Summary
About Tibetan Mastiff
Ancient Himalayan guardian breed, large and powerful yet agile, with a thick weather‑proof coat and lion‑like mane. Calm indoors but strongly territorial and vocal when guarding. Deeply loyal, independent, aloof with strangers, and best suited to 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.
