Summary
About Caucasian Shepherd Dog
Large, powerful livestock guardian from the Caucasus, bred to protect flocks and property. Big, heavily coated, weatherproof dog, deeply loyal to its family but wary and territorial with strangers. Independent, strong‑willed, needs experienced handling, early training, space and secure fencing.
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.
