Sloughi, a breed with style and elegance.

There are only about 40-45 individuals i Sweden, so sloughi is not a big breed and one might need waiting for a puppy. But they are well worth waiting for:  
Sloughi is a wonderful sighthound that moves around your home with dignity.
He is a bit reserved and quite proud, it is not at all certain that he feels it to be necessary greeting your casual visitors.
He is as loyal to you, as he is nonchalant to others.
That is until the visitors are not casual any more, but seen as dear friends

As such, they are received with a tail rotated in a wide circle instead of the awaiting swaying tail. However, without being blunt or pushing, he approaches you with tenderness. The visitor, who may have been doubtful at first, will now be very devoted!

Sloughi is quite an all round breed. He goes along with most of your ideas of activating.

Agility, tracking and obedience are only a few examples. Dogs from kennel Tillieville pulls cart and run races on the racetrack, not even the mental description meant for the Working dogs are unfamiliar to them! Many are those who think lure coursing is but the funniest, so if you get the chance to try that, grab it! A Sloughi, allowed to run free from time to time is just as happy in the sofa in front of the fireplace a chilly day. Indoors they cuddle up among the pillows.

A sloughi is not hard to handle when he trusts you and knows you well.

He is devoted and fair. He has a distinct language, with his ears and tail, for every dog to read and understand. They are also very talkative for analphabetic ones, like us humans, with different noises and play of features, especially those with a black mask. We who live with them are familiar to what those eyes mean even if the dog does not make a sound…

They are also very fond of physical contact, to lie close to you or on your lap. Two of my bitches cuddle by pressing the side of their heads to mine. They prefer my bed before any pet bed, and want their part of my blanket as well!
