Summary
About Pumi
The Pumi is a medium‑small Hungarian herding dog with a curly, low‑shedding coat, pricked ears, and an alert expression. Intelligent, energetic, and vocal, it excels in dog sports, needs regular mental and physical work, bonds closely with its family, and remains relatively rare.
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.
