The Azawakh, also known as the Idi, Hanshee, Oska, Rawondu, Bareeru, or Wulo, is a striking and elegant sighthound that originates from West Africa, particularly the Sahel region. Traditionally bred by nomadic tribes such as the Tuareg for hunting and guarding, the Azawakh is known for its speed, endurance, and loyalty. Tall, slender, and graceful, this breed was developed to hunt both small and large game across vast desert landscapes. Despite their lean build, Azawakhs are powerful and incredibly athletic. They form deep emotional bonds with their owners, showing affection and devotion while remaining reserved or cautious around strangers. With their alert and proud nature, they make excellent watchdogs and loyal companions for experienced dog owners. The Azawakh’s combination of elegance, energy, and intelligence makes them truly unique among sighthounds.
