Welcome to MidSummer Canaan Dogs, a small conscientious breeding program dedicated to keeping the Canaan Dog healthy, with its typical character, and without losing its natural beauty. We strive to produce sound, efficient moving Canaan Dogs with appropriate size, type and temperament. As guardians of this breed, we take our puppy placements seriously. All homes wishing to be considered for a puppy must be willing and able to meet the proper socialization and foundational training requirements for this breed.

     Our dogs are cherished family members and live with us in our home. Each litter is selectively bred and extensively socialized with our children, making our puppies excellent pets and family companions. Performing, hiking, or lounging around on a Sunday afternoon, the Midsummer gang is always in the mix.

     We continually strive to improve ourselves and advance our canine knowledge.  As such, we attend classes and yearly seminars in nutrition, breeding, genetics, training and conformation.  More than that, we are avid researchers, and pride ourselves on finding and using the best information available to rear our puppies. We are happy to share our knowledge with anyone who wants to learn more about Canaan Dogs. Please email us if you have any questions that you did not find answered on our site.

     Organized Parent Clubs provide a means for education, collaboration, and a Code of Ethics for Breeders and Fanciers to follow. We are active members and officers of the Israel Canaan Dog Club of America (ICDCA), and the Canaan Dog Club of America (CDCA). Additionally, we belong to the Midwest Canaan Dog Club (MCDC), a Regional Organization comprised of Midwestern Canaan Dog Fanciers.
