Last but not least, let is not be said that top Sloughi Athletes have shorter lives due to their
intense participation in Sighthound sports. Basana and Urika lived very long lives. This photo
shows left Urika Min al Bait Said at age 16 ¼ years, and right Basana at age 15 ½, May 1999. ©

Note:

*NVOW: Netherlands Club of Oriental
Sighthounds

* FCI: Fédération Cynologique Internationale

* “Werkdagen” is something specific for the
NVOW. On one day the dogs of our breeds, the
Oriental Sighthounds and the Mediterranean
breeds, compete on the race track in the morning
and the coursing field in the afternoon. Together
with the results of the club match a dog can earn

the title of “NVOW champion in beauty and
performance”.
