Summary
About Weimaraner
Large, athletic German gundog with a sleek silver-grey coat and amber eyes. Energetic, intelligent and strongly people-oriented “Velcro dog” needing 1.5–2 hours of daily exercise plus training. Versatile in dog sports; without stimulation may become noisy, destructive or escape-prone.
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.
