The Canaan Dog is a dog breed developed in the early 20th century[3][better source needed] from semiwild pariah dogs that were the descendants of animals present in the region since biblical times. It is a breed of pariah dog found across the Middle East.[2] It can be found in Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine,[4] and the Sinai Peninsula and these, or dogs nearly identical, were also found in Syria[5][6] over 9,000 years ago.[3] It is the national dog of Israel.[7] As of 2012, there were 2,000 to 3,000 Canaan Dogs across the world.[8]
