I heard on news radio that the AKC is recognizing a new breed, a dog from Africa- Azawo? (sp- I probably got it wrong) The reporter described the dog as having a short coat and long legs. They served as guardians to nomadic people of that part of Africa. They are good at running and also very smart. I thought they sound a little like greyhounds from what the reporter said. Only six weeks or so till the Westminster dog show!
