An ancient West African Sight Hound breed, Azawakhs are named for the valley of the same title. They are tall, regal, and fiercely loyal. While they were initially bred several thousand years ago to guard livestock in what today are the countries of Burkino Faso, Mali, and Niger, they quickly became valued for their pack-hunting tactics when hunting large predators or dangerous game animals. Their build is similar to Salukis and Rhodesian Ridgebacks, with a high waist, deeply belled chest, and long legs for running.
