Jaaram Nubia, 1986 © McGuffin

This trophy was donated in memory of Jack’s lovely red brindle Sloughia, Jaaram
Nubia.

“Nubia was one of a litter of twelve, sired by the handsome Dutch-bred, Farhan of

Mumtaz-I-Javanadmi out of the French-bred bitch, Tounsia Kahloul de la Treille. Nubia
became somewhat of a ‘poster girl’ for the breed when she became the first Sloughi to
participate in the premiere Rare Breed Exhibition of the Kennel Club of Beverly Hills in

1987. She was of course nearly always the sole exhibit for the breed in matches and shows
in those early days, but did gather her share of Group wins at the limited number of
events available to her. But the show ring was not Nubia’s passion. Her delight was out
in the open desert of the Mojave, hunting with her pack mates. She loved nothing more
than to go for an early morning expedition with some of her buddies, working the desert

in her effortless, light-footed trot, back and forth out in front of her master, until she
might have her desires met by kicking up a strong desert jack to chase.”
