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 Lancashire Heeler
Small, sturdy British farm dog, the Lancashire Heeler is energetic, intelligent and agile, with a compact, low-slung body and weatherproof black-and-tan or liver-and-tan coat. Affectionate yet independent, it needs regular training, mental stimulation and exercise, and remains a rare, vulnerable native breed.
