Eurasier Dog: overview, origin, temperament, description
Brief overview of the Eurasier breed:
The Eurasier (Eurasian) breed was created between the 1940’s and 1960’s in Germany. This dog was meant to be a restored version of the Russian Laika, and today’s Eurasier dog bears similarities to the Laika. The breeds used to create this dog were German Wolfspitz, Chow Chows and Samoyeds. The breed is very popular in its native Germany and throughout Europe, however it is considered rare on the North American continent. Eurasiers can be shy and timid but they are relatively quiet dogs and they seldom bark. Colors of their coats can vary from red, gray, fawn to black and mahogany. (white and pinto are not permitted) They are medium sized dogs, about 19-24” tall at the shoulder, and they weigh between 40 to 70 lbs.
