Summary
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.
About Auvergne Pointer (Braque d'Auvergne)
Medium French pointing dog with black‑and‑white “ink splash” coat, calm yet athletic. Sensitive, affectionate and people‑oriented, it bonds closely with its family. A versatile hunter needing 1.5–2 hours of daily activity, it is rare outside France but valued for its rustic, working character.
