Azawakh Breed Description The Azawakh is a sight hound dog breed from Africa. Rangy, leggy, lean, rugged, and elegant, the Azawakh is extremely high-stationed, taller than it is long. Its back length should be 90 percent of its leg length to withers (shoulder blades). It has a deep chest, which should not go below the elbows, and a high tuck/waist. The breed natively weighs from 33 to 55 pounds (15-25 kg); its height is 24 to 29 inches (60-74 cm). It manages to balance a close bond with its owner with a strong, almost feline independence. They are attentive yet aloof. With those they accept, Azawakhs are gentle and affectionate. With strangers they are reserved and prefer not to be touched, but are not aggressive. Although raised to protect livestock, they have do not have native aggression toward canine nor human unless they perceive them as a threat. Azawakhs have the unique ability to recognize other Azawakhs on sight, and bond naturally with members of their own breed. [Much more on this breed can be learned at the wonderful Wikipedia.]
