Heritage & Purpose
Bulldog
Origin:
Developed in England during the 1500s for bull-baiting sports. After blood sports were banned, selective breeding transformed them into gentle companion dogs.
Sloughi
Origin:
Desert hunters of North Africa, dating back several millennia, these swift sighthounds excelled at pursuing game like hares and gazelles across vast sandy terrains.
Special Considerations
Bulldog
Requires regular cleaning of facial wrinkles, moderate exercise in cool weather, and close monitoring of breathing issues. Cannot tolerate extreme temperatures.
Sloughi
Requires secure fencing due to prey drive and speed. Sensitive to anesthesia and medications. Weekly grooming sufficient but regular exercise essential.
