The coat of the Canaan Dog is of a moderate length, making it easy to keep in order. The color can vary from sand to red, as well as black and white. He has the instincts of a good guard dog and a hunter. As far as his way of life goes, he fits better in the working dog category. A Canaan Dog loves physical training and freedom. He gets accustomed to his environment rather quickly, but still needs time to adapt.
