The '''Azawakh''' is a [[breed of dog]] from [[West Africa]]. With ancient origins, it is raised throughout the [[Sahel|Sahelian zone]] of [[Mali]], [[Niger]], and [[Burkina Faso]].  This region includes the [[Iullemmeden Basin|Azawagh Valley]] for which the breed is named. While commonly associated with the nomadic [[Tuareg people]], the dogs are also bred and owned by other [[List of ethnic groups of Africa|ethnic groups]], such as the [[Fula people|Peulh]], [[Ikelan|Bella]], and [[Hausa people|Hausa]]. The Azawakh is more related to the [[Sloughi]] than it is to the [[Saluki]].<ref name=caprona>{{cite web|last=Crapon de Caprona|first=Dr. Dominique|title=Sloughi, Saluki, Saluqi… Genetic Data Help Separate Semantics From Evidence|url=http://sloughi.tripod.com/SFAA/MitochondrialDNA.html|work=Dogs in Review|publisher=Sloughi Fanciers Association|access-date=7 January 2011|author2=Fritzsch, Dr. Bernd }}</ref>{{unreliable source?|reason=Author did her own analysis|date=April 2019}}
