I know I've said it before, but Tadaksahak and Mahdjoub are just so beautiful. They both seem particularly taller than they are long, while a lot of other Azawakh I've seen from other breeds seem more square or even longer than tall.

Hi Marcus,

The archetypal Azawakh is taller than its body length. Some call it a "standing rectangle". It's fairly unique to this particular breed and is an adaptation to the blinding heat of the Sahel and South Sahara. Most of Daoud's dogs have long legs and short backs. Batna is a particularly good example.

Cheers.
