INTRODUCTION

The Sloughi is a dog breed for an individual or family that is affectionate with its own kind but aloof with strangers. Like many hounds, their stubborn nature can make them too demanding for first-time dog parents. Although they are purebred dogs, you may find them in the care of shelters or rescue groups. Remember to adopt. Sloughis have high energy levels and need plenty of exercise to keep them happy and healthy. Couch dogs, move on to a breed that moves at their speed, because this puppy will leave them in the lurch if they can’t handle the physical activity. But for a pet parent who can keep up, this dog will be a loving companion for life.

MORE ABOUT THIS BREED

This slender, long-legged sighthound likes comfort, especially soft bedding and, if possible, access to furniture. Noble and haughty in demeanor, he is affectionate with his own kind but aloof with strangers. He gets along well with older children who understand how to interact with dogs, but is not a good match for a family with young children. Sloughis are elegant, clean and calm, but their stubborn hound nature can make them a poor choice for first-time dog owners.
