Summary
About Norrbottenspets
The Norrbottenspets is a rare Nordic spitz: small to medium, athletic, with a foxlike look and curled tail. Bred in Sweden/Finland for forest bird hunting, it is vocal, alert, loyal, and reserved with strangers. Needs daily exercise, mental work, and close family involvement.
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.
