We breed Native American Indian Dogs & Canaan dogs. Both Ancient Dog breeds that were bred to protect. We also have a few Border Collies used for the speed events!
Native American Indian Dog
The Native American Indian dog is a very rare breed of dog that was once used by the Native Americans to pull travois and pack a backpack loaded with the family�s possessions' across thousands of miles of the North American continent. These dogs were used for hunting anything & everything from quail to rabbits, bear to beaver, elk to caribou to moose and they were even taught how to fish by the Native Americans. They were used to baby-sit the elderly and very young and guard the village from intruders. They accompanied the women and children while they were gathering berries, roots, herbs and other food sources and protected them from man and wild beast alike. They played a very vital role in the lives of the original Americans until the horse was introduced by the Spaniards.
Canaan Dog
The Canaan Dog began in ancient times as a pariah dog in Israel. This dog is one of the oldest, dating back to biblical times. The Canaan Dog was the guard and herd dog of the ancient Israelites, guarding their camps and flocks. They were plentiful in the region until the dispersion of the Israelites by the Romans in the 2nd century. As the Hebrew population dropped, the majority of the dogs sought refuge in the Negev Desert, a natural reservoir of Israeli wildlife. Avoiding extinction, they remained undomesticated for the most part, although some lived with the Bedouins and earned their keep by guarding the herds and camps. Some were also guards for the Druze on Mount Carmel. They survived this way until Dr. Rudolphina Menzel came up with the idea to use these intelligent scavenger dogs mainly found in the desert, as guard dogs for the scattered Jewish settlements. She initiated a selective breeding program to produce the breed known today as the Canaan Dog.
