Canaan Dog Information

If you want an ancient, exotic dog no one else in your town is likely to have, the Canaan dog is for you. Amazingly, the Canaan dog dates back to Biblical times, from the Land of Canaan, around 2,000 B.C. It is currently the national breed of Israel.

This breed has exceptional athleticism and agility. But with his strong personality, the Canaan Dog needs a strong leader. When trained properly, he is an exceptional pet. Undertrained dogs can bark frequently and be slightly aggressive in nature, so it’s best to commit time to his teachings when he is a young.
