The Eurasier breed originates from Germany and is a relatively new Spitz- type dog.  In the 1950's Herr Wipfel, wanting to develop a healthy, family  orientated dog, undertook research to find two older breeds he could cross.  He already owned a Wolfspitz (Keeshond) and decided to mate this with a Chow Chow.  This new breed was named the Wolf-Chow.  In 1972 Herr Wipfel in consultation with the leading breeders chose to include the Samoyed as well.  The breed was recognised by the German Kennel Club (VDH) in 1973 and was renamed the Eurasier.

The Major Characteristics are:

Reserved with strangers, they are not fearful they just like to make friends on their own terms.  This stems from them being a breed that "grows up", just like their ancestor the wolf who has a natural reserve to new situations.    

Sensitive/intelligent easy and rewarding to train.  They respond to kindness and consistency, rather than the harsher forms of dog training.

You need to treat the Eurasier like a member of your family.  They need to be with you, if possible, at all times and do not liked being kennelled.

Although bred to be the perfect family dog, they may not be the perfect dog for everyone.  We highly recommend meeting adult Eurasiers and their owners to talk about the positive and negative aspects of this breed before making a decision.
