Summary
About Maltipoo
Maltipoo: small, people‑oriented companion (3–8 kg, 24–35 cm) with a soft, low‑shedding, high‑maintenance coat. Typically affectionate, trainable, and suited to flats or houses with daily walks. Needs gentle training, regular grooming, company, and routine to avoid anxiety and barking.
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.
