Eurasiers are intelligent, sensitive, and emotionally intuitive. They require a calm, respectful approach to training, as harsh methods can cause them to withdraw. Early and continuous socialization is essential to help them develop confidence and comfort in new environments, especially since they may naturally be aloof around unfamiliar people.

They don’t have a strong prey drive and usually get along well with other pets. Their thick double coat provides excellent weather protection but does require weekly brushing—and daily care during shedding seasons.

Though generally quiet, Eurasiers are alert watchdogs who will bark if something seems off. They are not guard dogs, but they are observant and loyal protectors of their home base.

The Eurasier is a relatively modern breed developed in Germany by crossing the Chow Chow, Keeshond, and later the Samoyed. The result is a well-balanced, calm, and loyal family dog that embodies the best qualities of its ancestors: the dignified presence of the Chow, the intelligence of the Keeshond, and the gentle nature of the Samoyed.

Medium-sized with a plush double coat, pointed ears, and a curled tail, the Eurasier has a fox-like, alert appearance without being overly energetic or demanding. These dogs thrive on companionship and form strong bonds with their families, often showing reserved behavior toward strangers without aggression.

Adaptable and composed, Eurasiers are excellent home dogs, suited for both quiet families and more active lifestyles—as long as they remain close to their humans.
