Meet the Kol Tuv Canaan Dogs:
Kol Tuv Ner Echad L'Maccabee ("Ellie")
Ellie's name means "One Candle for Maccabee" in Hebrew. I look forward to the adventures I'll share with this stunning little girl. |
A little about me...
I got my first Canaan Dog, Ms. Maccabee, in 1997 after finding the breed in a Puppy Breeds book and seeing that they checked all of my boxes: healthy, medium sized, low grooming requirements (aka wash & wear), and had herding ability. Ms. Maccabee was to lead me down a long road of firsts as I had never been to a dog show, competed with a dog in any sort of performance event, bred a dog or even knew what a therapy dog was; she changed all that!
In addition to being a breeder/owner/handler of Canaan Dogs competing in conformation (AKC/UKC/IABCA), Rally, Obedience, Barn Hunt, and Coursing, my dogs have AKC Trick titles, participate in herding clinics and have earned versatility titles from both the CDCA and ICDCA clubs. And Ms. Maccabee has the honor of being the first Canaan Dog to receive the AKC Therapy Dog title.
I belong to the Canaan Dog Club of America (past Director), the Israel Canaan Dog Club of America (past: secretary, treasurer, director) and the Madera Canyon Kennel Club (past: secretary and treasurer). I am also the President and Eastern US coordinator for the Canaan Dog Rescue Network - the only AKC/CDCA/ICDCA recognized rescue network assisting purebred Canaan Dogs.
In 2019 I earned the AKC Breeder of Merit title for Canaan Dogs - an achievement of which I am especially proud.

I use Puppy Culture protocols in raising my litters to give them the best possible start in life.
My co-breeder Risa Baumrind and I are the only 2 Canaan Dog breeders in the US currently on the PC Breeder map.
