Sloughi are a clean managable breed; they do not like to be dirty in any way, and will wash themselves cat-fashion if their coats become soiled. They do not seem to like the rain much, which is not surprising if one considers that they originated in the desert. There is evidence of the Sloughi dating back to the ancient Egyptians, and indeed a mummified body of a Sloughi has been discovered in a tomb. They are devoted to their family, are not a noisy hound, and like most hounds they seem to have an affinity with children.
