Grooming a Eurasier

In the 1960s, German breeder, Julius Wipfel started looking for a dog who will be a great family pet and who will have the adaptability of the wolf, so he started mixing Chow Chows with Wolfspitz dogs. In 1972 they crossed that dog with the Samoyed to secure the friendly nature of the dog.

The FCI recognized these dogs in 1973 by the name Eurasier to acknowledge their combined European and Asian background.
