An ancient desert sighthound from northern Africa, the Sloughi remains as mysterious and exotic to the Westerners as do its homelands of Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Tunisia. World authority and leading Sloughi breeder Dr. Marie-Dominique Crapon de Caprona has provided an astoundingly complete portrait of her beloved breed, including an insightful look at the breed's lands of origin, the breed's importation to Europe, the US and Canada, a comparative look at the Sloughi and its close relative the Saluki, Greyhound and Azawakh, and the breeders and famous dogs who have established the breed in the modern-day world of pure-bred dogs.
