Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
A lean Saharan sprinter with a loyal, watchful heart
The Azawakh was bred by nomadic peoples of the Sahel to hunt and guard camps. It is a tall, lean sighthound, devoted to its family but reserved with strangers. It feels the cold easily and needs room to run safely.

This breed needs about 90 minutes of activity a day. Around 5 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Best-matched service
With a calm, consistent household it can be loving and devoted. It is reserved with strangers and needs gentle handling and early socialisation.
Not well. The thin coat and lean body mean it needs a warm coat outdoors in cold or wet weather and a warm place to sleep.
It is quiet indoors but needs regular chances to run flat out, so a home with easy access to secure fenced space suits it better than a flat.
