Summary
About Dandie Dinmont Terrier
Small, long-backed terrier with a distinctive silky topknot, the Dandie Dinmont is calm and affectionate at home but brave and determined outdoors. Originally bred to hunt otters and badgers, it has a low-shedding, high-maintenance coat and is rare, making responsible breeding vital.
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.
