The African Wild Dog, similar to the Azawakh indigenous to
the West African region, is also a long legged dog, standing taller (30 inches or 76 cm.) at the shoulder, although other articles indicate they are about the same height as the Azawakh. It is also called the Cape Hunting Dog or the Painted Dog. Its distribution is shown in the map to the right; it prefers the savannahs or open woodlands and can be found in Burkina Faso, COO for the Azawakh. With a population of 4,000 in existence, both ESA and IUCN classify it as an endangered predator. Read more here or here.

Known in their countries of origin as the Aidi Kel Tamasheq, dogs from the clans of the Tamasheq speaking people. Also known as Aidi n'Ailluli, noble dogs of the free people, they are an ancient race of dogs. Indigenous to the Sahelian desert of West Africa, they are primarily camp guards for the Tuaregs and secondarily hunters, and of course, they are prized as companions.

More About Me
If I speak my mind, I'm a bitch, or a control freak, or both. If I don't say anything, I'm passive aggressive. If I dress up, I'm conceited. If I cry, I'm a drama queen. If I have male friends, I'm a ho. If I'm gay, it's a sin. If I defend myself, I lack self esteem. If I'm skinny, I'm on drugs. Since I'm smarter than you, I must be crazy. If you can't get used to me, then get lost.

This blog is also about the preservation of our right to breed animals without governmental intervention.
John Garcia & Grando
"We dog owners have buried our heads in the sand. We are the silent majority of America and our silence has furthered the interests of the tiny minority of animal rights fanatics. In every poll on dog ownership issues, we outnumber animal rights extremists five to one, yet our voices are not being heard. If we don’t stand up together and fight back now, all will be lost. In unity is strength. Divided, we lose. We either hang together or we're finished. Get it?"
Grando & Jim Dobbs
It is also about the preservation of an exquisitely beautiful animal, the idi of Sahel, likely to become extinct without some effort on our part.
Known outside Africa as the Azawakh (perhaps even misnamed?), a limited number are being bred. Some are even shown in Europe, and somewhat in the United States.
What I want to do is help, in a small way, preserve a wider base genepool of these incredible animals as they still exist in the Sahelian desert. Perhaps the distinction is semantics, perhaps not, but in my eyes, there appears to be a chasm between what it has become in Europe, and what it is originally.
Biting controversy in the butt regards, as always, yours truly....

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.
