Canaan Dog Information
Canaan Dog Description:The history of the Canaan Dog is about 10,000 years old. Historical evidence suggests that ancient Arabs used Canaan like dogs for guarding their camps and for herding cattle. The nomadic Arabs still use these dogs for the same purpose. The breed was first bred in 1930s by Dr. Menzel. She bred some wild Canaan dogs of Israel and supplied them to the army for mining operations and search and rescue operations. Three decades later, four of the specimens were shipped to US, hence marking the dogs’ foray into the United States. It was first recognized by the AKC in 1997. |
