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 Canaan Dog
The Canaan Dog is an ancient, medium-sized, agile desert breed from the Middle East. Alert and watchful, it is a natural guardian: reserved with strangers yet loyal and affectionate with family. It has a weather-resistant, easy-care double coat and generally enjoys good health and longevity.
