Note: the FCI standard allows solid white dogs, but the AKC and the Canaan Club of America standards do not. Dogs with red coats are either born creamy white and then darken or dark reddish brown and then lighten. Coat colors include solid black, tan, brown, sandy, red, liver, white, or in a patched pattern of liver and white, brown and white, black and white, with a symmetrical mask matching the color of its patches. Solid colors may have white trim on the chest, feet and tip of the tail. The outer coat is harsh, lying flat with a slight rough and the undercoat is straight and soft, lying flat. The tail is set high and may be carried over the back when the dog is excited. The eye rims are varying shades of liver depending on the coat color. The almond-shaped eyes are slightly slanted and come in shades of hazel.
The teeth meet in a scissors bite a level bite is accepted in the FCI standard but not the AKC. The nose is varying shades of liver depending on the coat color. The muzzle is the same size or slightly longer than the skull and tapered. The head is wedge-shaped with a shallow, but defined stop. The Canaan Dog is medium-sized and squarely proportioned.
