About Eurasier
Country of Origin, History of Eurasiers
The Eurasier dog, till now a comparably young breed, had been developed in Germany in the 1960s. Julius Wipfel had developed the breed. He set about in his venture with Charlotte Baldamus and a small group of enthusiasts. The main breeds combining whose qualities the new breed was created were the Keeshond (Wolfspitz) and the Chow-Chow.
Later on the Samoyed breed was also involved. The “Wolf-Chow” was the product of the initial combination of the breeds Wolfspitz and Chow-Chow.
Then after twelve years this breed was crossed with a Samoyed to give rise to the Eurasier. The breed was recognized by the FCI in 1973.
