Canaan Dog Life habits and morphological characteristics

The Canaan's head is relatively long, with a considerable excess length in proportion to its corresponding width and depth. Wedge-shaped when viewed from above, slightly arched when viewed from the side, tapering slightly to the stop. The forehead is of medium width, but the ears are low set, so that the part across the ears appears wide, and the low-set ears create an alert expression, with a slight shallow groove between the eyes.
The eyes are dark, almond-shaped, slightly slanted, and in liver-marked dogs, the eye color is various shades of hazelnut (hazel). The eye rims are dark black (in liver-marked dogs, the eye rims are various shades of hazelnut, coordinated with the coat color). The Canaan's ears are erect, medium-sized, set moderately low, wide at the base, tapering to a slightly rounded tip. When excited, the ears turn slightly forward.

The ancestor of the Canaan Dog was a wild dog called the "Pariah Dog" domesticated by the ancient Israelites. At first, the Canaan Dog lived in the Middle East as a stray dog or wild dog for several centuries. By the 1930s, Israeli canine expert Dr. Rudolphina Menzel directed a selective breeding program in Jerusalem that resulted in the now numerous and versatile breed. As their numbers continued to grow, the Canan has spread across the United States.

The Canan is an excellent dog in many ways. It was used to detect mines during the war and as a guide and herder after the war. The Canan has a strong sense of smell and tracking ability, so it can find the mines. When it finds them, it will emit a loud and persistent sound to tell the detectives in the field. During the detection process, if something happens, it can also save itself according to the existing conditions.

In basic life, the Canaan Dog can herd sheep and guard livestock. It is indifferent and curious to strangers, loyal and friendly to its owner, and can be a good companion animal.
