How well does the Sloughi get along with other sight hounds like the whippet, italian greyhound, and the chart polski? If i get one I would'nt want it fighting with my other dogs. So please tell me
Most sighthounds get on fine with other sighthounds in my experience but it varies from dog to dog the same as any other breed. I have a Greyhound an Saluki and a Whippet and they are devoted to each other. Wikipedia isn't really the place to be asking questions like that to be honest. I'm sure you can find some mildly obsessive websites about Sloughis who'll be able to give you a better opinion.188.29.112.105 (talk) 10:19, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

its like bringing foreign dogs straight into your home and giving you a clear insight to the world of sighthounds especially the sloughi and the other sighthound breeds

Xavier Przezdziecki, a sighthound scholar, in particular of the Sloughi (Les Lévriers 1975; Le Destin des Lévriers 1984) uses “oska” for the Berber sighthound, Sloughi, as well as for the Tuareg Azawakh. He makes (1984) the historic reference to Henri Duveyrier's: Exploration du Sahara: Les Touâreg du nord 1864, (page 224: le lévrier, ôska …) https://archive.org/details/explorationdusa00cossgoog/page/n14/mode/2up?q=chien.
A modern Berber recognises the Tamazight word, currently pronounced hoska, in association with the Sloughi as denoting strong and big (personal communication). Expect to see the word in various forms ôska, hoska, oska, in association with both breeds.--Richard Hawkins (talk) 13:36, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Corrected modern orthography: !uskay = ‘greyhound’, source personal communication & [1]
There seems to be some back-and-forth regarding which alternative name (Arabian Greyhound, Berber Greyhound, etc.) should be emphasized in the lead or infobox. Per WP:NPOV and WP:DUE, all verifiable names should be presented with appropriate balance and without giving undue weight to one unless clearly supported by reliable sources.
To avoid edit warring and maintain neutrality, I suggest keeping all notable alternative names in a single footnote or explanatory note.
"Do not revert again until issue is resolved in the talk page of the topic" I suggest you read WP:BRD. The burden of achieving consensus lies with the editor making the change, not with those maintaining the stable long-standing version. A quick Google search shows that "Arabian Greyhound" is by far the most commonly used alternative name. Skitash (talk) 13:41, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this talk on its own issue pages. Let’s keep this focused solely on content and move any other discussion elsewhere. As for a quick Google search, which should not be a basis but We can go along with it, from my search: the first result is obviously Wikipedia, the second is "Arabian Greyhound" from AKC and right under that is Woopets, which lists the breed’s other name as Lévrier berbère. And so on - it has many overlapping names, including "Sloughi" It’s not a singular name but multiple. "Sloughi" is the most prominent, but the rest should be compiled together, because there’s no need for one alternative name to be more visible than the others when all are backed by hundreds of sources. There are more than 8 names for this same breed. ElijahUHC(Talk)14:48, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
