Health Philosophy









Without the efforts of the "Menzels" we would not have the "Canaan Dog" of today. In the mid-1930s, they were driven by the concerns of their mentor, Prof. Dr. Hauck in Vienna, to study the pariah dogs and protect them from endangerment. Through their intensive research the Menzels observed that certain "Pariah Dog" traits were highly adaptable to living with man, and with training, could service him as a working dog.

We soon found ourselves intrigued by the pariahs and later learned to love these most neglected creations, these dogs for whom the desire for attachment to human beings beats so strongly that they are satisfied when they recognize that a person really means well toward them and they may trust him.”

"Owning a Canaan Dog, or any dog, is an "every day" commitment. A dog is for life, not just until it is inconvenient."
