Summary
About Australian Cattle Dog
Medium, muscular Australian working dog bred to drive cattle over long distances. Known for blue or red speckled double coat, pricked ears and alert expression. Highly intelligent, energetic, loyal and wary of strangers; needs extensive daily exercise, mental work and consistent positive training.
About Azawakh
The Azawakh is an ancient Sahel sighthound: tall, ultra-lean and fast, bred by Tuareg nomads for guarding and hunting. Loyal and gentle with family but aloof with strangers, it needs secure fencing, ample daily exercise, a soft warm bed, and protection from cold due to its thin, short coat.
