The Canaan Dog (Hebrew: כלב כנעני; Arabic: كلب كنعاني) is a dog breed developed in the early 20th century[3][4] from semiwild pariah dogs that were the descendants of animals present in the region since biblical times.[2] It can be found in Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine,[5] and the Sinai Peninsula. It is the national dog of Israel.[6] As of 2012, there were 2,000 to 3,000 Canaan Dogs across the world.[7]
