Temperament
Self-assured, calm, even tempered with high resistance against any provocation. Watchful and alert without being noisy. Very strongly developed link to his family. Reserved towards strangers without being aggressive. No hunting instinct. For the full development of these qualities, the Eurasian needs constant close domestic contact with his family and understanding, yet consistent training.
History
In 1960 a breed was evolved by crossing a Chow Chow and a Wolfspitz. This was first called « Wolf-Chow » and then, after crossing with a Samoyed, was re-named « Eurasier » (Eurasian) and recognized by the F.C.I.
Training
It is a dog relative easily to train because it is intelligent and submissive. With a firm training (sometimes it can be stubborn), consequent, well-ballanced, good results can be obtained. It must to be socialized from an early age with other dogs, other animals, and with children.
Coat & grooming
It needs brushing and combing more often during the moulting period. In the rest of the time, it is combed only casual if it needs, the underneath coating could be affected if it is combed too often.
