Answer:None of those breeds are really 'pets'...they're working dogs that need experienced handlers and most often, a 'job'. They also are not the types of dogs you'd take to romp in a dog park or expect to be highly sociable with strangers and other dogs. They're all great breeds but at your age I think a labrador, australian shepherd, golden retriever, or other more 'mainstream' breed is more suitable.
I HEARD THAT THEY'RE GENERALLY HEALTHIER THAN THE OTHER DOG BREEDS.....IS THAT TRUE?

My family is interested in acquiring a Canaan Dog. Does anyone have an knowledge about the breed concerning how compatibility they are with cats and other dogs, and how they do home alone. Also, where I can get one from a reputable breeder in New England? Help please! And i also know for a fact that there are at least 3 Canaan dog breeders in NE recommended by the official canaan dog club. :-) And have also read from their site that they are generally good with other animals. :-)
Answer:The AKC has breeder listing on their website. Before you get one spend the day with one. Contact the Canaan Dog Rescue group and talk to experienced dog owner. What may be a good dog for one lifestyle may not fit with another. Canaan dogs are listed as Pariah dogs. Dogs in this family usually require a more experienced owner. Start slow and learn about the breed before you get one.
