The eurasier originates from crossings between german wolfspitzes, samoyeds and chow chows. The first dogs were known as Wolf-chow, and it was not until later that the samoyed was bred in. It was Julius Wipfel in Weinheim, Germany, who in 1960 decided to try to breed an attractive and quiet companion dog with good guarding instinct. The breed was recognized by the FCI in 1973, which also gave the dog its name; 'Eur' from the european wolfspitz, 'asier' from the asian samoyed and chow chow.
The eurasier should give the impression of a medium size spitz with a slightly rectangular shape. The head is broad and wolf-like, wedge shaped with slight stop and powerful muzzle. The eyes are of medium size and expressive. The ears are set high and quite close to each other, triangular and erect. The neck is of medium length and rather coarse. The body should be powerful and not too long, with a well developed chest, slight tuck up and strong, straight back. The tail is carried curved or curled over the back. The coat is thick and of medium length, shorter on the face and ears.
