"Questions That Make No Sense" for $1000, Alex. Canis Major is a constellation. It has approximately nothing to do with gods and/or goddesses. Answer Canis Major is quite literally 'Top Dog' and is the lead dog following Orion the hunter. The brightest star in the constellation is Sirius, the dog star.
Canis Major is a constellation, not a single star. The constellation contains a large number of stars and other cosmic objects which have no astrophysical relationship with one another. It is simply that they are located in such a direction, and are so far away, that they appear to move together. The distances to the cosmic objects that make up Canis Major (CMa) range from Sirius 8.6 light years to W CMa 8,400 light years. This would suggest a length of around 8400 ly.
14 major stars

It is difficult to answer the question since Canis Major (the great dog) is a constellation, not a single star. The constellation contains a very large number of stars and other cosmic objects which have no astrophysical relationship with one another. It is simply that they are located in such a direction, and are so far away, that they appear to move together. The distances to the cosmic objects that make up Canis Major range from 8.6 light years to 8,400 light years. You can take your pick as to which number in that range represents the distance to Canis Major.
Canis Minor is not star. It is an area of the sky (a constellation). It contains a lot of stars at many different distances.
