Can a Tamaskan be an off-leash hiking dog for active owners?

Question

Is a tamaskan the right dog to add to my little pack? I want a exercise buddy able to go on long hikes with me (and be able to keep up) off leash walking is a key factor for me as its my favorite thing to do with my dogs(not near any busy roads) all my other dogs are kinda couch potato's so I think I'd like a tamaskan I first saw one at a nearby park and the lady had it off leash it zoomed around but didnt run away if I got one could I walk it off leash?

Being able to be trusted off leash is a skill that must be trained. You can't expect a dog of any breed to have this capability inherently. If you get a puppy or an older dog and you really desire to have it be trusted off leash, you'll need to get the help of a good trainer to do so.
