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 Catalan Sheepdog (Gos d’atura català)
Medium-sized herding dog from Catalonia with a rustic, shaggy double coat and expressive eyes. Loyal and people-focused, often bonding closely with one person. Intelligent, observant and naturally guarding, it needs daily exercise, mental work and regular but simple grooming.
