FOREWORD
BY M.-DOMINIQUE CRAPON DE CAPRONA - USA
Welcome to the seventh issue of Sloughi
Review which presents three different
contributions.
The first honors the Sloughis that have
been inducted since 2003 in the
American Sighthound Field Association’s
Hall of Fame. These Sloughis had set
milestones for the breed in the field of
lure coursing in the USA as early as 1996.
They were together with other Sloughis
instrumental in getting their breed
recognized in American lure coursing at a
time the breed was not recognized by the
American Kennel Club, and they should
not be forgotten.

The second is clarifying aspects of the
Sloughi conformation and temperament
for American judges, many of which have
never judged a Sloughi and in some
cases have been given wrong
information or have had bad experience
with Sloughis in the show ring.
Finally, Thomas Liedtke addresses the
linguistical confusion between the
words "Sloughi" and "Saluki", the
resulting confusion between the 2
breeds, and sets it in historical context.
A well-researched and very valuable
contribution regarding what a Sloughi is
and what a Sloughi is not, and a
suggestion as to how it should best be
named.
Wishing all good reading.
