Summary
About Schipperke
Schipperkes are small, sturdy Belgian dogs with a square build and thick black double coat forming a ruff and “culottes.” Alert, intelligent, and independent, they’re loyal watchdogs, energetic companions needing daily mental and physical exercise, and generally robust with proper health care.
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.
