11. Azawakh

The Azawakh, a slender Sahel sighthound, races on long fine limbs with desert bred endurance. Scarce in the West, it is alert with strangers and reserved yet loyal within the home. Melancholy eyes match its quiet poise. Short sleek coats in fawn, sand, brindle, or white highlight the lean frame. Sensitive and proud, it responds best to gentle, steady handling and ample exercise.
