On April 18, 2022, Poppy went into labour and gifted us with 5 gorgeous puppies - 4 girls and 1 boy. The girls are all marked like dad, white with black patches, and the boy is white with red patches like his mum. See photos below in the section What We Require of Our Puppy Buyers. If you are interested in providing a loving, forever home to one of these babies, contact us for more information and to arrange a visit.

Our aim at Anacan is to preserve and promote the natural Canaan Dog. Ellen began promoting the breed in 1984 under the 'Briel' affix in the USA and since 1995 under the 'Anacan' affix in the UK and is a member of the Kennel Club Assured Breeders Scheme . Fortunately, her husband, Richard, loves the Canaans as much as she does and helps in every area of their care. He has bred one litter before meeting Ellen which produced the wonderful 'Digger' (The Lion of Judah At Anacan). |

Before we decide to breed one of our girls we take many things into
consideration. When we breed we always do so with the idea of improving upon what we already have. We have endeavoured to keep our line as close to the natural and healthy Canaan as is possible. As we also want our breeding to benefit the breed as a whole, we carefully choose our breeding stock for what we feel is correct not only in breed type, but is also sound and healthy in body and mind.
If you decide you would like to go onto our waiting list please do not be offended when we question you.
We do our best to explain to everyone that even if you are on our waiting list it does not guarantee you will get a puppy. We do our best, based on the
information you give us, to match the right puppy with the right family. We encourage people to meet a Canaan Dog 'in the flesh' before making a final decision to acquire a puppy. There are several opportunties to do so throughout the year -- Discover Dogs at the ExCel Centre, London in October, the National Pet Show at the NEC, Birmingham in November, and at Crufts in March.. We are also happy to have people come to Anacan at a mutually convenient time and meet all of our dogs. Nothing you read can take the place of actually meeting and interacting with a number of Canaan Dogs. As a puppy buyer you have every right to ask us questions. But we too have the right to question you as we wish only the best for both our puppies and our buyers. So what do we require of you?
It's not a big list, but it is an important one as we feel it will help us find the right homes for our Canaans. We put a lot of love and effort into raising these special creatures and we cannot, in good conscience, let them just go anywhere. Please be assured that if we feel you are not the right person/family for one of our dogs, it does not necessarily mean that you would not make a good dog owner. It just means that we do not feel a Canaan is the breed that would make you happy. Our dogs are not kennel dogs....they are raised in the house with us. Our puppies are born with Ellen right by mother's side throughout the labour and they are raised in our house. We do not allow our puppies to leave us before they are 8 weeks of age and all of our puppies are given a complete health check, their first vaccination, and are microchipped by our veterinarian before leaving for their new homes. |
