Been so busy in the last 6 months had no time to share our lovely new addition to the family.

Picking up N to come home. |
The dopey N was a lovely choice curtsey to Stacey Watkins (
Albionspitz) the breeder of gorgeous and gentle Eurasiers.
I thought I would share the ins and outs I've experienced since I picked up N. I meet Stacey at the Discover Dogs show in Earls Court London. Its a wonderful place to see all the breeds of dogs and discuss with breeders to find out more about the temperament and requirements of the different breeds. Before the show I had never seen a Eurasier before but I'm so glad I went with this breed in the end. Stacey and others work very hard to keep introducing new but good lines into the breed in UK to keep the inbreeding coefficient low and retain the good qualities including temperament of the breed.
N like all puppies was very hard work.... including the late night toilet runs, I lost 1/2 stone in the first week but it was worth it, she is the best behaved and most adorable puppy ever. True to their nature Eurasian do not bark unless it is very important, they are highly intelligent (learnt commands very quickly) and very careful, Noodles even when left to her own rule of the room only picked up a dry leaf to play with and is very careful with our belongings, not broken or chewed anything we don't want her to so far. ^_^

Anyone who is interested in the breed, they are medium size, girls smaller than boys. They do shred but its not bad just little here and there. The breed is bred for temperament foremost and in one litter like N they can all have different colors which alters as they grow up.
We're currently feeding N food made by
http://www.elements-premium.co.uk/, its not a big brand but having feed N on the Large Breed Salmon and Potatoe since we had her I'm please to say she has had lovely coat and very firm stool. When it ran out we attempted to give her Arden Grange Large Puppy Chicken and rice but that actually gave her the runs (even with slow transition period of mixing the two),
Arden Grange is highly recommended by others but unfortunately not suitable for N. We then found that Wainwright's Puppy Salmon and Potatoe was also ok for N whilst we waited for the new delivery of her Elements Premium (my fault I forgot to order new stock, as soon as I ordered the order was very swiftly sent out). So for others out there trying out new brands for their canine friends here's a few we have tried and the result of.
