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 Greenland Dog
A powerful polar dog with a compact body, upright ears, and a dense, protective double coat. Bred for endurance sled work, the Greenland Dog thrives on pulling, carrying packs, and joining challenging outdoor adventures. Energetic, independent, and generally friendly toward people, it needs an experienced, active owner who can provide work, companionship, and thoughtful training.
