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 Scottish Deerhound
The Scottish Deerhound is a tall, elegant Scottish sighthound with a rough, low‑maintenance coat. Calm and gentle yet athletic, it needs ample daily exercise and secure space. Affectionate, sensitive, and quiet indoors, it suits owners who value a peaceful, devoted large companion.
