The Canaan Dog Club of America

AKC Parent Club of the Breed

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.
