History:

It is an ancient dog breed, originally used by the Bedouins (Arabs who were nomadic in the desert) for herding and vigilance in the Negev desert. Existing varieties bred in the 1930s have proven to be outstanding all-rounders. During World War II, a large number of Canaan shells were trained to detect mineral deposits, and after the war, some were used again. Canaan dogs can now be used for herding, guarding, tracking and rescue. Although they are quite aloof, they can also make great companion animals. In their country of origin, Canaan dogs have grown in popularity and are now found in every corner of the United States.
