Ocerico Sloughis

10/31/2026

Sloughis are really a low maintenance breed in terms of grooming. Occasional baths, checking ears and teeth (and cleaning as needed) and regular nail trimming or grinding, are all that is needed to keep them in tip top shape!

Pro tip: using nice, warm water and warming their towels in the dryer before use will help keep complaints to a minimum!😁♨️🚿🫧

It was a super great day for us in Springfield today, the best part of it was the friendship and camaraderie of fellow American Sloughi Association members who have traveled from IL, CA, GA, KY, VA, DE, WI and PA for this year's National. But we had a lot of icing on the cake today.

Pending AKC confirmation, James earned his AKC Grand Championship today and is now known as 𝐆𝐂𝐇 𝐎𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐨 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐂𝐀𝐓 𝐕𝐒𝐖𝐁 𝐅𝐈𝐓𝐆.

Itri was Best of Breed at the Mattoon Kennel Club supported entry and then went on to earn his AKC CGC! 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙄𝙩𝙧𝙞'𝙨 19𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙞𝙨 18𝙩𝙝 𝘼𝙆𝘾 𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙡𝙚. Pending AKC confirmation, he is now known as 𝐆𝐂𝐇𝐒 𝐈𝐭𝐫𝐢 𝐎𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐨 𝐎𝐇𝐒 𝐅𝐃𝐂 𝐁𝐂𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐊𝐀 𝐀𝐓𝐓 𝐂𝐆𝐂 𝐕𝐇𝐌𝐀 𝐕𝐒𝐖𝐁 𝐅𝐈𝐓𝐒.

Thank you to sighthound breeder judge Patti Widick Neale for recognizing our boys and to Laura King, Robin Novack and Trey Behm for presenting them so beautifully in the ring.

We have so much to be grateful for in a year of remarkable achievements with our Sloughis, but this milestone may be the most meaningful of all.

Our home bred Fezzan has become 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙞 𝙞𝙣 𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮! (We have been unable to confirm an agility titled Sloughi elsewhere in the world, so he may be the first agility titled Sloughi ever.)

Already the first Sloughi to earn the AKC Trick Dog Intermediate and Trick Dog Advanced titles, he has now added another breed first: the AKC ACT1J.

Above all, he is our beautiful, beloved boy—and we could not be prouder.

⭐️⭐️⭐️The Top Winning Sloughi in AKC history has had a busy year so far showing off his versatility and adding to his credentials. Itri earned his 17th AKC title today (pending AKC confirmation)...ATT, passing his temperament tests with two perfect scores. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
