sloughi

[Guest reload]

Hi I don't know where paid gets his information from regarding the Greyhound,

 

Google :whistle:

 

I have Seen, not work (unfortunatley) many sloughis, azawakhs, and even a fair few of there russian cousins(not Borzois) which are very similar also. They are beautiful dogs and a eye catching hound

A name is a name, but these dogs from the east are sure very much of the same stamp and temperment.

Just out of intrest, did anyone read this link?

It does get very interessting towards the end.

 

Of course some of my reading comes from google, why not use

it as a source of reasearch? but I also worked for a

Middle Eastern royal family for 5 years, a Qatar diplomat

for 3 years and spent 1 year in morrocco, which is why these

breeds have always interested me.

 

As to saying other dogs have been used in recent breeding, I

was reffering to my time in morrocco, and the sloughi, not the middle east, though

of course not all kennels would do this, as is provern by the dna

evidence that suggests the sloughi is an ancient breed with its

roots firmly in africa.

 

well worth a read if you have the time.

armchair hunter well i no your not that I was in the middle of adding to it that post as people can take things the wrong way, when my computer seized up again :realmad: .

 

Mush, I don't know where paid gets his information from regarding the Greyhound, but the Bedu I know, who range from western Arabia to northern Arabia, Jordan, Iraq & Kuwait have probably never seen a Greyhound, let alone introduced it's blood into their Saluki's, which, because of the terrain and climate, would be a backward step anyway.

Cheers.

Its well known to happen, I also have a video showing a litter bred of a greyhound, but i think they've found as you say its a backward step as they don't suit the way they run their dogs , terrain , heat est

Yes i read this years ago, when it comes off some one who is trying to establish a new bred, clubs and showing for it, you have to take things with a pinch of salt. if any of it is right, its off so few dogs that it means nothing. But there is a study being done that includes hundreds of desert bred coursing dogs from all over as well as sight-hounds in the US and Europe, which includes other types of dog so we will see what that comes up with.

Dominique crampon de caprona and Bernd fritzsch arent breeders mate.

 

Look forward to this other test being published, or is it just a part of the entire dog mapping prodject being run currently?

any 1 on here use this cross, or seen 1 work ? seen 1 few years ago but never seen it work, was wondering why this cross isnt more popular as they have similar qualitys as the saluki ?

 

“In 1907 the first sloughis arrived in England but were not yet differentiated racially from their cousins, the salukis, a differentiation that is also foreign to many Arabs. But the FCI makes a clear distinction: salukis always have medium length to long fur, while sloughis always have short straight fur. The Swiss cynologist Hans Raber believes the differences among Arabic dog races are ‘very fluid.’For example, there are breeding families that contain dogs with longer fur as well as dogs with short, straight fur. The azawakh, who used to be thought of as a perversion of the sloughi, is now also listed as an independent race.â€
