Eurasier?

[[158444]]

Now I have confirmed getting a second dog would be a good idea for me I have already looked into which breed and apart from maybe getting another golden I really like Eurasiers I've only met one so far and he was lovely and the owner said he likes people but loves other dogs and their easy to train but choose whether to listen or not so can be very stubborn.

What surprised me the most is that their a quiet breed like Golden's and that due to the chow in the parentage and are quiet for a Spitz breed compared to samoyeds for example.

I'm meeting more at crufts this year and have asked on a Facebook group who all said theirs rarely barks.

Anyone her got one who have experience with them?

I had a Keeshond growing up. I met a lookalike Eurasier, looked like a Keeshond x last summer. Keeshond are renowned for barking (they are guard types on Dutch barges originally. Mine barked at a garage door opening 3 doors away) The grooming requirements are pretty intense. Possibly quiet compared to a Sammy, some near us bark endlessly. Keeshonds are known for being stubborn and wilful.

It's great that you're off to Crufts to meet more. I think the dog will very much depend on the parentage, I'm sure I remember being told on here quite recently that chows are quite standoffish.

I was told by one owner that owned 4 said that as their still a newish breed their temperament can vary which concerned me a little.

Since their keeshond, Samoyed and chow I was surprised at the amount telling me their quiet since 2 of their parents breeds are vocal and if it's due to the chow how much more are they like the chow as I don't really want a really standoffish breed.

I'm also looking into leonbergers as I dog sat one but again worried on size as it was only 4 days and he was very well behaved.

So I'm between a Eurasier, leonberger or another Golden

I would be concerned about life expectancy with a giant breed, just me personally but I'd hope to have a dog longer than 8 years (having lost 2 at 7 and 11 to cancer, you just can't have a guarantee with animals)

I agree ré the variation in character with such a new breed. Mine was very much a one person dog, very good at 'guarding' prams, but friendly unless someone pretended to attack one of the family then there'd be frenzied barking, leaping up. He was from a long line of established breeding, the breeder was Northern secretary for the breed last I looked.

If you look at established breeds, you can ask various people on here re lines eg Corvus Corax is a GSD expert, Druid is pretty hot on springers.

Saying that, if you're decided then you won't have the dilemma of debating which breed to get! The noise factor for me would be important. My dog taught next door's husky to bark, it wasn't supposed to bark! My next door neighbour's dog yaps constantly (Yorkshire terrier x) but mine don't really bark.

Life expectancy and size weight wise are my only concerns as leons can go upto 80kg which is more than double what a Golden weighs.

I don't deal with grief well and I nearly ended my life when my GSD passed so loosing one so early does worry me.

With the Eurasier every single owner has said their quiet and it's down to the chow who has helped make them a more quieter breed and I suppose with varying temperament it's about finding a good breeder who has the Eurasier temperament I'm looking for as I was told some can be standoffish like the chow but others can be friendly like samoyeds and some are even a tad eager to please so I suppose it would be finding the right breeder with the type I'd be looking for

Malamutes are gorgeous good to know it is possible for Spitz breeds to be quiet which means as much as it's hard to believe Eurasiers are quiet they properly are if every owner I've spoken too has said their quiet

Leos are big. My friend who has the Tibetan Mastiffs used to have 2 Leos and they were much bigger than the Tibetans. She loved them but wouldn't have another as they became too popular and their health suffered as a result. Too much careless breeding. A real shame as they are lovely dogs.
