Frequently Asked Questions

Azawakhs can make good guard dogs because they are inherently defensive. They form diligent watchdogs because of their keen senses and devotion to their families.
What are some effective training methods for the Azawakh breed, and can they participate in obedience training?
Azawakhs are skilled at obedience training. They are intelligent and eager to please, so positive reinforcement strategies like praise and rewards are effective.
Do Azawakhs get along with other pets?
Azawakhs can get along with other dogs, especially if they are socialized from a young age. However, they have a high prey drive and may not be suitable for homes with small pets like cats or rabbits.
