| Azawakh |
The Azawakh is an elegant
lean yet muscular dog that belongs to the hound dog breed. Its name was derived
from the Azawakh Valley in the Sahara desert because that’s where you would
find them. Their breed location however makes them quite adaptable to both
tropical and temperate weathers. However, because of their lean and low fat
figure, they require some form of body protection in very cold weather. But
for, the different hair colours in which they come, most people would likely
mistaken them for a different breed of Doberman. The Azawakh was mainly used as
hunter and guardian companions to people in the Sahara region.
Like Dobermans, they are
protective of, loyal and friendly to their owners but can be very suspicious of
strangers especially when touched by them. Due to their hunting
characteristics, they have a very sharp sight which makes them very sensitive
towards moving objects but they make awesome jogging or hunting partners.
Therefore, they are likely to chase other wandering animals or maybe a passing
bike. They can be challenging when it comes to being trained. By the way, go
here The Online Dog Trainer if you want to know
how to train the most stubborn dog breed in the world. And you can do all this
online from the comfort of your home at very little cost. Sorry for the
digression, back to the subject.
If you like this breed of
dog, then you should be ready to own a large fenced compound where it can have
at least some thirty minutes run-around exercise daily. Their short hair makes
grooming quite easy but you are advised to choose shampoos with care since they
have quite a sensitive skin.
All in all, this is a breed
of dog you would love because of its protective and loyalty nature.
