A short summary about breeding
Eurasiers in the
Zuchtgemeinschaft fuer Eurasier e.V. (ZG):
Eurasier breeders in the ZG have to comply with very
demanding rules. Only breeding as a hobby is allowed, but a breeder must, of
course, undergo special courses to obtain the necessary knowledge.
A breeder may
not have more than two females that are bred, no matter which breed. A breeder needs time to care for mother and
puppies, which is more than a full-time job in itself. Therefore a family, where somebody
can arrange to be home all day, is preferred.
The Eurasier must
undergo special health tests and have good results, it must be assessed by a
breed specialist, it can only be bred once it is old enough, and for females
there is an age limit. Between two litters, the female must have a rest of at
least one or two heats, depending on the number of puppies she had.
The home of
the breeder is inspected to see if there is sufficient and suitable space indoors
and outdoors for the mother and her puppies. While the puppies are reared, club
inspectors come at least twice - if not more times - to see everything is done well
for mother and pups, and that the puppies are well socialised and raised in good
conditions. Each puppy is also inspected by the breed inspector. Additionally,
the puppies must undergo a health check from a vet, where they get a micro-chip, their
first vaccinations and their passport.
In the ZG, breeding is strongly directed through our knowledgeable breeding board, which means
only they decide which Eurasiers may be mated. They
carefully study family trees, health results and all the breeding related data they
have, to find the best suitable mating. Hereby
they are assisted by the IFEZ database. The data they have, reaches back to the
very beginning of Eurasier breeding.
The new owners of such a Eurasier receive a special IFEZ
certificate together with the official ZG/VDH/FCI pedigree. All new owners are
asked to have their Eurasier undergo a veterinary health check (HD, patella, eyes,
TLI values, etc.)
around the age of one and a half years. This data is vital, as it gives
important feedback about the Eurasiers bred in the ZG. This data is also entered
into the IFEZ data base.
