Azawakh Idi

One minute it's winter, the next minute it's desert summer. The Azawakh is designed to be self cooling. Next. See all.

How do these 3 dogs illustrate the "self cooling" trait? The first one is lying on a wet patch, the 2nd one is lying in a shade patch - both external cooling agents. Only the 3rd dog is "self cooling" - she flipped her ear back to vent it. lololol.

Iferouâne

Iferouâne Idiiyat-es-Sahel is the birth name of my taidit. In Tamasheq it means wings.

She is named after Iferouâne, an oasis town in northern Niger, West Africa, about 1,000 km (620 miles) north of the Niger capital, Niamey. Just northwest of Arlit, capital of the Arlit Department in the Agadez Region, Iferouâne is located in the Ighazar Valley of the Sahelian belt, near the Tamgak Range. It is the gateway to the spectacular volcanic Aïr Massif mountains, which rises 2,000 meters from the desert floor.
