The Galgo español breed (here: Spanish

Greyhound BLUE) shows a well-defined
cluster that is relatively close to that of the
Sloughis (green). The Podengo portugues
medio (red) scanned in do not play a role in
this graph. Following further statements by

MARS, it can be seen that the Sloughi is a
link between the Mediterranean breeds and
Galgos epañoles on the one hand and the
Salukis on the other, which is quite
understandable due to the geographical
conditions. There is also a certain relation
between the Galgos españoles and the

Greyhounds, but at a much greater distance. However, the Salukis (yellow, red) are
clearly distinguished in the breed-specific
description from the Sloughis (green) and
Azawakhs (blue). The green marked
Sloughi SL11 comes from French breeding

and is apparently a cross between
Azawakh and Sloughi.
