A Quick Overview: Group: Hound Dogs Weight: 40 to 60 pounds Height: 24 to 29 inches tall at the shoulder Life Expectancy: 12 to 16 years The Sloughi should not be confused with the smooth Saluki of the Arabian peninsula and the Middle East, nor to be confused with the smooth Afghan Hound. The Sloughi is a medium-large, short-haired, smooth-coated, athletic sighthound developed by the Berbers and the Bedouins in North Africa (in the area including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya) to hunt game such as hare, fox, jackal, gazelle, and wild pigs. It is an ancient breed, treasured in North Africa for its hunting skills, speed, agility, and endurance over long distances. It is a robust, but elegant and racy, pursuit dog with no exaggeration of the length of body or limbs, muscle development, angulation, nor curve of the loin. The Sloughi is not a fragile dog but is also a dog with class and grace. The attitude is noble and somewhat aloof, and the expression of the dark eyes is gentle and melancholy This lean, leggy sighthound likes his comforts — especially soft bedding and, ideally, access to the furniture. Noble and haughty in demeanor, he's affectionate with his own people but aloof toward strangers. He gets along with older children who understand how to interact with dogs but isn't a good match for a family with young kids. Sloughis are sleek, clean, and quiet, but their stubborn hound nature can make them a poor choice for first-time dog owners. 👉 Website: https://www.dogswiz.com Follow us on other social media channels: 👉   / dogswiz   👉   / dogswiz   👉   / dogs.wiz   👉   / dogswiz   👉 Copyright Disclaimer: We respect the copyright interests of all the individual owners in the video and don't claim to own the original clips.
