First-year playbook for Sloughi puppy parents
Sloughi puppies are North African sighthounds: cool, leggy, and quietly devoted. Your growth chart belongs with soft-surface exercise, secure containment, and training that respects reserve while still building real-world skills.
After the projection
Sloughis grow tall and often look lean; your veterinarian confirms healthy condition versus underfed—compare trends over weeks, not café comments.
Short coat shows weight honestly; still run hands along ribs monthly so drift does not sneak in behind “always hungry” eyes.
When vertical growth eases, treat drift climbs if sprint outlets shrink but bowl size stays generous.
- Weigh every 2 to 3 weeks on the same scale when possible.
- Monthly photos from above; athletes change shape before the number moves.
- Log treats; reserved dogs still invoice every training rep.
- Discuss cardiac auscultation timing with your vet if recommended.
Reading growth on a Sloughi
Short coat shows condition; weekly hands-on rib checks beat guessing from across the room.
Heat and cold both matter—shade, water, and shorter warm-day outings; dry warmth and limits on ice when cold.
Sensitivity is common; patient, fair training builds trust; harsh handling erodes cooperation.
- Measure food by weight; lean dogs eat little enough that scoop error skews growth.
- Recall on long line in safe spaces before public off-leash dreams.
- Soft bedding; lean athletes rest joints on forgiving surfaces.
- Avoid repetitive high jumps on hard surfaces while growth plates are open.
What changes month to month
Puppyhood is not one stage. It is a stack of different problems and wins. Use this like a timeline, not a rigid rulebook.
- Phase 18 to 12 weeks: desert baby
Routine, gentle handling, calm exposure.
- Crate and potty rhythm.
- Feet, ears, mouth handling with food.
- Socialization at easy distances.
- Start markers indoors.
- Limit reckless jumping while bones mature.
- Phase 23 to 6 months: coordination
Leash and recall foundations.
- Reward check-ins.
- Long line work when appropriate.
- Short reps, many rounds daily.
- Continue stable-dog greetings.
- Phase 36 to 14 months: teenage Sloughi
Channel speed safely.
- Safe zoom space on soft footing.
- Never off-leash near traffic or loose wildlife.
- Watch weight as growth slows.
- Mental games daily.
- Early help if fear or reactivity appears.
- Phase 414 to 24 months: young adult
Partnership deepens.
- Exercise duration and style per veterinary guidance; mature sighthounds still need brakes.
- Keep measuring meals; “athlete appetite” plus snacks quietly thickens the waist.
- Continue recall practice for life—distance erodes habits fast.
- Discuss prevention your vet recommends as adulthood settles.
- Maintain dental and nail care; long toes change gait on hard ground.
Start with these for your Sloughi

Daily care
Feeding, exercise, training, home setup, and prevention. Each block is written for people who just checked their puppy’s weight curve.
Feeding Sloughi puppies
Your veterinarian sets calories for steady growth on a lean frame; fuel training without racing weight.
Measured meals make reinforcement honest.
Transition foods over ~7 days unless your vet directs otherwise.
- Cap daily treat budget; log training jackpots.
- Some individuals run naturally lean; let your vet confirm condition.
- Ask before DIY supplement stacks.
Exercise and surfaces
Pair short bursts with sniff walks; soft grass beats slick tile sprints while young.
End before exhaustion panting or wobbly gait.
In heat, shorten outings and favor water and shade.
- Stop if limping or if the next morning is stiff.
- Carry water on warm outings.
- Leash outside unless the space is fully secured; prey sprint is not negotiable once triggered.
Training reserved sighthounds
Gentle consistency builds trust; cooperation is trained with clarity, not volume.
Socialization includes novel surfaces and sounds at comfortable distances—sub-threshold wins beat flooding.
Teach mat settle so household life has an off-switch between outings.
- Calm sits before doors open.
- Muzzle conditioning with positive methods only if your team recommends safer handling.
- Early help if guarding food, beds, or thresholds appears.
Home structure
Six-foot fence reality check; lean dogs accelerate fast when motivated.
Cozy warmth in cold weather; low body fat stacks chill risk for some individuals.
- Gates when unsupervised.
- Cat and small pet introductions need plans if predatory interest shows.
- Rotate enrichment—scent games, chews, puzzles.
Preventive care
Cardiac and anesthesia sensitivity topics appear in sighthound education; your vet personalizes screening and protocols.
Dental tolerance training while young pays off for life.
Parasite control should match your region and travel.
- Weight log at visits.
- Video limping, collapse, or wobbly episodes.
- Breeder screening notes on file.
When to call your veterinarian
If you are unsure, call your veterinarian, especially with puppies. This list is not complete and does not cover every situation. It is a general reminder of signs many clinics want to hear about.
- Collapse during or after exercise or sudden wobbly gait; emergency.
- Non-weight-bearing lameness or severe pain.
- Severe vomiting or diarrhea with lethargy.
- Bloat signs: painful swollen belly, unproductive retching, restless pacing; emergency.
- Eye injury, squinting, or sudden vision change.
- Heat distress—panting that will not settle, vomiting; emergency.

Breed history
Where Sloughis come from
The Sloughi was developed across North Africa as a coursing hound for hare, fox, and gazelle, prized for speed, heat tolerance relative to heavy sighthounds, and loyalty to family.
They are more reserved with strangers than some sighthounds; harsh handling erodes trust.
Modern Sloughis need sprint outlets and honest fences; off-leash near traffic is gambling.
How the Sloughi calculator works
1
It uses age and current weight
The calculator uses your puppy's current age and weight to estimate adult size. Because puppies grow fastest early on and then slow down as they mature, the estimate adjusts for the stage of growth your Sloughi is in.
2
It compares against typical breed growth
Sloughis are usually close to full size by around 15 months. As your puppy gets older and more of its growth is already complete, the estimate usually becomes more reliable.
3
It checks the estimate against the usual range
Most adult Sloughis fall within a typical weight range of 35-50 lbs. You can use the calculator for younger puppies, but estimates are usually more accurate after about 12 weeks.
