Summary
About Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen
Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen: small, sturdy French scent hound with a rough, tousled coat and shaggy eyebrows and beard. Cheerful, social and comical yet independent, vocal and strong‑willed. Needs plenty of exercise, patient positive training and secure fencing due to strong hunting drive.
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.
