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 Pharaoh Hound
An elegant, medium-sized dog from Malta with a reddish-brown coat, large upright ears, and amber eyes. Its background as a rabbit hunter is reflected in its speed and strong prey drive. The Pharaoh Hound is friendly, affectionate, and playful, but also independent. It needs daily exercise, mental stimulation, and safe opportunities to run. Its coat is easy to care for, though it may need a warm dog coat in winter.
