We study the interplay between canonical heights and endomorphisms of an abelian variety $A$ over a number field $k$. In particular we show that whenever the ring of endomorphisms defined over $k$ is strictly larger than $\mathbb{Z}$ there will be $\mathbb{Q}$-linear relations among the values of a canonical height pairing evaluated at a basis modulo torsion of $A(k)$.
