Meet the breeder
I'm Aliya T., the breeder behind Kel Imajaghan located in Philadelphia, PA. In many parts of the world this primitive is categorized as a sighthound, but a rigid interpretation of or strict reliance upon this appellation can lead to confusion and miscommunication. Many of the sighthound type dogs are aloof. But the Azawakh takes it a step further: they are avoidant. They are also highly territorial. Fiercely loyal, they form an exclusive attachment with their master; with strangers, or in unfamiliar situations, they can be extremely reserved, even unapproachable. As with any generalization there are exceptions, but no amount of training or socialization can completely over-ride the primordial distrust and suspicion of 'other' which forms the basis for their reactions to stimuli. With their master and with those they trust, they are independent, playful and gentle. But in every situation they remain alert to the slightest change in their environment.Please contact us for more information. This breed requires experienced dog home generally not for the first time dog owner.As with all our puppies you will get lifetime breeder support.
Q. & A. with Aliya
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding Azawakh as a natural progression from showing this wonderful breed, that is indigenous to where my ancestors are from, West Africa. My goal is the preserve the Azawakh in its original form as it currently exists in West Africa, the countries of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.What makes your program special?
My breeding program is special in the sense that I am working to keep the Azawakh and its heritage alive for others to enjoy. I do not believe in close line breeding/inbreeding. The COI(coefficient of inbreeding) on any of my puppies will always be under 10% for 7-10 generations. The close inbreeding of a breed with such a small gene pool is a recipe for increased heredity and genetic diseases.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown, sandy, fawn, brindle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Toumour is my first azawakh. He's a half desert bred dog, meaning that one of his parents was born in the native country of Mali.
