A few photos Photos

Of my favourite breed and hopefully the breed I will own in the future. None of the dogs are mine, nor do I own the pictures, if you click the picture it will take you through to the original link, if there is no link I will give the name of where I took the photo from, all credit goes to the owners of the photos

Beautiful elegant dogs. Strangely enough I have just been reading about these:

"Sighthound Fascination the Caravan Hound of India" ​

​

​

It mentions in the article that they resemble the Azawakhs.

Ah , yes I do like the Caravan Hounds too, but the Aza are my favourite by far.

Thank you @Janet

That was an interesting read, and great pictures.Thanks for posting the article.

Believe it or not that article had come through just five minutes before I read Katie's OP!

I like them but I would want to feed them up, so they be no good for me to own

Spooky!

I know people who free feed their Aza's and they still look very thin and ribby

There's a Saluki that in my Sensible dog walking club, absolutely beautiful but I hate seeing his ribs I know they are suppose to be showing but I am so tempted to give him some food & I know its so wrong.

Likelihood is that more food isn't going to help at all. I love the ribs myself lol

No been told by his owner that he's not starving & he's healthy, I am just use to having Rottweiler's, GSD's, Doberman's & now my JRT's where there are no ribs showing.

Same here Tina! I much prefer a more "substantial" breed like my Pei. Georgie isn't overweight, she just feels reassuringly solid when we cuddle up together!

See I am the opposite, I love the long slender backs and hip bones. Looking at other breeds now, especially the mastiffs, they all look like 'tables' lol

I'm the same as you Katie. I think there is no shape more elegant than that of the running dogs. Very rarely, I've seen an overweight whippet and they look awful.

I wonder if anyone ever thought I was starving Gertie!

Pepe the standard poodle is very lean. Bogie the cocker is of a naturally stocky build, and if I tried to get him lean I would have to really underfeed him which obviously I have no intention of doing! Both have good appetites. I am determined that little Chico, the Chihuahua puppy, will be lean - a fat Chihuahua looks grotesque!

I have seen an overweight Greyhound and felt really sorry for the thing

Have a look at this little Chi, 8lb Chi pulling 1538lbs

This chi makes me laugh too

Well it makes a change from seeing them carried about in handbags I suppose!
Chico has amazed us by dragging along things we would have thought were far too heavy for him. They are a very underestimated breed!

@Azz I wish I could say next week. As much as I love the Pharaohs I would much rather have an Azawakh, once I am ready to get a dog I will have to get in contact with some breeders and look into how much importing will cost
