The Sloughi is classified by The Royal Kennel Club as a large breed, typically weighing 20–27 kg as an adult. Native to the Maghreb region of North Africa, the Sloughi shares much of its history and function with the Saluki, bred by nomadic tribes to course gazelle and hare across desert terrain, and is known for its reserved, dignified temperament.
What this means for your Sloughi
The breed is generally considered hardy with relatively few hereditary conditions, though as a lean sighthound it can be sensitive to anaesthesia and cold weather, and its thin coat offers little natural insulation.
A well-fitted coat for cold or wet weather can help this thin-coated breed stay comfortable, especially as they age and become less tolerant of the cold.
When is a Sloughi considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, large breeds like the Sloughi are generally considered senior from around 5 dog years old.
