Adopt Elo Shelter Dogs

The Elo breeding project began in 1987 under the name “Eloschaboro”, which is intended to refer to the three main original breeds – Eurasier, Bobtail and Chow Chow. In order to broaden the breeding base and expand the gene pool, Samoyeds and Dalmatians were later crossbred. The focus of the crossing was on the Eurasier and the Bobtail, which continue to be occasionally crossed into the Elo. The aim of the breeding project was to breed a family and companion dog that would combine the advantages of these breeds. The selection was primarily based on temperament and health; coat type and color were secondary. The standard was also drafted with health in mind: pricked ears to avoid ear infections, a straight back to prevent hip dysplasia, and a curled tail to avoid banging against objects, reducing the risk of injury.
