(p.120).
Lorenz describes the Aureus dog as a dog in which, as a result of his age-old domestication, the infantile affection has persisted, making him a manageable and tractable companion. He comes when called, answers your slightest wish and is naturally obedient: "A dog of this kind, which is everybody's dog, is easily led astray since he trusts every stranger who speaks kindly to him. But a dog that you can get so easily, well, so far as I am concerned, you can keep him!" (p. 122) Despite the highly esteemed Lupus dog, Lorenz also valued the incomparable obedience of an Alsatian: "Admittedly, the noble qualities of the beast of prey possessed by the Lupus dog, his proud aloofness towards strangers, his boundless love for his master, and, at the same time, the reticence with which he demonstrates his really deep affection, are all character traits for which the Aureus dog has no counterpart. But both sets of qualities can be combined" (p.124).
Now he tells us the story about his Alsatian male Booby and the Chow female Pygi, their unplanned marriage, and the beginning of the Chow-Alsatian breeding in the Lorenz household. From this unplanned litter, Lorenz kept a female named "Stasi". She was different than expected, as she combined all the good qualities of both parents. Lorenz writes: "These succeeded beyond all anticipation. Whereas, generally, crossbreeds inherit the bad properties of both parent breeds, in this case the contrary proved true in a very definite measure ... " (p.126).

1950 the book "Man Meets Dog" was published. A masterpiece, it is THE dog book of which Horst Stern said in the 70ies:"You could just as well throw away almost all other dog books, without losing any essential elementary knowledge about dogs".

In this book Lorenz deals in depth with the special character traits of the Chow-Alsatian-cross "Stasi". What he describes there, are exactly the desired character traits of our Eurasiers. By the way, "Stasi" lived long before Lorenz became Ordinarius for Psychology at the University of Königsberg, and that was in September 1940.

Was Konrad Lorenz the Father of the idea to create Eurasiers? |

Here I would like to show you a photo of a Chow-Chow of which we have a reliable date to go with it. The picture was taken in 1940 in Erfurt, Germany. The photo shows you what type of Chow-Chow we are actually talking about. The Chow-Chow today has clearly developed away from this phenotype.

Julius Wipfel - The Father of the Idea?
Change of place: After the war, the young Wipfel family settled in a town in Germany called Weinheim, in a street named Bergstraße. The family father, Julius, was a great dog enthusiast, who also always had a dog. Already as a youngster, he was fascinated by the reports and descriptions of the Northern sled dogs. By chance, Julius Wipfel found such a dog in an animal rescue shelter. The dog had been taken there most likely because Canadian Troops stationed in Mannheim had left him behind (and that is why he was called the Canadian).
The Canadian was, according to Wipfel's characterization later, a perfect sled dog type, who immediately integrated into family life astonishingly well. From the third day onwards, he would not let any stranger enter the home and he guarded their son. The Canadian astonished the family with his very own charming personality and by giving daily proof of his unique intelligence. But he also had character traits that did not always fit into family life that easily. Julius Wipfel reports an increasingly independent and "unrestrained and dangerous" behaviour towards strangers: "His intelligence and unrestrained behaviour was different in comparison to our dogs". And yet, this "beloved black devil" was in his own way a fascinating dog personality.
|
It was Elfriede Wipfel, wasn't it? She had the idea! Or was it Julius Wipfel in the end? |
In the mid 50ies, the Wipfel family looked for a worthy successor - which they could of course not find - and they finally decided on the Wolfspitz female "Bella von der Waldmühle". No matter how pleasant and beautiful Bella was, she could not be compared to "The Canadian". So, one day, Elfriede Wipfel made a suggestion (quotation Julius Wipfel): "You know how women are. During one of our many conversations my wife simply said: 'Why don't we just go ahead and create our own breed, similar to the Canadian and our Bella?' ". |
Wipfel, who had become a very engaged and active member of the Spitz Club in the mean time, read all the canine literature he could get hold of. With great interest, he studied the scientific canine literature: "It was not only by chance that I found the books written by Lorenz. The unplanned mating Chow-Alsatian caught my attention and the description of the wonderful character of the Chow-puppies immediately fascinated me".
Now Wipfel wanted to learn more about the Chow-Chow breed; not only did he learn more about them, he even acquired the qualification as a show judge for this breed. "Lucky chances cannot be repeated that easily", Dr. Werner Schmidt once said, admittedly in connection with Eurasier breeding. But does this not also apply for people and how and when they ever meet?
In March 1959 - Bella von der Waldmühle was just expecting her first litter - Elfriede Wipfel wrote a letter to family Baldamus, which begins with:
"Dear Family Baldamus! Our friend Schneider in Rastatt recently informed us that you are interested in a Wolfspitz, but that you do not know the breed yet. Therefore I would like to give you the following information".
Then she describes the breed in depth, including the advantages and special features. She also writes about her expectations of somebody who would get one of her puppies. Mr Baldamus had once heard something about a „Polar Dog" and was probably thinking in that direction, but Elfriede Wipfel clarified the misunderstanding and told him that if he was interested in a Samoyed, he would hardly be able to find one in Germany, more likely in Austria or Switzerland. But if he meant the "brown Chow-Chow", she would advise him not to get one of these, as (quotation) "the dogs imported from Asia have a lot of wolf blood and therefore almost all of them run off to poach".
And so "Asta von der Bergstraße", a daughter of Bella von der Waldmühle, became the Baldamus family dog on the Jägerhof, Mittelberg. Later, Asta von der Bergstraße became THE very first mother of the "vom Jägerhof" kennel, the most important Eurasier kennel, from which so many Eurasiers descended.
| The cooperation in breeding began between Julius Wipfel and Charlotte Baldamus. Julius Wipfel had studied for and prepared the start of the Wolf-Chow well: It was to be an experiment following the example of Lorenz, to breed a dog with the best qualities - and, to say it with the words of Konrad Lorenz - that combines both sets of qualities of the Aureus dog and the Lupus Dog. Consequently, Wipfel chose Chow-Chows - as they have the all important and very special character traits of "Northern Dogs". The mating partners were to be Wolfspitz, an ancient breed, whose prehistorical roots reach way back to Canis familiaris palustris (a spitz-like turf- or peat-dog). A wise decision, although Wipfel, as sometimes mentioned, would have liked to experiment with a line containing Samoyed, if he could only find some ... On the other hand, his decision was easy to put into practice; after all, his own Wolfspitz female and her offspring were in easy reach for him. |
And so these two ancient spitz type breeds - the Chow-Chow originating from Asia and the European Wolfspitz - were crossed, or better combined, because these are animals of the same kind - with the aim to achieve a breed with the best qualities of both breeds.
The Breeding Plan for Wolf-Chows
Well, now, just how do you start, when you want to start a new breed? First, you define an aim in breeding and then you decide on a method with which you want to reach that aim.
Julius Wipfel defined his aim in breeding as following:
It should be a dog of polar type, with beautiful, attractive colours and a charming character that adapts well to our conditions. It should also be a breed type of its own, different from the Wolfspitz and the Chow-Chow.
Excursion Breeding Plan:
When planning to combine different mating partners who bring along as many desired traits as possible, the following basic methods can be applied:
