    I’ve owned 7 Keeshonden since 1981. They are smart,wonderful dogs. Want nothing more than to be with their family. Not aggressive or biters but are vocal.

    I enjoy your videos. I have a 4 month old right now, this is my second Keeshond. In my opinion, they are one of the best breeds out there, along with Whippets! We live in the country, so formal training hasn't been a necessity. If you live in town, or in a city, you need to train them well, for they are very stubborn, and strong willed! Your videos are great, and offer quite a lot of advice for any dog parent.

      Thanks! Us living in the city was exactly why we took training so seriously. Now Millie is pretty easy to manage around the city, at coffee shops, taking her to work, being left along at home, etc. Really worth that up-front time commitment (plus it was super fun... when it wasn't super frustrating 🤣)

    Just came upon this breed. definitely very underrated in my eyes . seems like a very calm puppy but still energetic at the same time. How much was the puppy and are there any health concerns. you've peaked my interest to acquire one of them :) Subscribing and cant wait to see more

    • @SocialPuppy

      Such a great breed! I grew up with dogs (bordie collies, st bernards, and a few mutts) and have never heard of Eurasiers until last year. My friend told us about them and we did a ton of research and fell in love. Bred to be companion dogs so they're relatively calm. Millie is particularly calm, but it's because she's quite timid so we've actually been working to get her more comfortable. Here in Canada they're not cheap (around a couple grand). Health concerns aren't too bad but I've heard of hip issues. Hoping to make a new video and perhaps new series soon - just catching up with work first. Thanks for subscribing!

      We were breeders of Elkhounds in the 90s. Very good dogs. Very intelligent. Stubborn and great with small kids. A huge disservice to the breed if they dont live where it snows or are able to do what they were made to do. Very natural hunting dog. An Elkhound in snow is an amazing thing to see. Good luck getting them back in the house in snow. And invest in a strong vacuum. And dont be afraid of fur. One of the worst shedding breeds around. Giant puff balls galore. Twice a year your house and furniture will be covered in them.

    Great video! I just found the Eurasier breed a few months ago. Was set to get a Keeshond and in love with the Eurasier as well. Both seem like calm dogs which is good for us because we have been used to cats many years. So, not experienced with dog training, so these videos and the linked books will be helpful. Want a companion to walk with a dog that can also just chill on the couch with us. Do you have any experience with the Keeshond as well and know how they compare? Most people in the States have heard of neither breed!

    • @SocialPuppy
      @SocialPuppy  5 років тому +2

      Thanks for the comment! Although Millie is often mistaken for a Keeshond, I've never had one myself so can't quite compare. Eurasiers though were bred to be companion dogs and Millie is just that. She's up for big walks and hikes, but also very content relaxing around the house. We find a good daily walk or two keeps her inside energy very manageable. Skip too many walks in a row though and she gets really restless. I also bring her to the office and she's able to relax under my desk for hours.

    • @SocialPuppy
      @SocialPuppy  5 років тому +5

      My honest and candid opinion is to not get a dog unless you have loads of free time to care for it. I grew up with dogs but they spent most of their time outside. Living in the city with a dog is a different beast. Every moment not working is either walking, training, feeding, or playing with the dog now. Great companionship, but all consuming.

    • @SocialPuppy
      @SocialPuppy  4 роки тому +1

      First off, congratulations! And yes, ankle biting is a painful stage. My best advice would be to try to give your pup other things to bite. When he/she is playful, grab a toy and try to keep her teeth biting that. When she's just relaxing, see what kind of chew toys she likes. Be mindful to buy ones that are safe for a pup with puppy teeth. They teeth a lot so good chews will feel really good for them to chew on and keep them from chewing on you, your shoes, or anything around the house. Best of luck!

    How much does Eurasiers shed?

    • @SocialPuppy
      @SocialPuppy  4 роки тому +1

      A lot. Around twice a year she "blows her coat" which means she sheds a Millie sized bag of fluff off over the course of a few days. Outside of that, the shedding isn't too bad. Just fluff balls around the house as oppose to coarse hairs that get stuck in everything. We brush her once a week or so (at best) and always have lint rollers around to clean clothes, couches, and cars.

    Hi! Thanks for your videos! I just got a Eurasier a few days ago and he's been pretty finicky with eating only dry food - what kind of milk did you use to mix with Millie's food? Any other recommendations would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    • @SocialPuppy
      @SocialPuppy  5 років тому

      First of all, thanks and congratulations! Eurasiers are wonderful dogs - best of luck. Checkout my app, www.SocialPuppy.com for a fun guide to raising him. :)
      About food, first I should say that Millie is my first Eurasier so this is based just off my experiences and research. Talk to your local pet store and the Eurasier community on Facebook for more breed specific advice.
      My thoughts:
      - Eurasiers are smart! They don't tend to over eat so don't worry too much about giving extra.
      - Routine routine routine! Establish a good routine and do your best to stick to it (within reason). Meals are best served after some exercise or play time. Build up an appetite, then feed. If they don't eat too much, no biggie, they'll eat later.
      - Be patient. Some days they'll eat lots, some days little. Especially a growing puppy. They go through growth spurts where they're extra hungry then the next day they eat half as much. Keep lots of food available for those growth spurts so they always get their fill.
      - Balanced diet: give a variety of foods but keep an eye out for allergies. Excessive scratching or of course vomiting can be an indicator something doesn't agree with them. Try eliminating and re-introducing things you suspect are causing discomfort. Sorry to plug my app again, but there's a Journal to track meals so you can note down what you fed them before they vomit so next time you can see the patterns.
      - Raw food diet: this was highly recommended to us and has been working really well with Millie. It takes a week or two to transition from kibble to raw food, but from what I've read and experienced it's really good for the dog's digestion and general health.
      Reach out here or in my app if you have anymore questions. You have a really exciting (and challenging!) road ahead, but your little pupper will be a great companion.

    • @SocialPuppy
      @SocialPuppy  5 років тому +2

      Oh, and to answer your actual question, that was organic goat's milk. We added it to her food only while she was really young. But, then we suspected it may have been bothering her so we toned it down and didn't re-introduce 🙄
      She also loves eggs! Little scrambled eggs on top of her food gets her excited every time.
