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 Romanian Mioritic Shepherd Dog
Large, powerful livestock guardian from Romania’s Carpathians, with a robust build and long, dense, shaggy coat. Calm and devoted with family but reserved with strangers, it is independent, strongly territorial, needs early socialisation, firm fair training, space, and experienced ownership.
