The Sloughi Club in the UK has been in existence since 1997
and was founded by Maria Goodman, although the Sloughi has
been in the UK since the 1970's, original imports coming from
Holland.
The Sloughi Club now has over sixty members and the original
bloodlines of Mrs Jeanny Braakman are behind many of the English
dogs. Jacky Saunders was the original importer of the foundation
stock for the UK and is still active in the breed today, along
with Sue Harper and Rodney Read they show under the Kamet
kennel name.
For many years no imported bloodlines came to the UK and
the Sloughi became almost a forgotten breed. In 1997, Maria
Goodman approached Sue Harper for a bitch in the hope of importing
a male from a kennel in France. The bitch arrived, but sadly
the male did not happen, as the family became rather attached
to him and decided to keep him so she had to look elsewhere.
