Heaven knows I don't need another breed- but there is one breed which I love that can no longer be found here-


That breed is the wonderful Sloughi - a very pretty unique breed (And the name is fun to say)


I would love to have it added 


 


Info:


he Sloughi is a medium-sized, smooth-coated, athletic sighthound, that is both robust as well as elegant and racy.  An ancient breed, it is treasured in North Africa for its hunting skills, speed, agility, and endurance over long distances. The breed is noble and somewhat aloof, with a gentle, melancholy expression. This "Arabian Greyhound's" short coat comes in all shades of light sand (cream) to mahogany red, with or without brindling, black masking or mantling.  


The Sloughi is originally the Sighthound of the Berber and Bedouin people. Its exact origins date too far back to be completely known and remain speculative. Representations of African Sighthound-like dogs date back to the 8th-7th millennium BC, and Ancient Egypt's artifacts tell us how valuable straight-eared and lop-eared smooth Sighthounds were in those days. The lop-eared smooth Egyptian Sighthound originated possibly from Asia but was also part of tributes to the Pharaohs from Nubia (South of Egypt).
