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 Maremma Abruzzese Sheepdog
Large, white Italian livestock guardian, the Maremma Abruzzese Sheepdog is powerful, weather‑resistant and deeply loyal yet reserved with strangers. Independent, strong‑willed and highly watchful, it needs space, secure fencing, experienced handling and regular coat care to thrive.
