Summary
About Xoloitzcuintle
Ancient Mexican breed linked to Aztec culture, the Xoloitzcuintle is a hairless or short‑coated dog in three sizes. Calm, loyal, and watchful, it bonds closely with family and excels as a gentle companion and alert watchdog, needing skin care, socialization, and moderate exercise.
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.
