Rasta is my first Canaan Dog and one dog I never ever want to imagine being without. I obtained him in hopes of having a superb working companion, athletic, agile, and able to be a partner in any canine sport I wished to pursue.

Though Rasta's working drive may leave something to be desired, he has given me so much more. The intense bond and companionship between us is the most fulfilling canine/human partnership I have yet to experience.

When I look at Rasta, I am captivated by his eyes. He exudes an aura of aristocratic nobility, sweet and genuine affection, and high intellect. Occasionally, I will catch the sparkle of his delightfully impish humor.

Rasta is the dog that is most in tune with me. He perks up when he hears my voice, in hopes that I am speaking to him. He seeks me out for hugs when he is feeling the need for added security, or when he senses that is what I need. His moods often eerily mirror my own. He becomes excited when I do and helps me enjoy the fun. He quiets and lays peacefully beside me when I am exuding a melancholy air.

Rasta is a perfect gentleman in most situations and is the dog that I can take absolutely anywhere. Crowded parties, doggie play groups, Fourth of July Fireworks, busy city streets, and leisurely outdoor cafes. I wouldn't hesitate to choose him as a companion in almost any social situation because I know he will behave beautifully and charm everyone who wants to meet him.

It is because of the exceptional companion ability of this one dog, that I now have multiple Canaan Dogs. I have several visitors to my home to meet Canaan Dogs

Sophistication.
Baby Rasta.
and most all of them comment on how much they enjoy Rasta. It is for this reason, and his dynamic abilities as a sensitive and entertaining companion, that I breed Canaan Dogs.

Together with all of the important pieces of a successful breeding program such as structure, health, & type, I wish to produce the companion ability that is present within Rasta.

See, I can be like other
Canaan Dogs with my ears up.
I just choose not to.
Even on the hottest of days,
Rasta still chooses sunbathing on the deck
over the cool shade.
