From the Companions Nativity Collector Card: The Canaan dog breed is an ancient one and is from the area called Canaan which is now modern day Israel and the Palestinian territories. This dog is one of the oldest breeds and can be traced to biblical times so it's likely that Timaeus the Shepherd may have brought one with him to honor the Baby Jesus..

The Christmas season is beautifully portrayed in this heirloom quality nativity set. Carefully chosen fabrics are applied to the bonded marble sculptures to add texture and an authentic first century appearance. Each year artist Linda MacDonald adds a new piece and retires an old one, and collectors are building value as they enjoy the beauty of this Christmas Nativity scene.
