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 Dutch Schapendoes
The Dutch Schapendoes is a medium, shaggy-coated Dutch herding dog, lively and agile with a bouncy gait. Cheerful, people-oriented and playful, it suits active families. Intelligent but independent, it needs positive training, regular mental exercise and frequent grooming.
