Are Canaan Dogs rare?

Yes, Canaan Dogs are a rare breed. While they have ancient origins and have existed in the Middle East for thousands of years, their numbers are relatively low worldwide. They’re not commonly seen outside their native region, partly due to their unique history as a naturally occurring breed and the fact that they haven’t been widely bred for specific purposes like other more popular dog breeds . Their rarity makes them a distinctive breed, often appreciated by enthusiasts for their intelligence, loyalty, and adaptability.
