What do you get when you combine the best
qualities of the Chow, Keeshond and Samoyed? Professor Julius
Wipfel decided to find out back in the 1940's in Germany, and
developed a very unique breed known as the Eurasier. Originally
intended for use as a sled dog, the Eurasier is a hearty breed
that does well in the great outdoors, but is a very social dog
that loves to be part of the family. Eurasiers love children and
family life, making them wonderful indoor dogs and family
companions. Wary of strangers, Eurasiers make great watch dogs,
although they are reserved rather than aggressive about it.
Grooming requirements for this breed are moderate; the soft,
luxurious, medium-length coat requires regular brushing,
especially during seasonal shedding. Colors range from blond to
sable, red, grey and black, and the breed can have a interesting
blue-black tongue. Males weigh up to 70 pounds and measure up to
23 inches, with females being proportionately smaller. If you are
looking for a great all-round family dog, the Eurasier is an
excellent choice! Clean, quiet, intelligent, easy to train and
very eager to please, this very well could be the perfect dog if
you have a good vacuum and don't mind a bit of dog hair. A daily
walk is required to keep the Eurasier happy and healthy.
