This breed was already well established in the Middle East during the Biblical Era. Like many of the breeds that retain their ancestral traits, the Canaan Dog has the prick ears, short, rough coat, and spirit of tenacity that made it ultimately useful as a herd dog thousands of years ago. They are endearing, highly responsive, and make excellent companion dogs in the modern home.
