First of all, however, Johan Gallant will give us some important information about the dog
in Africa. These descriptions are important and interesting because significant parallels
can be found here with regard to hunting, but also with regard to the other
characteristics of the Sloughis and Azawakhs. For example, the dog is the guardian of the
tents and houses, protecting the herds and the companion related to man.
