade Runner… it’s a Brave New World alright and you’ll have to be really brave for what’s coming next. It’s almost like we should have been paying more attention to all those dystopian novels and films, rather than using them as a guideline… but here we are. So it goes.

If you got this far and this post was informative or helpful for you, please feel free to share it so we can hopefully spread some awareness about this issue. Thanks for reading, and have a nice day! ☺️

PINK female (Sylvaen Fairytale) - AVAILABLE! 💖

Please email [email protected] if you are interested! 🥰

She is the last available puppy from our “Story” litter (Ranger X Zima) and we won’t be having puppies again until late spring / early summer 2025.

Sylvaen Fairytale has been dewormed 6 times (at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks old) and she is now fully vaccinated (Canigen x3 at 7, 10, and 13 weeks old) and vaccinated against rabies (Rabisin) at 12 weeks old.

She has been DNA tested via EMBARK and her parents are fully health tested with excellent results (hip and elbow x-rays and official evaluation, eye exam, cardiac auscultation, EMBARK DNA, etc). All of their health certificates are published on our website: www.Tamaskans.Sylvaen.com

She can go to live anywhere in Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Hungary, etc) from 15+ weeks old: 11 December onward! We are not keeping puppies for the USA (must be 6+ months old) at this time, since we have a newborn baby due in late December.

DISCLAIMER: as per Facebook’s Community Standards: “We do not allow content that attempts to buy, sell or trade live non-endangered animals EXCEPT WHEN: Posted by a Page, group or Instagram profile representing legitimate brick-and-mortar entities, including retail businesses, legitimate websites, brands or rehoming shelters, or a private individual sharing content on behalf of legitimate brick-and-mortar entities.”

We are a legitimate retail business (professional dog breeder) registered with the Croatian Ministry of Agriculture (license number: HR 191/64/15 P) and our Family Farm (OPG Sylvaen) is also registered (MIBPG: 276758 / maticni broj poljoprivrednika: 50283421) “A 01.49 - UZGOJ OSTALIH ZIVOTINJA (sifra i naziv djelatnosti)” and we are also in the EU VAT (tax) system, so this content is permitted as per Facebook’s Community Standards (which the new AI “automated technology” system has not been properly trained to interpret)… hopefully this post won’t be flagged, nor result in yet more erroneous automatic Account Restrictions… 🙄

Please feel free to share this post 🥰

We are devastated to share the tragic news that our occasional petsitter (and full-time animal lover) has passed away.

Karmen will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She was always so positive, kind, and helpful… deeply devoted to her dogs, and all creatures great and small. Her bright and friendly personality left a lasting impression on everyone she met, and the world is a little darker without her in it.

Our sincere condolences to her family and friends. Rest in peace, Karmen. 💔😢

UPDATE:

For 2025, we've decided to reduce some of our Extended Stay prices...

https://tamaskans.sylvaen.com/extended_stay.html

Despite the increasing cost of fuel (driving to / from the veterinary clinic, socialization excursions, etc) and utility bills (heating, electricity, water, etc) and increased veterinary costs (microchips, pet passports, vaccines, etc) as well as the higher costs of puppy food and cleaning products and accountant fees, we've decided to absorb some of these costs ourselves, since the global inflation / recession is impacting everyone, just enough to cover our basic operating costs and the services we provide.

For families in the USA: we are hoping that the CDC will amend the new import laws on/after 30 April 2025, so that puppies from rabies-free EU countries will once again be able to travel to the USA under 6 months old. At this time, we are not able to keep puppies until they are 6+ months old (in accordance with the current CDC import laws, from 1 August 2024 onward) since we have a newborn baby due in December, but hopefully the existing rules will be amended once the alleged 9-month "trial period" has expired.

Hanging out with Bennie (Sylvaen Lore) at the Government Veterinarian Station in Zaprešić while we wait for his TRACES documents to be prepared… he can be calm and relaxed when necessary, curious and interested when out in public, and also has moments of excitement and playfulness when it suits him… overall, a nicely balanced and well-rounded young pup 🥰💖☺️🐺

Shopping at Bauhaus with Bennie (Sylvaen Lore) 💖

Hunter (Sylvaen Myth) after his bath today 🥰🐺💖

Ice (Sylvaen Legacy) after his bath. He is so gentle, calm and mellow… a really easygoing boy who will be quite large when he is full-grown! 🥰🐺💖

City wolf 😂 walking around Zaprešić center with Vitani (Sylvaen Pagan) last night… it was a very warm evening and really crowded so it was quite a slow walk because Vitani wanted to stop to say “Hi!” to Every. Single. Dog. Along the way 😂 since it’s been so hot lately, everyone is out walking their dogs in the evening time ☺️

Basic leash-work with Sylvaen Valentine… practicing walking with distractions (cats) and learning to sit and be calm. He is only 16 weeks old but he is making really good progress and he’s a wonderful pup overall. He is still looking for the perfect family home. ☺️

Puppy playgroup 🥰 soon the last few puppies will be leaving to go to their new homes, so we figured we would put the last 2 puppies from each litter all together to play in the meadow, and to splash in the pool to cool off… 2 females from Sable’s litter (Asatru and Pagan, 4 months old), 2 males from Echo’s litter (Cupid and Eros, 3 months old) and a male (Sirius) and a female (Capella) from Astra’s litter… they all had a blast and it was so much fun to watch them all playing together! It was also really interesting to see the differences between the puppies, since they are all first generation G1 Tamaskan puppies… not just size and appearance and coat colors, but also the differences in personalities of the different litter combinations. For instance, Sable’s and Astra’s puppies loved splashing in the paddling pool, whereas Echo’s puppies were not so keen. Really fascinating to watch! ☺️

Spay Day: at the vet clinic with Everest, waiting for the sedation to take effect prior to her surgical sterilisation (spay) procedure. The sedative made her a bit nauseous but she soon fell asleep without too much stress. Thankfully the surgery went well and she is now resting and recovering back at home. #spay #surgery #healthtesting #responsiblebreeding

The “Earth Worship” puppies had a wonderful time playing in the meadow with the children this afternoon 🥰🐺💖

Our “Earth Worship” puppies went outside today for the first time at the age of 3.5 weeks old… they were a little skeptical at first but they soon discovered that they love the great outdoors 🐺💖 #puppies #puppy #tamaskan #wolflookalike #lowcontent #wolfdog #wolf #spring #springtime #spring2024
