The Israel Canaan Dog

Rating:
Summary: Best text on Canaan Dogs
Review: Myrna Shiboleth is the world's leading authority on Canaan Dogs. Having worked with the breed's founder (Dr. Menzel), owning the largest Canaan Dog kennel in Israel, having bred and shown to their championships in many countries innumerable Canaans, being an esteemed international dog shows judge herself, and a professional animal behaviorist, give her a unique perspective and qualification to write about this breed.

The result is this authoritative book on Canaan Dogs, still the more complete book available on the breed. This text is a "must" for every person seriously interested in the breed, but it is accessible to newcomers as well. The only possible fault I find with this book is that with the exception of the covers, all the photos are in B&W. Perhaps a future edition will bring in colors?

Summary: Excellent description of temperament and many nice photos

Summary: A must for Canaan Dog owners and breeders
Review: This book is written by the world's leading authority on Canaan Dogs. The collection of photos alone is invaluable, depicting early dogs as well as those more recent. The information on feral and Bedouin-owned Canaan Dogs can not be found elsewhere. The information on breeders is less useful because it constantly needs to be updated. If you are interested in the breed, or pariah dogs in general, you need this book.
