According to the standard, a Sloughi may only have a small white patch on its chest.
Fortunately the Sloughi is one of the breeds in whom this condition can be tested, with a small blood sample, and breeders are working to eliminate PRA from the gene pool.
A Sloughi is faithful to the owner and it needs the owner close by.
On old fragments of earthenware (about 3000 B.C.), a short-haired sighthound with lop ears was discovered that resembles a Sloughi.
Like all sighthounds, the Sloughi is very sensitive to anesthesia, and can be sensitive to vaccines, worming, and other medications—so these routine treatments should be spaced apart instead of given all at once.
Because the Sloughi is somewhat sensitive, its training should not be oppressive, and any punishment should be omitted.
