Canaan Dog

        The Canaan Dog originated in Israel, and only recently did he migrate.  He has an athletic build, and he also eats in correspondence to this build.  These dogs are both good at hunting and guarding, but even if they get either or both of these jobs, they still need separate exercise.  He also may need a little time to learn to be obedient, for on the East they may have different concepts of obedience than in the West.  They’re of medium height, for both gender are 20-24 inches tall, and they weigh 39½-55 pounds.  Their coats are short, and can range from red, sand or even black or white.  These dogs are very athletic, so if you’re looking at buying one, be sure to think about your time available for walks as well.
