Where to Buy a Azawakh

Reputable breeders: Look for breeders who health-test for Hypothyroidism and other breed-specific conditions

Red flags include sellers who cannot provide health clearances for Hypothyroidism and Seizures, won't let you visit, request wire transfers or gift cards, or have multiple breeds available. Always meet the puppy and at least one parent in person before purchasing.
