Canaan Dog
Canaan Dog
Medium, sturdy, squarely built dogs covered in flat harsh double coats. They have cat like feet and busy tails that curl over their back. The head is wedge shaped with a short tapered muzzle and almond-shaped eyes. The ears are triangular, point straight up and sit at the top of the skull.
Predominately white, with a mask and with or without additional patches of color. Also, solid-colored with or without white markings.
Fun-loving and gentle dogs yet naturally protective and watchful. Highly intelligent, easily trained and high energy. These dogs need a job to do or frequent mental and physical stimulation. Very athletic.
Originated in Israel over 4,000 years ago. They were used to guard and herd flocks and changed very little over the centuries.
Generally free of genetic disorders.
