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 Old Danish Pointing Dog
The Old Danish Pointing Dog is a sturdy, medium-sized Danish gundog with a white coat and brown patches. Calm and people-oriented, it hunts steadily at close range yet relaxes well at home. Sensitive but willing to cooperate, it needs gentle training, ample exercise, and regular health checks.
