Sloughi

The Sloughi is an ancient sighthound of North Africa, revered for millennia by Berber and Bedouin peoples of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya as an elite hunting dog prized for its speed, endurance, and ability to course gazelle and hare across desert terrain. Lean and muscular beneath a smooth, fine coat, the breed presents a distinctly aristocratic appearance with its refined head, dark, melancholy eyes, and elegant, deep-chested build. The Sloughi tends to be reserved and sensitive, forming deep bonds with its family while remaining aloof toward strangers, requiring gentle, patient handling to develop its full potential.
