Welcoming and Understanding my Eurasier: my advice
🏠 The Arrival & The Beginnings (The Essentials to Start)
🏠 The Arrival at Home: Comfort and Reference Points.
Your puppy has just left his brothers, sisters, and the breeding place where he was born; it is normal for him to be shy in the first few days.
Be patient, don't rush him, and ask everyone in the family, especially the children, to stay calm so as not to overwhelm him.
For his first days at your home, avoid leaving him alone for too long and show him where his water bowl is located as well as his "sleeping corner". 💤
My advice: Let him choose a spot where he feels safe, preferably a quiet place but close to you to reassure him.
🚽 House Training.
At his age, your Eurasier is still too young to be perfectly clean.
To make this step easier, avoid setting him up on carpet and prefer newspapers or a mop on an easy-to-clean floor.
The secret to success is anticipation: take him out systematically after every nap, every play session, and every meal. When he goes to the bathroom outside, praise him warmly as if he has achieved something great!
My advice: Patience and rewards are your best allies for a stress-free and cheerful learning experience.
🎓 An Education Based on Trust and Complicity.
Your puppy is in the middle of his learning, and like any child, he will test boundaries to understand his environment.
The Eurasier is a sensitive and intelligent dog that learns through pleasure and motivation.
Far from the old concepts of "pack leader," your role is to be his caring reference. Set clear and consistent rules from the moment he arrives, never using brutality or shouting. Always use the same words for the same actions, preceded by his name (ex: "Falko, sit"), and adopt a calm but distinct tone of voice to signal the request.
My advice: Be fair and patient; a hesitant puppy is often one who hasn’t quite understood what you expect from him yet.
🌟 Encourage to Learn Better.
The key to successful training in 2026 lies in positive reinforcement: warmly praise him as soon as he displays the desired behavior. An "Well done!" or a small treat (which you will find at the breeding) is worth a thousand reprimands. 🦴
Teach him the essential basics (sit, lie down, stay, recall) during short play sessions to retain his attention.
Golden rule: Never scold your puppy after the fact; he cannot associate a punishment with a past action. Only intervene if you catch him in the act with a "No" that is firm yet calm to redirect his attention to what he is allowed to do.
It happens that puppies get hiccups after eating or playing; this is completely normal and related to their growth, so don't worry!
🩺 Health & Growth (The Vitality Capital)
📈 Growth: Patience and Balance
As a member of Group 5 (Spitz and primitive types), section 5 (Asian Spitz and related breeds), the Eurasier builds its skeleton slowly. Its adult size and weight will be:
- Male: 52 to 60 cm | 25 to 32 kg approx.
- Female: 48 to 56 cm | 18 to 26 kg approx.
⚖️ To build a strong skeleton, excellent quality food is essential, but be careful: do not give any calcium or vitamin supplements without the formal advice of your veterinarian, as an overdose could be disastrous for its growth.
🥣 Do not overfeed your puppy in the hope of seeing it grow faster; give it time to build its muscles harmoniously and strictly respect its rest.
Finally, protect its joints until 12 months by avoiding any unreasonable effort: no jogging, forced walks, stairs, or wild runs with children and other dogs. 🚫 A slowly growing Eurasier is a companion that will remain strong for life!
🦴 Preserve its Health Capital.
The bones of a Eurasier puppy are fragile and its growth is slow. To avoid joint issues (dysplasia, deformities), limit violent activities: no jumping, no stairs, and no frantic running.
Balance your outings according to the golden rule: 1 minute of walking per week of age (e.g. 10 min at 10 weeks), to be repeated every 2-3 hours.
My advice: A puppy who is mentally stimulated by small discoveries will be much calmer than a puppy physically exhausted from a too long walk!
🍽️ Nutrition: The keys to good vitality.
Your puppy has been weaned onto high-quality food suitable for its age.
For its digestion, divide its daily portion into 3 meals until 6 months old, then switch to 2 meals per day in adulthood. 🥣
The Eurasier is a self-regulating dog: adjust its bowl if it seems still hungry or, conversely, if it starts gaining too much weight or leaving leftovers.
⚖️ Crucial vigilance: Always provide fresh water ad libitum and, above all, avoid any excitement (running, jumping, playing) after meals to prevent the risk of bloating.
My advice: A calm digestion ensures a healthy dog! ✨
🚫 Dietary Mistakes: What to ban.
For your Eurasier's health, it is unnecessary (and sometimes dangerous) to give him sweets, chocolate, or cakes. Also, avoid milk, as most dogs digest lactose very poorly.
Safety alert: Never give chicken, turkey, rabbit, or pork bones; they can splinter into sharp shards and perforate the stomach or intestines.
Little treats: If you want to please him, prefer a plain yogurt without sugar, cottage cheese (20% fat), a "Laughing Cow" cheese, or a small piece of Gruyère cheese. These extras should remain occasional to maintain his ideal weight! ⚖️🐾
💉 Vaccines & Deworming: The protection of your companion
For strong immunity, your puppy received his first vaccine between 6 and 8 weeks.
The continuation of the protocol is simple: a booster every 4 weeks until the age of 4 months, then an annual visit on the anniversary of the last vaccine.
For maximum effectiveness, it is strongly advised to deworm your dog 6 to 8 days before each vaccination appointment.
Regarding regular deworming, it should be done every month until 6 months, then every 2 months until he is 1 year old. Beyond that, treatment every 6 months is sufficient. 💊
🦷 The Milk Teeth: The transition to adulthood.
Like humans, your puppy has small milk teeth that will fall out to make way for his permanent teeth. ✨
This change generally occurs between 4 and 6 months. By the age of 6 months, his jaw should be complete and strong.
My advice : During this period of teething, your Eurasier may have an intense need to chew to relieve his gums. Offer him suitable and durable toys to spare your furniture and shoes! Playing "tug" on ropes should be avoided until the permanent teeth are well established.
🦮 Daily Life & Outings (The outside world)
🪮 Brushing: A ritual of bonding.
Weekly brushing is essential to maintain the dense fur of the Eurasier.
To preserve the beauty of the coat and avoid breakage, never brush your dog dry: always use a suitable conditioning spray. ✨
Pay particular attention behind the ears, to the fringes, and underneath the body with care.
Accustomed from a young age, your companion will appreciate this moment of intimacy which also helps to uncover a small injury or tick.
My advice : You will find all the sprays, brushes, and professional equipment that I use directly for sale at the kennel or on my online shop. 🛍️🐾
🧼 The Bath: A specific technique.
If a shampoo is necessary, always brush your dog before getting him wet. Never use products for humans (even for babies), as the pH of dogs is completely different and you would cause serious skin problems.
Use a specific dog shampoo (available at the kennel) and lukewarm water.
The Eurasier's coat is naturally water-resistant, taking a long time to wet and even longer to rinse: be patient and rinse the entire body thoroughly, ending with the head, until the water runs perfectly clear.
Once rinsed with lukewarm water, the most important step is complete drying. A deeply damp coat can cause serious skin problems, such as dermatitis or fungal infections. Take the time to dry it thoroughly, ideally with a blower or a dryer on a gentle temperature, down to the root.
My advice: A well-dried Eurasier ensures healthy skin and a dog that doesn't smell like "wet dog"! ✨
🚶♂️ First Steps and Socialization.
Initial outings are not hikes, but moments of discovery.
To get your puppy used to the leash, never pull on it: stand in front of him and cheerfully lure him with a treat so he comes on his own. Always keep treats in your pocket so the walk is synonymous with pleasure!
Multiply short experiences in varied places (city, forest, train station, restaurant) to familiarize him with noises and environments. If possible, walk him with other balanced dogs so he learns by imitation. My advice: Practice recall in safe places. If he doesn't come back, move in the opposite direction or hide; he will quickly return to you out of play or safety! 🐾🏃♂️
⚠️ Safety & Vigilance (Critical Points)
☀️ Heat Stroke: A deadly danger in just a few minutes.
Never leave your Eurasier alone in a vehicle, even in the shade or with the windows open.
Unlike us, dogs do not sweat and regulate their temperature only by panting through their pads. 🔥
In a stationary vehicle, the temperature can rise to 60°C in the blink of an eye, causing fatal suffocation.
In case of emergency (frantic panting, lethargy), act immediately: soak your dog's head and body thoroughly with fresh water, or fully immerse him, then rush to the vet.
👤 The Risk of Theft: A very real threat.
The second major reason never to leave your companion unattended in a vehicle is malice. The Eurasier is a beautiful breed, rare and highly sought after, making it a prime target for dog thieves. 🚔 These individuals are often skilled and organized; it only takes them a few moments to seize your pet.
For his safety and your peace of mind, always keep your faithful companion under your direct supervision or leave him cool at home. 🛡️✨
🛡️ A Natural and Rigorous Protection.
The Eurasier has a magnificent yet so dense coat that it is almost impossible to detect a parasite with the naked eye.
To ensure maximum safety for my dogs, I use the latest veterinary advancements of 2026: the injection of Bravecto. 💉✨ This protocol provides unmatched peace of mind against ticks and fleas for an extended period.
Rigorous prevention year-round is essential, as fleas and their larvae cause severe dermatitis and painful hair loss. Don't forget to treat your environment twice a year (with products like "Flea Stop"), as 90% of parasites live in the habitat and not on the animal. 🏠
Some ticks carry serious diseases like Piroplasmosis, which destroys red blood cells and attacks the liver and kidneys within hours. 🚑 If your dog has a high fever, is staggering, seems extremely fatigued, or has brown urine, immediate veterinary intervention is vital to save him. To limit risks, be extra vigilant and avoid forest walks in early spring and early winter, when ticks are most active.
My advice: A thorough brushing after each outing remains the best way to uncover "stowaways" before they bite!
🐾 The little daily challenges: Tips and tricks.
🍖 He steals food: Anticipate and Ignore
For a puppy, finding food is a survival instinct inherited from its ancestors. It is not malice, it is opportunism!
- The solution: Be tidy. If nothing is lying around on the countertops, your puppy will never be rewarded with a find. To prevent begging at the table, never give him anything during your meals (even if it's tempting!).
- The right reflex: Teach him to lie down in his bed with a natural chewing or occupation toy (like those available at the breeding facility) while you eat. If he comes begging, completely ignore him. As soon as he moves away and calms down, calmly praise him. 🧘♂️
🐾 He digs: Divert and Offer
Digging is a natural, fun, and stress-relieving activity for a dog. Instead of punishing this instinctual need, the idea is to provide him with an acceptable outlet for your flowers and lawn. 🌷
- The digging pit: Set up a small dedicated area with clean sand and dirt. Hide toys or treats in front of him to encourage him to use this specific spot. If he is rewarded with a find in his pit, he will leave your flowerbeds alone!
- The occupation: Often, a puppy digs out of boredom. Make sure he always has access to his chew objects or balls during outings in the garden. ✨
💩 Coprophagia: Why does he eat feces?
Understanding this natural behavior
Some puppies do eat their own feces or those of other animals (horse droppings are often a "delicacy" choice!). This behavior, while very unpleasant for us, has various causes: natural curiosity, lack of self-confidence, or sometimes a search for nutrients. For the puppy, it is not a moral issue, but an instinct of "scavenger" inherited from its ancestors. 🌿✨
My solutions:
The first step is to check the quality of his diet. By using Franklin or Pro Plan kibble that I offer at the breeding facility, you are already providing highly digestible nutrition that often limits this phenomenon. If the behavior persists, work on the command "Leave it" or "Don't touch" in a very positive way, consistently rewarding with a treat from my store that is much more appetizing than what he found on the ground!
My advice: Always keep a clean environment and quickly collect droppings in the garden to avoid creating temptation, while remaining calm and patient.
🦷 The vital need to chew: Understand to guide better.
Chewing is a fundamental physiological need in puppies, especially during the baby tooth eruption phase, and then around 6-8 months when the permanent teeth settle into the jaw.
Beyond relieving irritated gums, chewing releases endorphins (the happiness hormones) that soothe and reassure your companion, especially when he has to stay alone.
For him, there is no difference between an old stick, a table leg, or your new sneakers: everything is a potential support for discovery and comfort!
My solutions: Keep him occupied and reward him.
The key to protecting your interior is to offer healthier and much more attractive alternatives than your furniture. Give him a wide variety of natural chewing toys (bison horn, deer antler, roots) and occupation toys like "Kong" that can be stuffed, which will reward him for his efforts.
If you need to be away, give him a "special" toy that he doesn’t have the rest of the time to turn your departure into a positive moment.
My advice: You will find at the breeding and on my online shop a whole selection of safe chewable items, tested and approved by my own dogs for their durability and palatability!
