This site was last updated on the 9th February 2012 This site was designed & donated to the Club by Richard & Ellen Minto, and maintained by them since its inception 15th January 1999.

WELCOME TO THE UK AND THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE CANAAN DOG CLUB OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. (The official and only Canaan Dog Club in the UK which is recognised by The Kennel Club.) As you troll through different dog breed websites, you will soon come to realise that there are very few truly 'natural' breeds. As owners and fanciers of one of these few natural breeds, we jealousy guard our dogs from those who would change it to suit themselves or the show ring. This site offers you a glimpse into the history of the breed and into the Canaan Dog's struggle for recognition in the British Isles, as well as the facts about the beginnings of our breed club. Additionally the site offer a generous amount of general breed information, while showcasing Canaan Dog accomplishments in the UK. We also have a photo gallery displaying Canaans from all over the world, including its homeland of Israel and the Middle East. If this is your first visit to our website, may we suggest you go to the list of contents and check out the full range of topics covered. If you are new to the breed, why not start at Breed History and work your way from there. This website is meant to be a resource for those seeking information on the breed and/or the UK breed club. We wish to offer you an informative and enjoyable Canaan Dog resource. We hope you will find the Canaan Dog as fascinating and wonderful as we do. If you have any queries that are not answered in these pages please contact The Canaan Dog Club secretary, Mrs Ellen Minto, who has owned Canaan Dogs since1984, and she will be happy to help you. Thank you for visiting us. We hope you will visit often.
