History of the breed
The race of Canaan dog was developed on the basis of wild dogs from the Near East . Formerly, this dog was bred for the care and defense of animals and dwellings . The first structured breedings were led by Rudolphina Menzel from the end of the 1940s. After her death, it was the breeder Myrna Shiboleth who took over and helped to perpetuate and improve the breed. From the 1960s, subjects were exported to the United States, Italy and Great Britain. The Canaan Dog breed was definitively recognized by the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) on November 23, 1966.
