Summary
About King Charles Spaniel
Small, aristocratic toy spaniel with a domed head, short nose and large dark eyes, bred as a devoted lap companion. Calm indoors with moderate exercise needs, it thrives on constant human contact. Long, silky coat needs regular grooming; prone to heart, eye and brachycephalic‑related issues.
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.
