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 Silky terrier
The Silky terrier is a small, elegant but sturdy terrier with a fine silky coat and a bold, lively nature. Affectionate and alert, it suits owners who can provide regular grooming, daily walks, training, and mental stimulation. It often combines portability with strong terrier instincts.
