The Azawakh is a sighthound breed that originated from West Africa and is known for its elegant, lean build and exceptional speed. A highly protective and loyal dog, the Azawakh will form a strong bond with its family, making it an excellent family pet. However, its protective instincts mean that it can be wary with strangers and may require early socialization to avoid potentially overprotective behaviors. Their high energy and athleticism call for regular, stimulating exercise, so a household that loves outdoor activities would be ideal. Finally, this breed shed minimally and is fairly low-maintenance. Azawakhs are ideal for owners looking for an agile, independent, and distinctive pet.

Your canine family members are very much welcome in South Dakota, one of the United States’ most pet-friendly states. From the outdoor experience of the Braeburn Addition Off-leash Dog Area in Rapid City to the Miner Brewing Co. in Hill City, there’s something to please the tastes of any dog! Truly unique attractions, including Hartford’s 1880 Cowboy Town, allow dogs to accompany their owners on-leash to participate and learn about the history and culture of South Dakota. In addition, dozens of dog parks cater to small and big dogs alike who want to let loose and sniff a few bottoms in the afternoons.
