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 Norwegian Buhund
The Norwegian Buhund is a medium, athletic Scandinavian spitz with a square build, erect ears, and curled tail. A people‑focused, vocal farm and herding dog, it is alert, energetic, and intelligent, excelling in dog sports and thriving in active homes needing a devoted watchdog.
