Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Kol Tuv Canaan Dogs located in Vail, AZ. I've been breeding to preserve the bloodline of the ancient, natural, rare Canaan Dog since 2002. While focusing on temperament, health, and breed standard, my special interest is diversity. I use Puppy Culture protocols to raise solid, stable, happy Canaan Dogs.
Carrie’s experience
About Carrie
I was introduced to this phenomenal breed in 1997 and they have held my heart ever since! I then started going to dog shows, competing in performance events, and then eventually breeding. Canaan Dogs check all my boxes: healthy, medium-sized, low-grooming requirements, and workability. As a preservation breeder, I am dedicated to preserving, protecting, and improving these amazing dogs!
What makes Carrie’s program special
In addition to being a responsible breeder/owner/handler competing in various AKC/UKC/IABCA performance events, my dogs have AKC Trick titles, participate in herding clinics, and have earned various versatility titiles. My very first Canaan Dog, Ms. Maccabee, was even the first Canaan Dog to receive the AKC Therapy Dog title! My program is conscious and intentional, and the quality of my puppies reflects the careful decisions I make throughout every part of the breeding process.
