Sloughis come in all shades of sand from light sand to deep mahogany. They can have black markings such as black mask, ears, tail, penciling on the toes, and/or brindle. And all of these colors and markings can have a black mantle (what is called black and tan or black and brindle in other breeds) or a darker overlay (sabling). This scrumptious puppy is a light sand brindle with black mantle.

When our Sloughis are lactating, we supplement their food with homemade honey custard to help ensure that they are getting enough calories, fat and calcium to feed their growing puppies. Fortunately, this is something they also love ❤🐾

A sweet little fatty from our current Sloughi litter at 2 1/2 weeks of age. I think Sloughi puppies look like little walruses until they are about 6 weeks old 🥰

We are gauging interest about breeding a second litter this year. If you are interested in a Sloughi puppy, feel free to PM us.

Ocerico Sloughis

We love and exhibit the Sloughi, the rare breed of sighthound from the north African countries of Morocco, Tunisia, Libya and Algeria, and we have imported more Sloughis from Morocco than anyone else in the U.S. in order to help diversify the American gene pool and to preserve the authentic, North African Sloughi.

The top-winning Sloughis in the U.S. for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, the first AKC Champion, the first AKC Grand Champion, the first AKC Hound Group placing Sloughis, Best in Miscellaneous Class (BIMC) and Certificate of Merit Sloughis, the first UKC Grand Champion Sloughis, the first Westminster Best of Breed Sloughi, and the most titled Sloughi in US history are all owned or bred by Ocerico Sloughis. We have owned and/or bred more AKC Group placing Sloughis than anyone else in the history of the breed in the US, including the top Best in Show winning (UKC) Sloughi in the United States. We are the only AKC Breeder of Merit Sloughi breeder, and we adhere strictly to the Code of Ethics of the National Parent Club, the American Sloughi Association.

Our Sloughis are not just show dogs, but family members who live in our home. For this reason, we breed only rarely, and our Sloughi puppies are lovingly raised under foot.

We have been involved with Sloughis since 1995; we have shown Sloughis since 1998, and we have been active in sighthounds since 1987, including Sloughis, Afghan hounds, and Rhodesian ridgebacks. We are active in the American Sloughi Association, the AKC National Parent Club for the breed in the United States. Erika Wyatt is the AKC Delegate, Judges Education Chair, breed mentor, and presenter, approved by the American Sloughi Association.
