The CDCA is a non-profit organization whose primary objective is to encourage and promote the breeding of pure-bred Canaan Dogs and to do all possible to bring their natural qualities to perfection. The CDCA was formed in 1965 with the arrival of the first four Canaan Dogs to the United States.

The CDCA is sponsoring three AKC All Breed Agility Trials, on May 11-13, 2012, in Pendleton, South Carolina. Trial Secretary: Laurene Galgano, GoneDoggin' Agility. Judges: Christie Bowers, Chris Dewey. Download your Premium List today.

The Dog Writers Association of America (DWAA) nominated the Canaan Kibitzer for a 2011 Regular Writing Competition Award, Club Publications: National, Category 2: Club: Newsletter Format. The Kib is a club publication — driven by your submissions — so this is an honor to all. Special thanks to Bryna Comsky who brought us to the attention of DWAA.
