About breed Standart FCI Dogs of desert
orgin of the breed.
The Canaana Dog has an ancient antique orgin. The breed has been known since pre-biblical times,when they existed in the "Land of Canaan". In 2200-2000 bc, drawings and carvings of a dog that greatly resrmbles today''s Canaan Dog appeared on the tombs of Beni-Hassan. The Canaan dog was originally breed to guard and flocks of the israelites. In the beginning, the breed was plentiful in the region until the scattering of Israelites by the Romans over 2000 years ago.
Although the Canaan Dog still exists in fairly large numbers in the wild, their population in the wild is dwinding somewhat, because of growing civilization. However, the breed''s popularity in the home has grown tremendously in recent years. It has established recognition in countres such as England, Holland, Switzerland, Finland, France, Ausria,Italy, Denmark, USA. Today, the Canaan Dog can still be found guarding the Bedouin camps and flocks.
general appearance.
The Canaan Dog is a herding and flock guardian dog native to the Middle East. He is aloof with strangers, inquisitive, loyal and loving with his family. His medium-size, square body is without extremes, showing a clear, sharp outline. The Canaan Dog moves with athletic agility and grace in a quick, brisk, ground-covering trot. He has a wedge-shaped head with low-set erect ears, a bushy tail that curls over the back when excited, and a straight, harsh, flat-lying double coat.
