Summary
About Canaan Dog
The Canaan Dog is an ancient, medium-sized, agile desert breed from the Middle East. Alert and watchful, it is a natural guardian: reserved with strangers yet loyal and affectionate with family. It has a weather-resistant, easy-care double coat and generally enjoys good health and longevity.
About Hokkaido
A sturdy, medium-sized Japanese spitz with small, erect ears, a curled tail, and a dense double coat. Its heritage as a hunting dog for the Ainu people is reflected in its stamina, courage, and strong prey drive. The Hokkaido is loyal and eager to learn, but also independent. It needs an active, experienced owner who can provide exercise, mental stimulation, and positive socialization, with extra grooming during shedding season.
