Described as elegant and reserved, the sloughi (pronounced SLOO-ghee) is a sighthound that originated in the North African desert. They were bred to hunt a variety of prey including hare, fox, jackal, gazelle, and wild pigs. They are known for being aloof with strangers but gentle to their families. They can make good family dogs, but may not do well with very young children.
They are a very active breed with high exercise requirements. If you lead a very active lifestyle, you just might be able to keep up with these incredibly athletic dogs. Combined with their stubbornness that makes them hard to train, they don't typically make a great dog for first-time dog owners.
Their coats are sleek and short and requires very little maintenance. They don't shed much and don't typically drool a lot. They weigh approximately 50 lbs. on average and stand around 24-29 inches tall.
