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 Elkhound (Grey)
Ancient Nordic spitz bred for moose hunting; medium, sturdy and square with a thick grey double coat and curled tail. Loyal, vocal and independent, with strong guarding and prey instincts. Needs experienced, consistent training plus plenty of daily exercise and mental work.
