Although we had been exhibiting and breeding dogs since 1986, Evie was our first Canaan Dog. Whilst she was not show quality, when put to a stud dog of excellent type she produced a couple of nice Canaan Dogs. She had the sweetest temperament and character, and today we still miss her.

I haven’t seen a Caanan with its ears flapped over. Was Evie a Caanan mix?
Hi Elizabeth. Evie’s dam was free-born in Tunisia and came over to the UK with her owner. Here she was mated to a Canaan Dog that was in this country and when the puppies were born Myrna Shiboleth from Israel came to see them. As the puppies all looked like Canaan Dogs she approved the litter, and thus Evie’s dam, so they could be registered with the Kennel Club. Evie was from a second litter from her. Sometimes a dog’s ears may simply not become erect.
Thanks for sharing…I didn’t know that. What causes a Canaan dog’s ears not to become erect?
