The Magnificent Azawakh
Pronounced oz-a-wok, the combination of their intelligence, exotic appearance, stunning movement, and extreme loyalty set them apart from other breeds.
Ancient Origins
Although the breed was recently confirmed by the AKC in 2019, Azawakhs were bred by the nomadic Tuareg, Peulh, Bella, and Hausa people in the deserts of Sub-Saharan Africa in the Azawagh Valley region.
