From An Owner:
The
Canaan Dog is one of the few natural breeds left in the world with
wild Canaans still to be found in the Middle East, primarily
around Israel. They are a "pariah dog", that is a
domesticated breed that has reverted to the wild (though some
debate that a pariah is a wild dog that has become domesticated)
and a member of the Spitz dog family. Canaans are becoming an
endangered species in the wild. Additionally there are only just
over 1500 domesticated Canaans in the world. Because even the
domesticated Canaan Dog is still just a few generations from the
wild, it still possesses very strong survival instincts, which
make it an intelligent, independent and wary breed.
The
Canaan Dog is a healthy and adaptable dog, who needs an owner with
a firm but loving hand. They are an excellent family dog, easily
trained, but
Canaans
are very clean dogs with frugal eating habits and their grooming
needs are minimal. Though wary and somewhat aloof with strangers,
Canaan Dogs are very loving with the family and really enjoy being
stroked and cuddled.
