Are Sloughi rare?

Yes, Sloughis are considered a rare breed, especially outside their native regions in North Africa. These elegant, fast sighthounds originate from countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. While they have a long history in these regions, their overall population is much smaller than other sighthounds like Greyhounds or Whippets. Efforts to preserve the breed have increased, but they remain relatively uncommon globally, particularly in areas like North America and Europe.
