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.
