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 Shepherd (Hollandse Herder)
Dutch Shepherds are medium, athletic Dutch farm dogs with three brindle coat types. Intelligent, loyal, and protective, they bond closely with family, excel in work and sport, and need significant daily exercise, training, and socialization to stay balanced.
