This noble dog of the desert originated in Ethiopia and
Egypt, where it's skill at hunting gazelles, hares and jackals and
wonderful temperament made it a revered member of desert tribes. Finding
it's way to north west Africa in the middle ages, the Sloughi has since
become popular throughout Europe and North America, and still inhabits
it's native homeland. The loyal, loving temperament of these dogs makes
them exceptional pets for responsible owners. They tend to be somewhat
reserved with strangers. These graceful and elegant dogs require plenty
of exercise and weekly brushing to be an integrated part of the family.
