The Eurasier comes from Germany and belongs to the Non-Sporting group, where its background is tied to companionship and breed-specific jobs that vary more than most groups.

For exercise, the Eurasier should get about 45 to 60 minutes a day for many healthy adults, built from steady walks, play, and simple enrichment.
