In 1987, I stumbled across a magazine with a description of Eurasiers, a purebred dog breed. I was fascinated, shared this article with my husband, and we were eager to learn more. From the moment we saw our first Eurasiers, we fell in love with them; we were impressed by their variety in colour, their size, their cuddly coat and fur, but even more by their behaviour. They were calm, quiet and even-tempered. Their "noble reserve" won our admiration: Puppies and young dogs, still curious, would let us pat and cuddle them, whereas adult Eurasiers tactfully sidestepped any attempt from "strangers" wanting to touch them. We had found "our" breed of dog: The Eurasier, a classical pure breed, a dog with character, a dog with a very own personality.
