History
The Eurasier is a relatively new breed, originating in 1972 in Germany. The Euasier's creator, Julius Wipfel, wanted to create a family-oriented breed with the social behavior of a wolf. In 1960, he crossed Chow Chows with Wolfspitz's to create a "Wolf-Chow". In 1972, the first Eurasier was born when he crossed his "Wolf-Chows" with Samoyeds. Today, there are many cases of unethical breeders crossing Keeshonds with Chow Chows and trying to pass them off as Eurasiers.
Breed Characteristics
While not all Eurasiers share the exact same personality and temperament, there are certain generalizations that can be made about the breed. In addition to genetics, a dog’s environment, training, socialization, and many other factors all contribute to their personality and behavior.
