Caanan Dogs are extremely keen and alert, so they make excellent watchdogs. They're very gentle and adjust to almost any lifestyle if walked daily. They're reserved with strangers and sometimes aggressive with other dogs. They're usually good with children. Some Caanan dogs bark, dig, and whine. Caanan dogs are herding dogs. In general, herding dogs were originally bred to control the movement of sheep and cattle. While some breeds still work the farmlands, others are used for search and rescue and narcotics detection. When kept as pets, these dogs often try to "herd" their owners by nipping at their owners' heels. If properly trained and exercised daily, herders make excellent family companions.
