FOREWORD
BY M.-DOMINIQUE CRAPON DE CAPRONA - USA
A little while ago, Ullis Sundell mentioned
that it would be interesting to show case
country-of-origin Sloughis in the breeding
of Western Sloughis.
During the past 30 years, such Sloughis
have either been bred to in Africa or have
been imported to the Western world.
This issue is the result of many hours of
tracing back breeding to country-of-origin
Sloughis from 1993 to 2023 .
We have different chapters in the
magazine.
First, we present the country-of-origin
Sloughis that still have live descendants
today.
The countries are listed alphabetically and
within each country the Sloughis are listed
chronologically.
Then Sloughis born of a country-of-origin
sire to a country-of-origin dam in the
Western world that have live descendants
today follow.

We bring this topic to an end with new
country-of-origin imports and western
bred country-of-origin to country-of-
origin Sloughis that will hopefully be
integrated in future Western Sloughi
breeding.
Of course, the foundation of the breed in
the Western world is based for the most
part on country-of-origin Sloughis that go
back to the 1960s for the current breeding.
Sloughis were imported to France as early
as during King Charles IX of France’s reign
(1560-1574) and later on in Europe in the
mid 1800s and early 1900s - bloodlines that
were destroyed during the 2 World wars.
Many thanks to Marcus Arndt and Dr.
Sabine Schlenkrich for providing photos
and details on the temperament of some of
the Sloughis. Also, a lot of information
about the descendants would have been
very difficult if not impossible to obtain
without Patricia Lauer and the Sloughi
Archive.
Last but not least, thank you to all the
contributors who took the time to
document their dogs with awesome texts
and photos.
