History
The Eurasier breed was developed in Germany in the 1960s with the aim of breeding a family dog with the best characteristics of the Chow Chow, Keeshond and Samoyed - its ancestors. Breeder Julius Wipfel, along with Charlotte Baldamus and a small group of dog lovers, worked to create a breed that combined the appearance and robustness of a primitive dog with the gentleness and affection of a modern companion dog. The result of this work was the Eurasier. The breed was recognized by the FCI in 1973 and has since gained a loyal following in Europe and beyond.
The Eurasier was bred as a companion dog with a balanced temperament and is known for its family friendliness.

Character & Temperament
The Eurasier is an excellent family dog, known for its gentle and even-tempered temperament. He is extremely devoted to his family and displays impressive loyalty and love for those close to him. Despite his strong bond with his family, he is rather reserved and cautious towards strangers, but without being fearful or aggressive. Eurasiers are generally calm and easy-going dogs. They are not hyperactive, but still require daily exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. This dog has a strong independence and is not as easily impressed as some other breeds. Nevertheless, he is very people-oriented and loves the company of his people. It is important to note that Eurasiers do not like to be left alone. They tend to develop separation anxiety when left alone for long periods of time. In general, Eurasians are not known for strong hunting or prey-catching behavior. However, there can always be exceptions, so it is important to look at the dog as an individual and not just rely on breed characteristics. In terms of alertness, the Eurasier has a natural alertness and is always alert to his surroundings. However, he does not bark excessively and will only bark when he sees a reason to. This makes him a good watchdog without being a problem for the neighborhood. Although the Eurasier is a loving and gentle dog, he still needs consistent and loving training. With the right training and lots of positive reinforcement, the Eurasier can become a wonderful and loyal companion dog, well able to integrate into family life and accompany its people wherever they go. The Eurasier is a special dog whose unique mix of loyalty, gentleness and independence makes him a valuable member of any family. With his calm and balanced nature, his impressive appearance and his deep connection to his people, the Eurasier is a true treasure in the world of dogs.

Training & Education
Eurasiers are intelligent dogs that are willing and able to learn. They respond well to positive reinforcement and reward-based training techniques. It is important to start training at a young age and continue it consistently. This breed has a certain independence that needs to be taken into account during training. It is important to keep the training interesting and varied so that the Eurasier stays motivated. Sports like mantrailing or dog dancing can be a great way for the Eurasier to keep his mind and body busy. At the same time, exercises for frustration tolerance and impulse control should also be firmly anchored in the training plan in order to help the Eurasier to steer his independence in an orderly manner. Although the Eurasier likes to be active and busy, it is also important to watch for signs of stress or overwork. An over-employed dog can be just as unhappy as an under-employed dog. It is important to find a healthy balance.
Nutrition & Care
Eurasiers require a balanced diet to stay healthy. As with any dog, their diet should contain a good source of animal protein, along with carbohydrates for energy, fats for skin and coat health, and a variety of vegetables and fruits for vitamins and minerals. Caring for the Eurasier is relatively straightforward. They have a medium-length coat with a dense undercoat that should be brushed regularly to prevent matting and excessive hair loss. They shed particularly during the shedding phases in spring and autumn. Their fur is well suited to the climate in Germany; they can cope with both cold and warm temperatures, but in very hot temperatures you should ensure there is enough shade and enough water.
