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 Danish Spitz
Medium, agile Nordic companion from Denmark with a foxlike face and curled tail. Cheerful, people‑oriented and alert, it barks to announce visitors. Dense double coat in white to cream shades needs regular brushing. Active and intelligent, it excels with gentle training and daily exercise.
