        Gisela Bergmann writes in a letter to
        Dominique de Caprona:


        “… Ramla's father is STAK, a red brindle

        male, registered in the Algerian Sloughi
        register, who belonged to a marabout in the                      Ramla 1999, USA © de Caprona
        mountains north of Relizane. In this very

        inaccessible mountain area, due to the
        migration of the nomads from the south and
        due to the large jackal population, there are
        still relatively large numbers of excellent
        Sloughis, whose task is still to protect the

        herds from jackals; keeping Algerian
        Sloughis is not a hobby for the nomads, in
        whose selection only aesthetic and romantic

        criteria play a role as in European culture,
        they are tough, reliable and intelligent
        employees of their human family."                      Center Ramla with Zina and puppies, far left puppy is
