Eurasiers are generally not aggressive dogs. They tend to be calm, even-tempered, and friendly but can be reserved or wary around strangers without showing true aggression. Their play may involve growling and rough behaviour, which is normal and not hostile. They usually avoid conflict and will defend themselves only if necessary.
Some negatives of Eurasiers include their reserved nature towards strangers that requires early socialisation, and their need for close family contact as they do not cope well with being left alone for long periods, which can lead to depression. They are sensitive dogs that respond poorly to harsh discipline and require gentle, consistent training. Additionally, they may have a higher prey drive and be less openly affectionate than some other breeds.
Yes, Eurasiers make excellent family dogs. They are loyal, gentle, calm and affectionate with their family members, including children who respect their boundaries. They usually get along well with other dogs in the household and thrive in homes where they are part of the family, benefiting from regular interaction and socialisation.
The Eurasier breed is a deliberate crossbreed originally created by combining three breeds: the Chow Chow, Keeshond, and Samoyed. This blend was designed to combine the best qualities of these breeds into an intelligent, calm, and friendly companion dog.
