List of domestic dogs

The Eurasier is a German dog breed recognized by the FCI (FCI Group 5, Section 5, Standard No. 291) .

Origin and history

The Eurasier dog breed began to emerge in 1960 in Weinheim , when Julius Wipfel, the breed's founder , together with Charlotte Baldamus and a small group of enthusiasts, set themselves the goal of breeding a new breed of dog as sled dogs that should also be suitable as family dogs . Wipfel was inspired by reports from Konrad Lorenz , who had carried out studies on a Chow-German Shepherd mix. Konrad Lorenz and Ruth Gruhn from the Institute for Pet Genetics at the University of Göttingen helped with the breeding.

The targeted intersection of Wolfspitz -Hündinnen and Chow - dogs first emerged Wolf-Chows , later in the twelve years of Samoyed was crossed. The breed was recognized as a Eurasier by the VDH and the FCI in 1973 .

description

The Eurasier is a medium-sized (up to 60 cm at 32 kg), pointed family dog ​​with a medium-heavy build. The following colors are used: wolf gray, wolf colored, fawn, red, black or black with markings, with the exception of pure white, white spotted and liver colored. The fur of the Eurasier is made up of a dense undercoat and long guard hair. Short-haired Eurasiers are extremely rare. A Eurasier has a blue, more or less blue spotted or flesh-colored tongue.

Essence

The Eurasier is a self-confident, alert, calm and balanced family dog ​​that combines the characteristics of the original breeds. He is attentive (Wolfsspitz) without barking. He shows restraint (chow-chow) towards strangers, but without being fearful or aggressive. He has a high stimulus threshold. He is a friendly companion (Samoyed) for his family, with whom he needs constant contact. To fully develop these characteristics, the Eurasier, like every dog , needs a competent, loving and consistent training.

Breed clubs

In Germany, Austria and Switzerland there are some breeding associations that belong to the FCI through their respective umbrella organizations:

There are three Eurasier clubs in the VDH : the Eurasier Klub Sitz Weinheim (EKW); the Zuchtgemeinschaft für Eurasier (ZG) and the Cynological Zuchtgemeinschaft Eurasier (KZG). In the ÖKV , the Eurasier is bred in the Eurasier Club Austria (ECA) and in the SKG in the Swiss Eurasier Club.
