Dogs - Azawakh Breed
 Azawakh
The Azawakh is a sight hound dog breed from Africa.
Appearance
The Azawakh is a very, very tall-standing dog. It's really taller than it
is long. Azawakhs weigh from 33 to 55 pounds (15-25 kg); and have a height
of 24 to 29 inches (60-74 cm). The coat is very short and almost absent on
the belly. Colours permitted by the FCI breed standard (quite
pretentious!) are clear sand to dark fawn (with or without a dark mask),
with white bib, tail tip, and stockings; many other colours occur in
Africa.
The Azawakh’s light, supple, elastic gait
is a notable breed characteristic.
Temperament
Attentive, distant, reserved to hostile with strangers, the Azawakh is
gentle and affectionate with people who it gets comfortable with.
History
Bred by the Tuareg nomads of the Sahara and sub-Saharan Sahel in the
countries of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, the breed is used there as a
guard dog and to hunt gazelle and hare at speeds up to 40 miles per hour.
(40 MILES PER HOUR!!!) Its bone structure shows clearly through the skin
and musculature.
So far, the Azawakh isn't really too popular in Europe and North America,
but hopefully, sites like yourdogzone.com can help with that!
