The Canam Dog was developed in the last 20 years by flyball enthusiasts in an effort to create the perfect flyball dog. They were named after the largest annual tournament, the CanAm Flyball Classic.
Bold and friendly. Athletic and gritty. In the ring they are a tenacious, explosive, and focused racer. At home they are playful but relaxed and overwhelmingly affectionate.

- If a dog has achieved their ONYX in flyball, they will get a 5th breeding slot
Breeding Lethalities, Impairments, and Special Circumstances
- If a puppy rolls 2 copies of the KIT mutation it is reabsorbed in the womb and still counts for one of the puppies in the litter. It will not be rerolled.
- If a puppy rolls 2 copies of sw, the puppy has 5% chance of being unilaterally deaf and 5% chance of being bilaterally deaf. These puppies must take the BAER test to determine their hearing abilities.
- If chimerism is rolled, 2 puppies in the litter will absorb into one another to create 1 puppy. Dogs with chimerism are sterile.
