(Slougui, Arabian Greyhound, Arabischer Windhund, Sloughi Moghrebi, Arabian Sighthound, Lévrier Marocain)The Sloughi is an interesting looking breed with a small round head and long small muzzle.
The Borzoi originated in 17th-century Russia, when Arabian greyhounds were crossed with a thick-coated, Russian breed.
The Borzoi was known until 1936 as the Russian Wolfhound.
In 1650, the first Borzoi standard was written.
The Sloughi, or Arabian Greyhound, can come in the variety of mountain type or desert type. The desert type Sloughi is smaller than the mountain type, and more lightly built.
] In fact, there is reason to believe that the Arabian Greyhound may well have resembled a Saluki -- but for all, still a dog of the Greyhound family. There are many differing explanations for the origin of the term Greyhound.
