Summary
About Smålandsstövare
The Smålandsstövare is a Swedish medium scenthound, compact and sturdy with a dense black and tan coat and often a natural short tail. Bred for hunting hare and fox, it is loyal, calm at home yet energetic outdoors, intelligent, independent, and still uncommon outside Scandinavia.
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.
