| Maccabee - Our Zen Canaan! JK Maccabee Northern Warrior "Macc" CKC-HT, CGN, CARO-RN, AKC-RN, CDCA-HCX, ICDCA-VC Whelped: April 24, 2003 Colour: Cream with gold markings Sire: CKC Ch Hadar Ha'Aretz Northern Snow "Jake" ,CGN,CGC Dam: Riverview's Kayla We wanted a loyal, healthy, versatile companion and that is exactly what we got when Master Macc entered our lives. Macc was our introduction to the breed and is the reason why we are involved in so many activities. We fell instantly in love with the breed when we met Macc's sire "Jake" CKC Ch Hadar Ha'Aretz Northern Snow, CGN, CGC, owned by Genevieve Landis. Jake’s solid structure and sound temperament won our hearts. Jake was the epitome of the Canaan Dog and why were involved with the breed today. Travel Companion & Distinquished Gentleman He is our avid and compliant travel companion, whether it be a 12-hour car drive or a six-hour hiking trip into the Rocky Mountains with hail storms beating down our backs and Grizzlies hidden in the mist. But most importantly, he is the dog who is on the invite list for the most dinner parties in the neighbourhood! When we are invited for dinner we always ask “ what should we bring?” The answer is always “a bottle of Shiraz and Macc!” He has mastered the fine art of etiquette on how a regal pariah pooch conducts oneself among dinner guests. If you were to ask him why he gets invited back he would probably say his trade secrets are “always looking alert and dignified no matter what trick they ask you to perform, and my soft poetic eyes.” Stock Sense Macc’s stock sense is one of his strongest attributes - gentle with the lambs, but at the same time he can put a ram in its place with just a glance. He has a natural talent for herding and made Canadian history when he became the first Canaan Dog to earn a herding title at a CKC trial in 2005. He continues to teach us more about patience, dedication, and trusting one’s instincts than any other dog we have had. Macc has attended training sessions and seminars for Tending and Stock Dog, to go along with trialing in Arena and Stockdog. Intuitive, Gentle, & Contemplative His natural gentleness with small children and “little white” dogs — we think it’s the lamb thing - has allowed him to participate in many special events. Most notably these include parades and day camps where a dog is used to educate children on how to behave around canines. To us, Macc is our Zen-Canaan, who we can always count on for a quiet sit-down-and- ponder-the-universe-with-incense session on the floor after the sun has set. We actually get the sense that he is channeling with the great dog deities of the past! Macc has already proven his ability to pass on his most desirable traits to his sons & daughters.
