Kennel Terjeviken
Eurasier
Temperament
Quick to learn and eager to please, the
Eurasier tends to bond very strongly with its owner or family.
Eurasiers are easily trainable and pass obedience training without
problem. They bring excellent results in agility and track,
some are even avalanche search dogs. But the dog will always keep
its own personality. A person who looks for absolute obedience
should not adopt an Eurasier.
A robust breed with sled-dog capabilities, the Eurasier needs daily
outdoor exercise with its owner. Indoors, it tends to be calm and
quiet.
Reserved of strangers, the Eurasier is a natural watchdog.
Although quiet and friendly with its family, both human and canine,
it can become fierce if it senses a threat.
Eurasier History
The Eurasier is a modern breed, developed about 50 years ago by
Prof. Julius Wipfel in Germany. To create a large and distinctive
Spitz type of dog with beautiful colours and a mellow character,
he crossed Chow Chow males with large German Wolfspitz (Keeshond-type)
females. Later, he crossed a female of these breedings with a male
Samoyed. Good selection of stock since that time established the
breed, now known as the Eurasier.
A Colourful Breed
This hybrid origin and the fact that Eurasiers come in a whole
variety of colors, sometimes puzzles purebred dog fanciers. Colours
range through red, fawn, wolf grey, sable and black. The medium-length
coat is soft, straight, abundant and luxurious.
Thanks to its Chow ancestry, Eurasiers may have a blue tongue.
However, it is the diversity which makes the Eurasier. It ensures
that each individual puppy will develop into a unique personality in
look and character.
Height and Weigh
This handsome and imposing dog may measure up to 60 cm and weigh up
to 31.5 kg. Males can be between 23 - 32 kilos, at a shoulder height
of 52 - 60 cm, while females stay slightly smaller at about
18 - 26 kilos and 48 - 56 cm.
