Eurasier
About Eurasier
If you're looking for a devoted family companion with a calm yet protective nature, the Eurasier might just be your perfect match. With their lush double coat and expressive eyes, these medium-sized dogs stand out with a distinctive appearance that's both regal and approachable. Eurasiers are known for their gentle temperament, making them excellent companions for families with children and other pets.
They thrive on companionship and need about 60 to 90 minutes of daily exercise, including walks and interactive play, to keep their minds and bodies active. Their grooming routine involves weekly brushing to manage their shedding, which peaks twice a year, so keep those brushes handy! Training is generally straightforward, as they respond well to positive reinforcement, but early socialization is key to overcoming any initial shyness with strangers.
Keep an eye on their health, particularly their eyes and hips, to ensure they stay happy and active well into their 12 to 16-year lifespan. If you're ready to welcome a loyal and loving protector into your home, the Eurasier could be the ideal addition to your family.
