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 East Siberian Laika
A powerful, lively hunting dog from Siberia with a wedge-shaped head, erect ears, and a dense double coat. Independent in the forest and friendly toward people, the East Siberian Laika is bred for versatile hunting, often of larger game. This breed needs a dedicated hunter with access to hunting grounds, plenty of physical and mental stimulation, and regular grooming during shedding season.
