Sloughi

Good to know

• North African sighthound: bred to course game such as hare and gazelle across rough desert terrain, they have a high prey drive, so take care off leash.
• Quiet at home, fast outdoors: calm and mannerly indoors, they still need plenty of exercise, ideally chances to run flat out in a safely enclosed area.
• Reserved and sensitive: loyal and gentle with family but aloof with strangers and careful about personal space, they don't respond well to harsh training.
• Minimal grooming: the short, fine coat needs only a weekly brush with a soft brush or hound glove.
