Heritage & Purpose
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.
Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Origin:
Welsh farmers developed these dogs in medieval Pembrokeshire for herding cattle and sheep. Their low stature helped them avoid kicks while nipping at livestock's heels.
Special Considerations
Sloughi
Requires secure fencing due to prey drive and speed. Sensitive to anesthesia and medications. Weekly grooming sufficient but regular exercise essential.
Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Regular brushing needed during heavy shedding seasons. Back health requires careful monitoring. Exercise should avoid high jumps or stairs to protect spine.
