Summary
About Neapolitan Mastiff
Ancient Italian giant guardian with massive build and heavy wrinkles. Calm and affectionate with family, wary of strangers, and protective by nature. Needs early training, steady leadership, moderate daily walks, and careful skin and drool care due to size and loose folds.
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.
