Summary
About Saarloos Wolfdog
The Saarloos Wolfdog is a Dutch, wolf-like breed created from German Shepherd and European wolf. Sensitive, cautious with strangers and deeply loyal, it needs space, calm homes, careful socialisation, positive training and plenty of exercise, suiting only experienced owners.
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.
