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 2010 CDCA National Specialty will be held on Saturday, June 19, 2010, on the lovely Miami County Fairgrounds, in Troy, Ohio, 30 miles north of Dayton. Festivities begin on Wednesday, June 16, with a welcome party at the host hotel, the Comfort Inn in Piqua, Ohio, 8 miles from the show site. The premium list is now available. Make your reservations for the banquet! Park overnight (also known as “camping”) at the fairgrounds! Enter your dog in the herding instinct test!
