No, the Canaan Dog is not an ideal seeing-eye dog.
Firstly, the Canaan Dog does not have the desirable temperament to be a seeing-eye dog. It tends to distrust strangers or anything new, so it is not adaptable to situations it might encounter when working as a seeing-eye dog. This breed is also strong-willed and can be hard to train and stubborn at times.
Secondly, the Canaan Dog is prone to some behavioural problems that are unacceptable for seeing-eye dogs. It may also be aggressive to other animals and demonstrates strong chasing instincts. This breed may also show destructiveness when bored or when its physical requirements are not met, and it may bark excessively.
The Canaan Dog is also considered as an uncommon breed, and can be hard to find.
