Canaan Dog Arecent re-introduction to the United Kingdom, the Canaan Dog is generally accepted as the national breed of Isreal. A few have been registered here in the past decades, but is only in the last few years that the breed has begun to be exhibited at our shows. He stand up to 24 inches at the shoulder, which means he is at the upper end of the medium sized dogs. He has his origins in the feral dog of the Middle East, the pariah dog, and selective breeding is evolving a distinct breed type. The current interim breed standard is based closely on that of the federation Cynologique Internationale FCI, but there is some disagreement on the subject by those who consider themselves to be the founders of the current UK revival. Suffice it to say that he is an effective guarding dog, alert and versatile, and that no doubt, as time goes on, he will settle to a definite British pattern.
General Apearance A medium-sized, well-balanced, square dog of the pariah dog type. The dog should not be exaggerated in any way. It should look like it has the potential for survival in the desert.There should be astrong distinction between the sexes, with males looking feminine.

Neck Muscular and of medium length. Body ** Square, withers well developed, black level, loins muscular, chest deep and moderate breadth, ribs well sprung. Belly well tucked-up. Moderate angulation. Balance is essential.

Strong buttocks,lightly feathered. Feet Strong, round and catlike with hard pads. Tail Set High, thick brush, carried curled over the back when excited or alert.

Vigilant, not only against man, but other animals as well. Extraordinarily devoted and amenable to training.
Faults ** All deviations from the standard of the breed and all faults in the body structure which constitute a deviation from the norm of a well - built dog, including lack of two aparently normal testicles fully descented into the srcotum of the male animal.
