Azawakh Breeders, QLD

Our kennel was established in 1986 with my other breed passion, Salukis.Home to Australia's first Azawakh and first Australian litter of 6,2 males and 4 females. Our dogs have been researched and sourced from noted breeders, combining some of the best desert and European bloodlines, taking us 13 years to achieve. Conformation,type,health and temperament are crucial. Our dogs live,eat and sleep inside with us, and have the run of the house and use of the furniture. This primitive breed is not just for anyone but needs a special person to appreciate the unique qualities and different mindset that is the Azawakh. Coming from such a vast, desolate,unforgiving area of north west Africa, this breed is tough,strong and extremely hardy. They are bred to firstly guard, herd and hunt and rely on no one for survival, but co habit with their Tuareg masters and have done so for thousands of years, unchanged. We aim to breed when we want to replace a dog, not for the market, so puppies may be a wait. Our aim is to maintain type, soundness, temperament and quality rather than quantity, keeping the inbreeding factor to under 5% in 10 generations for as long as possible. Enquiries are most welcome about the breed, including possible plans for any upcoming breeding/litters.

The Azawakh is an ancient rare and unique breed from West Africa, to be specific, the Sahelian desert area. The nomadic people that live with this breed view them as a guardian, hunter and status symbol. Having been forged over millennia by a harsh desert environment and the selective hand of man, they are possessed of unique physical, mental and aesthetic qualities. In Sahelian culture an Azawakh is prized for “djikku”-intensity of character, which is considered a sign of nobility. Our aim is to breed Azawakh, preserving the unique qualities and original function of the breed. Soundness is essential and with a lifetime of knowledge in breeding horses for competition we understand that correct structure is essential so our hounds can perform well in the show ring and lure coursing and any other chosen field of sport. Our dogs have excellent health passing health checks and all being tested for DCM and thyroid issues before breeding, with sound temperaments, that are trainable and bold. Living on a rural property means all our hounds have grown up on the farm proving themselves to be a versatile, extremely athletic to being sensible around livestock in particular our horses. All our hounds are well-socialised and live as part of the family and participate in many of our daily activities. Our dogs are successful in the show ring and lure coursing field proving their versatility.
