The Canaan Dog originated in the Middle East and was originally used as a guide dog. Now, the Canaan Dog can be used for herding, alerting, tracking and rescue.
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.
Protect wild animals and eliminate game.
