History

The Azawakh (Tuareg Sloughi), It is a breed of dog of the type "Short-haired sighthounds", native to africa. It is also known by other names: Hanshee, Oska, Rawondu, Bareeru, Wulo, Tuareg Sloughi.

This breed could be defined as a Sighthound African Afroasiatic model which appeared in Europe in the year 1970, from the middle basin of the Niger (Mali) and in particular of the Valley of the Azawakh. For centuries it has been the inseparable companion of sub-Saharan nomads.

Something curious is that the Azawakh possesses a rare allele of glucose isomerase (GPIB) It is produced only in foxes, jackals, Italian wolves, dogs Sloughi and other rare breed dogs not related to him Azawakh, and they are, mainly, in Japan.

Recent scientific studies of a genetic protein and the blood of Azawakh, added to archaeological studies and direct observation of packs, have thrown some ideas about the origin of the breed Azawakh contemporary. One of them says that, come from the stray dog โ€‹โ€‹population of sub-Saharan Africa, and, also among her ancestors is the Basenji and the Sloughi from the Maghreb. Despite the morphological similarities, mitochondrial DNA tests show that only very distantly, is related to other dogs.

As a whole, this evidence suggests that the dog population Azawakh count with one unique gene pool What, It has been kept pure, perhaps by having been largely isolated from the populations of other dog breeds, for thousands of years.

Physical characteristics

Its morphology is very similar to that of the Middle Eastern greyhound and some Indian hounds., Although there are several obvious differences. As for example, a very short and smooth mantle, nearly absent in the womb; and hind legs longer than the height with the front to the cross. Moves with a walk, clearly, feline and can be found in a wide variety of colors, in degraded, striped, Although the format is, basically, a solid color.

The Azawakh, is a slim dog, elegant and his eyes the color of almonds, give fair air of sweetness to your eyes.
The standard rules, they require a dog from 15 to 25 kg, and with a height of 61 to 74 cm.. Her bone structure is, clearly, through the skin and like your muscles. His muscles are usually said, they are "dry", which means that they are very flat, Unlike in the Greyhound and the Whippet (they have showy, rounded muscle). In this sense (muscle), is more similar to the Saluki.

"Azawakh (Tuareg Sloughi)"

In Africa, a variety of colors are found in dogs Azawakh, How to be red, beige, blue, grey, and, black and blue rarely. As well, White machitas can be found in different colours (not many). Due to this color variation in the entire native population of Azawakh, the American standard used by the AKC and UKC allows for any combination of the colors found in Africa.

In United States, the standard of FCI It has been modified to have no restrictions on color. The colors allowed in the breed standard according to the FCI, These are sand or light to dark beige; brown, Red and striped (with or without, dark mask), with pechera whitetip, the tail and white on the legs (It can be on the tip of the toes or middle high). In the news, white stockings that go above the elbow joint is considered a disqualifying characteristic in France, as well as a white or half collar collar (the strong Irish).

The Azawakh It is a very good dog for hunting. They are very agile, and despite pretend fragility, they are very hardy dogs and are usually very fast curing injuries caused by their vigorous careers.

Similar to the Tibetan Mastiff (Do-Khy) and the Basenji, the dog Azawakh usually a zeal to the year. Y, so the puppies born healthy, the norm says that the animal should not be assisted in childbirth. The size of the litters tend to be of 4 to 6 Puppies, but it can have litters as small as a puppy and as large as eight.

Character and skills

The Azawakh, you need a fairly high level of exercise and be able to do regular runs in large indoor enclosures to expend energyโ€ฆ They often dig holes in the garden, if you feel bored or overflowing with energy.

They are excellent training companions for runners and they are nearly impervious to heat. They withstand very high temperatures (typical of desert areas), temperatures that would kill any other greyhound...

The Azawakh that live in packs live and orient themselves in social forms of complex hierarchies. They have tremendous memories and are able to recognize each other after long periods of separation.. They are often found sleeping snuggled up to each other for warmth and company..

the Azawakh is lively, attentive, reserved and little sociable with strangers, with whom you can be aggressive if it feels threatened its integrity or that of his master. He is very affectionate with those to what he considers his friends. They need a master which will give them a firm but fair leadership education.

Unlike other Sighthounds, the main function of the Azawakh in his homeland is that of Protector and guardian of cattle (and people). They tend to develop an intense bond with their owner., Although they are very independent dog, Although very attached to their masters for all corporate.

Education

The Azawakhs they are proud and independent. They respond well to positive reinforcement techniques, But heavy-handed methods or punishments will make them shut down, resist or even be aggressive. But, with the right teacher who gives them the right motivation, learn quickly and easily.

Health

The Azawakh it is a resistant dog that does not have a special predisposition to certain diseases.

But, due to its short coat and extreme thinness, not the best choice for people who live in humid or cold climates. In general, covering him with a dog coat or fleece can help maintain his body temperature when he is out in winter. Inside, you need a padded pad to rest your bony body.

Food

In Africa, the Azawakh share his masters' ration and get his share of the hunt after the hunt.

Historically, have been used to a low-protein, rice-based diet, millet and goat's milk. Thus, you are prone to digestive problems if you eat a large amount of protein-rich foods, as with many dog รขโ‚ฌโ€นรขโ‚ฌโ€นfoods.

The breeders of Azawakh recommend a diet with a 9% fat and a 22% protein. They also recommend 3-4 small meals a day, since the dog becomes gluttonous if he only eats once a day.

It also, this dog appreciates occasional servings of starchy food, like pasta and brown rice, as well as fruit and vegetables (bananas, carrots, etc.).

Last, critics who point to his thinness as a sign of malnutrition must understand that this dog is built for speed and cannot be fat. Standards call for thin skin stretched over a bony, muscular frame.

    The fur can be blue or silver, with stains of fire (or bronze) on the limbs and snout, or color sand clear or Griffon.

    Puppies are born black solid color and change color in three months.

    Observations

    It is a very robust breed of dog, that often has a high percentage of Diabetes Mellitus.

    What is Diabetes Mellitus?

    Diabetes is defined as a disorder in the metabolism of the hydrates of carbon, fats and proteins caused by a deficiency of insulin, It can be absolute or relative.

    Insulin is a hormone secreted in the beta cells of the pancreas, whose production allows to control blood sugar (blood glucose levels). Insulin deficiency causes a deterioration in the capacity of tissues to use nutrients, that translates into an increase of glucose in blood (Hyperglycemia).

    Diabetes is classified according to the disease in humans, that is to say, as type I and type II.

    The type I It is characterized by the destruction of beta cells, What determines the loss progressive and complete end of insulin secretion. Dogs suffering from Type I Diabetes Mellitus may have a sudden onset of symptoms due to the rapid loss of the ability to produce insulin.. These cases require insulinizaciรณn from the time of diagnosis and are called diabetics 1,811 (DMID).

    Other dogs may have a gradual loss of insulin secretion, that their beta cells will be destroyed with slow. These animals may have an initial period in which hyperglycemia is mild or easily controlled., in which case it's diabetic insulinoindependientes (DMIID), Although in the long term these dogs also need her.

    Diabetes Mellitus type II is a little more difficult to understand and is characterized by what we call "insulin resistance" and by "dysfunctional" beta cells. The secretion of insulin by these cells will be high, low or normal, but not enough to overcome the resistance to it in the peripheral tissues.

    Itร‚ยดs, to explain it in a graphic way, It is as if peripheral tissues do not obey the orders of the insulin or were not able to do what send it.

    Regarding the metabolism or synthesis of glucose, These dogs may have DMID or DMIID, that is to say, whether or not to require insulin depending on the extent of insulin resistance and the functional status of the beta cells in terms of their ability to produce and secrete the hormone in low amounts, normal or high.

    Dogs also recognizes a secondary diabetes, produced by a carbohydrate intolerance (glucose) due to the presence of a disease or a drug treatment that it antagonizes or counteracts the effects of insulin and can lead to the exhaustion of the beta cells of the pancreas with the appearance of diabetes insulinodependiente.

    The owners of diabetic dogs should be aware that the routine in the treatment with insulin and food has to be respected. Two fixed doses of insulin per day associated with a palatable food that always provides the same source and the same amount of starch, always run at the same time it can reduce the risk of hypoglycemia in diabetic dogs.

    In North America, area where the Australian Terrier is very popular, scientific research is being carried out on the incidence of this disease.

    Character and skills

    The breed standard describes the ideal Australian Terrier temperament as an alert spirit., ยซwith the natural aggressiveness of a Buzzard and a Hunter of coverageยซ.
