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 Bouvier des Flandres
Powerful, rugged herding dog from Flanders, medium‑large with a thick, tousled double coat and bearded face. Calm yet serious, strongly loyal and protective, it needs early socialization, confident positive training, regular mental challenges, and plenty of daily exercise.
