Originated
The Eurasier was bred in Germany in the 1960s by Julius Wipfel. He aimed to create a companion dog that would be friendly, loyal, and well-suited to family life. He crossed a Chow Chow with a Wolfspitz (Keeshond) and then introduced some Samoyed blood to refine the breed's temperament. The Eurasier became popular in Europe in the 1970s.
Breed
Eurasiers are intelligent, calm, and gentle dogs who love to be around their families. They are good with children and other animals but can be reserved with strangers. They are moderate energy dogs who enjoy daily walks but do not require excessive exercise. Eurasiers are known for their independence and can be stubborn at times.
Today
The Eurasier is a popular breed in Europe and is gaining popularity in North America. They make excellent family pets and are prized for their loyalty and affectionate nature. Famous Eurasiers include Kari, the dog of German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.
How to care!
Exercise
Eurasiers are moderately active dogs who need daily exercise to keep them healthy and happy. They enjoy daily walks and playtime in a securely fenced yard. Mental stimulation is also important for this intelligent breed.
Nutrition
Eurasiers have a moderate appetite and should be fed a high-quality diet that is appropriate for their age, size, and activity level. They should be fed twice a day to avoid bloat and obesity.
Grooming
Eurasiers have a thick, double coat that requires regular brushing to keep it tangle-free and healthy. They shed seasonally and will need more frequent brushing during these times. Eurasiers should only be bathed when necessary to avoid drying out their skin.
Training
Eurasiers are intelligent dogs who respond well to positive reinforcement training methods. They can be independent and stubborn at times, so consistent training and socialization are important. Early training can help prevent problem behaviors such as separation anxiety and aggression towards strangers.
