And so, it is! The history of this Sloughi, besides providing a lot of information about
the state of the breed in those days, also indicates that these dogs were not always
understood.

The oriental character, even today, is something that as an owner you do have to know
how to deal with. But once you do, and the “click” is there, it really is a very special
breed!

Also, our other breeds, the Afghan Hound, and the Saluki (and later the Azawakh), have
such a special temperament and providing information about them was one of the
important reasons to establish the NVOW, the breed club in the Netherlands*.

*Editor’s note: “Nederlandse Vereniging voor Oosterse Windhonden”, now “Nederlandse
Vereniging voor Afghaanse Windhonden en andere windhondenrassen”. It kept the same
initials NVOW.
