The Azawakh is an interesting-looking breed. They have the appearance of grace and swiftness in combination with a disproportionate body, head and legs. Their chests are very deep, but the stomach area is very small in proportion, and the hindquarters are higher than the shoulders. The breed is very tall and thin, with the skeletal structure obvious. They will almost always have white on them somewhere, as was the custom to kill them in their native country in previous years if they did not have such markings. They have very short fur, almost none on the belly, and the tail hangs down and makes a small curl at the end. Used for protection and hunting in Mali, the Azawakh was strictly kept in order to preserve certain aspects in the breed. The Azawakh is affectionate and gentle to the people it knows, and it can be playful with its owners. They are, however, wary with strangers and sometimes even aggressive. They are very protective and alert, and if they become aware of a danger they will gather with their pack and chase the threat away. They are a light footed guard and watch dog, being intelligent and discerning of strangers.
