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 Irish Red Setter
An energetic, affectionate pointing dog with a chestnut-red coat, long ears, and an elegant, athletic build. Bred to find and point game birds, the Irish Red Setter needs plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and close interaction with its owner. Playful and often slow to mature, this breed is best suited to an active home with time for training, companionship, and regular grooming.
