Canaan Dog Breeders

These dogs are an ancient breed resembling the wild dog type which has survived in Israel through at least 4,000 years of history.  They were originally used by the Bedouins as both herders and guard dogs in the desert.  Today's breed was developed in the 1930's and has proven to be exceptionally versatile.  They are used today as livestock guarding, herding, tracking, search and rescue and companion dogs.  During World War II these dogs were trained for mine detection.  Although rather aloof, they make good companions.  They are easy to train, willing to learn and good with children.  The coat requires minimal grooming.  They weigh 35 to 55 lbs. and stand 19-24" at the shoulders.  Contact the dog breeders below for your next family friend.
