Sloughi Breed description: Character & Co

The typical character traits of the Sloughi

Like all sighthounds, the Sloughi is extremely intelligent, sensitive and cuddly. It belongs in equally gentle hands with a lot of dog sense and a strong sense for sports.

It must be able to run regularly in order to stay physically fit and healthy. There are hobby dog races for this even here in German-speaking countries. If it is well trained, it can of course also pursue its urge to move in the open field. Afterwards the dog is the dearest family dog and wants to be close to its humans.

Please only acquire such a dog if you really have a lot of time and desire to spend with it. It is usually very obedient, but does not tolerate a harsh command tone. You must lead this dog with sensitivity and intelligence.

• fine, sensitive and affectionate

Breeding, acquisition and keeping

The Sloughi breeding is something special. These dogs are rarely offered. The few breeders only give Sloughi puppies to select owners. If you are interested in a Sloughi, you should inquire at the German Sloughi Club or at the Austrian Shubah al warda kennel.
