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 Swedish Lapphund
The Swedish Lapphund is an ancient Nordic spitz‑type herding dog with a compact, sturdy build and thick black double coat. Lively, vocal and people‑oriented, it excels in herding and dog sports. Active, intelligent and sensitive, it needs regular exercise, training and close family contact.
