Eurasier
The Eurasier, a medium-size canine developed in Germany fifty years ago, fuses the Wolf Spitz and Chow Chow breeds with later additions of Samoyed to create its unique genetic make-up. Its spitz characteristics are unmistakable: an angular head shape, distinguished pricked ears, and a glorious double coat that comes in numerous colors. The Eurasier is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after dog breeds due to its loyal nature combined with intelligent behavior traits.
As a result of the breeding, these puppies were true to type and reproduced themselves – thus birthing an entirely new breed. This breed was then acknowledged by both the German Kennel Club and Federation Cynologique Internationale (but not yet recognized by the American Kennel Club).
The Eurasier’s name is a tribute to the breed’s Asian and European heritage. Compared to other breeds, this pup can be slow to warm up with unfamiliar faces but will show unwavering loyalty towards their family members. They are not usually aggressive around strangers; however, they may not always appreciate being petted by them either! If you’re looking for an affectionate dog that loves everyone from the get-go then the Eurasier isn’t your best bet.
The Eurasier is a warm and welcoming family pet who can be incredibly tolerant of children, other pets and even strangers when properly socialized from an early age. Not only will it make for the most enjoyable experience, but he also makes for an excellent watchdog that remains alert without being overly noisy. With proper training and dedicated care, you’ll bring out the best qualities in your loyal companion!
The Eurasier is a content and low-maintenance dog that can be perfectly at home in apartments, condos, or any other living spaces. All he needs to stay healthy and happy is one or two pleasant walks each day.
This smart pup is eager to learn, reacting favorably when clicker training and positive reinforcement methods such as playtime, compliments, and edible rewards are employed. Training sessions should be kept brief yet enjoyable for the Eurasier; otherwise, he may become disinterested.
With a full coat of fur, the Eurasier is surprisingly easy to groom. All you need to do is brush him weekly and remove excess hair during his biannual shedding period which lasts for about three weeks, at which point extra brushing will be essential in order to keep control over the loose strands. Other than that, just make sure he gets regular nail trims, ear cleanings and dental hygiene maintenance!
