Summary
About Irish Wolfhound
Irish Wolfhounds are giant, tall hounds with a strong yet graceful build and a rough, weather‑resistant coat. Calm, gentle and sensitive, they are low‑key indoors but need steady exercise and space. They have notable health risks and a relatively short lifespan, so careful breeding and care are vital.
About Sloughi
An elegant, long-legged sighthound from North Africa with a short coat, a gentle expression, and a strong prey drive. The Sloughi is often calm and affectionate with family but reserved around strangers. It needs daily walks, regular opportunities to run in a securely enclosed area, and gentle training. Close companionship, early socialization, and a warm place to rest are important parts of its daily life.
