5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent description of temperament and many nice photos, August 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Israel Canaan Dog (Paperback)

The book includes many photos of early dogs so is great for anyone studing the history of the breed. There is an excellent description of temperament and what it's like to live with a Canaan Dog. This book is a must for anyone thinking about getting a Canaan Dog

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for Canaan Dog owners and breeders, September 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Israel Canaan Dog (Paperback)

This book is written by the world's leading authority on Canaan Dogs. The collection of photos alone is invaluable, depicting early dogs as well as those more recent. The information on feral and Bedouin-owned Canaan Dogs can not be found elsewhere. The information on breeders is less useful because it constantly needs to be updated. If you are interested in the breed, or pariah dogs in general, you need this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best text on Canaan Dogs, October 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Israel Canaan Dog (Hardcover)

Myrna Shiboleth is the world's leading authority on Canaan Dogs. Having worked with the breed's founder (Dr. Menzel), owning the largest Canaan Dog kennel in Israel, having bred and shown to their championships in many countries innumerable Canaans, being an esteemed international dog shows judge herself, and a professional animal behaviorist, give her a unique perspective and qualification to write about this breed.

The result is this authoritative book on Canaan Dogs, still the more complete book available on the breed. This text is a "must" for every person seriously interested in the breed, but it is accessible to newcomers as well. The only possible fault I find with this book is that with the exception of the covers, all the photos are in B&W. Perhaps a future edition will bring in colors?
