Canaan Dog (Hebrew: כלב כנעני‎ ‎ , "Kelev Kna'ani "; Arabic: كلب كنعاني‎ ‎ , "Kaleb Kna'ani ") is a breed of pariah dog and the national dog breed of Israel, having been in existence in the Middle East for thousands of years. There are 2,000 to 3,000 Canaan dogs across the world, mostly in Europe and North America.
Despite mostly existing in Europe and North America, Israel chose a specific pariah dog as their national breed.
