Summary
About Briard
The Briard is a large, ancient French herding dog with a long, wavy coat, beard, and eyebrows. Loyal and sensitive, it bonds deeply with family yet stays reserved with strangers. Intelligent and energetic, it needs ample exercise, positive training, and regular grooming to thrive.
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.
