American Sloughi Association

American Sloughi Association AKC National Parent Club for the Sloughi. Welcome to the American Sloughi Association's Official page.

We are a not for profit organization whose sole purpose is the protection and preservation of the Sloughi. The American Sloughi Association (ASLA), founded in 1989, is an association of Sloughi lovers worldwide devoted to the preservation and protection of the Sloughi, a rare breed of Arabian sighthound from the north African countries of Morocco, Tunisia, Libya and Algeria. An ancient breed, rich

in history and culture, the Sloughi is equally at home in nomadic tents as in the hunt, coursing jackals, gazelles and hares in its countries of origin. ASLA is the American Kennel Club (AKC) National Parent Club for the Sloughi.

Did you know? The first AKC Hound Group placing Sloughi was GCH Ocerico Dahi.

Although Sloughis are hunting hounds with very high prey drive, many Sloughis live harmoniously in families with cats and other small pets, provided that they are properly introduced to them and appropriately socialized with them.

We are so happy to see the Sloughi featured as the Breed of the Day. The correct weight range for the ๐™Ž๐™ก๐™ค๐™ช๐™œ๐™๐™ž ๐™ž๐™จ ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ข๐™–๐™ก๐™ก๐™ฎ 40-70๐™ก๐™—๐™จ. Although this is a coursing hound with high prey drive, many Sloughis do well in households with small pets, such as cats and birds. It's all a matter of socialization!

Thank you, American Kennel Club, for featuring the Sloughi today!
