The Canaan Dog is a breed of pariah dog that has been in existence for thousands of years and is the national dog of Israel. A 'pariah dog' refers to a breeds of free-ranging dogs that survive by scavenging food waste from human settlements. The breed became domesticated in the 1930s by Dr. Rudolphina Menzel. Menzel captured a small selection of semi-wild Canaan Dogs and tamed, trained and bred them. Menzel found that the breed was incredibly adaptable, trainable and relatively easy to completely domesticate. By the early 1950s Menzel had successfully trained Canaan Dog to work as guard dogs, guide dogs and fully domesticated family pets. Sadly there are not many wild Canaan Dogs left in Israel as the government destroyed most of them to combat an outbreak of rabies. The Canaan Dog has the appearance typical to primitive pariah dogs. The breed has a medium-sized square build with erect and low set ears on its wedge-shaped head. The breed has a dense, coarse, harsh and straight outer coat of a short to medium-short length. The Canaan Dog has a close undercoat that is either short and sparse or short to medium length and dense dependent on the season. The Canaan Dog's coat will normally come in black, white or tan colorations. However it is not uncommon to find a Canaan Dog with a reddish or brownish coat. As a whole the breed has a strong survival instinct which leads them to be generally very wary of strangers. They make excellent watchdogs as they are highly alert and prone to bark at unknown sounds, scents and events. Despite being highly defensive, the Canaan Dog is not an aggressive breed. They get along very well with children and other household pets. The Canaan Dog is also known to be an extremely intelligent and adaptable breed.
