Treasures Den Eurasiers
I thank everyone who was interested in my pups. They have now all found their forever homes.
Welcome to Treasures Den Eurasiers
​​
My name is Katelyn Ferrill, I am 27 years old, I live with my 4 family members in Oregon, and I work as a Carpenter. Takara is a happy addition to the family since 2022.
​
I have always loved the Spitz-type dog breeds, but because I have older family members who would be watching the dog(s) during the day, I needed a lower-energy, and still family-oriented dog. After a Google search of different breeds that would meet my needs, I stumbled across the Eurasier.​
Eurasier's were developed as a family companion, and it seemed like this breed was created specifically for us! They are calm, confident and reserved dogs. They bond very closely with their families. But are reserved, though not aggressive with strangers. They do very well with older folks and children. I wanted to become a member of the Eurasier community and help others learn about this amazing breed!
​
After researching breeders, I found Big Sky Eurasier's in Montana, USA where I received my amazing Eurasier Big Sky Takara. She will be the foundation to Treasures Den. Since brining Takara home, she has truly become one of the family. She is so loving with all of the family. She's very playful and funny. Always willing to take a nap with you but also ready to go on an adventure.
​This is the start of our journey here to add to the beautiful breed of Eurasier's. Me and Takara are excited to being our first litter. We are members of the USEC club and registered with both AKC and CKC. We hope you love our puppies as much as us

History of The Eurasiers
Copied from the US Eurasier Club website.
In 1960, after the Second World War, Julius Wipfel, who was always a canine enthusiast, befriended a black dog he named, “the Canadian.” It’s believed this dog was left behind by Canadian troops when they vacated Germany. Wipfel describes the dog as independent, charming, intelligent, and unrestrained. "It was a devil much loved by us; and, until now, I have not encountered another dog that I could compare with the 'Canadian.'" After Canadian's passing, Wipfel searched to find a successor to his big, black Spitz-type dog which was very intelligent, independent, and wolf-like in his behavior.
He decided to adopt a female Wolfspitz named Bella von der Waldmühle. Although life with this Wolfspitz female was by far easier than that with his independent black dog, Wipfel nevertheless missed the "primitivity" of his first dog. He wished for a dog that would show the adaptability and the social behavior of dog's ancestor, the wolf, a dog that would be a wonderful family dog - and he decided to create a breed with that goal in mind.
​
Eventually, problems occurred due to the high proportion of inbreeding. In order to overcome the problems and lower the proportion of inbreeding, Julius Wipfel determined that a new blood-line should be introduced. He decided on the Samoyed. Since every now and then some Wolf Chows had appeared with a rather "rough" behavior, the friendly attitude of the ancient Siberian breed, the Samoyed, was meant to improve this.
By crossing in another breed, the new breed was supposed to become more unique and would differ more from the Wolfspitz and the Chow. So the male Samoyed, Cito von Pol, was bought, raised, and used for breeding in 1972. Indeed, the effects that had been hoped for were achieved. The general appearance improved, and the vigor of the breed was restored. The friendly nature of the Samoyed had a positive effect on the social behavior of the animals. In addition to the animal behavioral scientists, Konrad Lorenz and Eberhard Trumler, Eric Zimen also praised this new breed in his book "Der Hund" (The Dog) as an "ideal family dog of medium size, independent but still devoted and domestic, vigilant without being aggressive and without any hunting passion". In October of 1974 the standard was re-written.
​
The "Verband fuer das Deutsche Hundewesen" (The German Kennel Club, known as the "VDH") and the "Federation Cynologique Internationale" ("FCI") officially acknowledged the breed in 1973, but the breed name Wolf-Chow had to be changed. The VDH did not allow existing breed names as part of a new breed name. Even the German Spitz Club protested strongly against the name Wolf-Chow. And so Julius Wipfel chose the name "EURASIER", because it emphasizes that this dog originates from European and Asian breeds.
