I cannot agree with the previous review of this book except in one area. I do not know how the author researched this book and where she got her information, but there is really only one statement in the book I disagree with, and that is where she says that a Canaan Dog is prone to bite. THIS IS NOT TRUE. In the very early days there were a few people-agressive Canaan Dogs and they were the source of bad stories about the breed which took a long time to overcome. Other than this one misrepresentation, the book does a good job of introducing a first-time owner to the breed. It should be a companion to the information received from a breeder and not the sole source of information in which case the reader should have already been set right about Canaan Dog temperament.
Well written by two people who have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share. Plenty of excellent colour photos from dogs around the world. A wealth of practical information covering breed history, description, their requirements, how to choose one, care, feeding, health, behaviour and training. Recommended by breeders.
THE world's leading authority on the Canaan Dog, Myrna Shiboleth, has produced this excellent book on the history and development of the breed, containing many photographs of Canaan Dogs from the past and from all over the world (sadly in black & white) it is a must for anyone interested in the Canaan Dog. Myrna worked with the founder of the breed (Prof. Menzel),has bred and shown many many champion Canaan Dogs, is a well respected judge and a professional animal behaviorist she is therefore uniquely qualified to write this authoritative book about the breed.
