Canaan Dog

Overview

Overview of Canaan Dog

Going back at least 2000 years, the Canaan Dog is one of the oldest dogs around. The area of Canaan, which today would encompass Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, Jordan, and the southern regions of Syria and Lebanon, is an area that is referenced throughout the Bible as the promised land. And according to Hebrew and Muslim scriptures, Canaan Dogs were thought to be the working dogs at the center of daily life for the Ancient Israelites. These dogs remained undomesticated until the 20th century and later gained new purpose as messengers, service dogs and even the first landmine detectors. They were virtually unknown in the west until 1934, when Dr. Rudolphina Menzel decided to train Canaan dogs to guard and patrol for the Israeli army. Canaan Dogs come in various colors and patterns and weigh between 35-55 lbs.

Personality

Like many other primitive dogs, Canaan Dogs have retained the rugged self-reliance of desert dogs so they may be suspicious of new situations and strangers. Early socialization and training are a must if you want a well-balanced pet. With their pricked ears, plush coat, and deep-set eyes, Canaan Dogs are one of the many breeds in the Spitz family of dogs. They are highly trainable and would do well in an active household. So if you're looking for a smart, energetic companion (who excels at dog sports) and comes from the land of milk and honey, then the Canaan Dog could be the companion for you!
