--------------------------------------------------
Šis ir vidēja/liela izmēra, īsspalvains medību suns ar dižciltīgu, cienīgu stāju. Tas ir elegants un ātrs, stiprs un muskuļots. Pieaugušu tēviņu augstums skaustā ir 66–72 cm, bet pieaugušu mātīšu augstums skaustā ir 61–68 cm. Šīs šķirnes suņu svars ir 20–27 kg. Tie dzīvo kopā ar beduīniem Z-Āfrikā. Šie suņi medī zaķus, lapsas, meža cūkas, šakāļus, gazeles.
Beduīnu cilts ļaudis šiem suņiem izrāda lielu cieņu, turklāt rotā tos ar talismaniem un amuletiem. Kad beduīns dodas ciemos, pret viņa suni izturas tāpat kā pret jebkuru augsti godājamu viesi, un, ja sunim ir auksti, cilts ļaudis ar lielu prieku atdos tam savu segu. Un, kad suns nomirst, beduīni no sirds sēro un apglabā suni ar godu. Pierādījumi liecina, ka šie suņi eksistējuši jau Senajā Ēģiptē, un kapenēs ir atrasts mumificēts suņa ķermenis.
Šie ir neatkarīgi suņi ar iekšēju vēlmi medīt, un tiem piemīt izturība to darīt ilgi. Ja šis suns jau no mazotnes nav socializēts ar kaķiem un citiem nelieliem dzīvniekiem, tas tos uztver kā laupījumu. Šī šķirne nav piemērota tiem, kam ir maz laika. Šie suņi ir mīloši, uzticīgi ģimenes suņi īstajās mājās. Šis nav vokāli aktīvs medību suns.
Šiem suņiem nepieciešams daudz fizisko aktivitāšu. Pieaugušam sunim — divas vai vairāk stundu dienā. Sajūtot medījumu, tie var skriet un skriet neapstājoties, tāpēc nodarbēm bez pavadas jānotiek tikai drošās vietās un sunim jāiemāca pārliecinoši klausīt atsaukšanas komandai.
Suņa uzturā pareizi līdzsvarotām ir jābūt visām svarīgākajām uzturvielu grupām, kā arī pastāvīgi ir jābūt nodrošinātam svaigam ūdenim. Ir svarīgi kontrolēt miesasbūves indikatorus, lai pastāvīgi nodrošinātu, ka sunim ir ideāls ķermeņa stāvoklis, un atcerēties to barot vismaz divas reizes dienā un saskaņā ar attiecīgās barības lietošanas vadlīnijām.
Šie suņi ir tīrīgi, viegli kopjami, kuriem nepatīk nekāda veida netīrība. Ja suns jebkādā veidā kļūst netīrs, tas mazgā sevi kā kaķis. Šo suņu īsā apmatojuma kopšanai var lietot gumijoto kopšanas cimdu. Šīs šķirnes suņi ir visnotaļ veselīgi un izturīgi. Tāpat kā daudzu šķirņu suņiem, tiem ir iespējamas acu problēmas, un tāpēc ieteicams suņiem veikt acu izmeklējumus.
Lai arī tradicionāli tiek uzskatīts, ka daudzi suņi pret bērniem izturas labi (piemēram, medību suņi), visiem suņiem un bērniem ir jāmāca satikt ar citiem un cienīt vienam otru, lai uzturēšanās kopā būtu droša. Bet pat tad suņus un mazus bērnus nekad nedrīkst atstāt kopā bez uzraudzības, un pieaugušajiem pastāvīgi ir jāseko līdzi viņu savstarpējām darbībām.
Lielākā suņu populācija atrodas Marokā. Tā ir ari atbildīga par šī suņa standartu. Šajās zemēs to vēljoprojām izmanto kā medību un sargsuni. Mūsdienas to sastop Marokā, Alžīrijā, Tunisijā un Lībijā. Tikai 2016. gadā amerikāņu suņu audzētāju klubi to pieņēma kā atsevišķu kurtu šķirni.

--------------------------------------------------
This breed is an intelligent, sensitive, and affectionate dog who forms a tight bond with his family. He must live inside with his people and is difficult to rehome. Bring home this dog and he is yours for life. Dogs can live 12 to 15 years. Built for speed, he has thin skin stretched over a frame of muscle and bone. Do not overfeed him and make sure he gets regular exercise to stay fit. His coat is easy to care for — a regular brushing and an occasional bath should do it. Like every sighthound, this dog has a strong prey drive. Cats and small dogs are not safe around dog unless he grew up with them. Even so, it’s best to supervise this dog around other pets and keep them apart when you cannot. And a dog who gets along with small pets indoors may forget they are his pals if he sees them running around outside. And he certainly won’t hesitate to chase unknown cats or other small furry animals, so he must always be walked on a leash. Never let this dog run free except in a safely enclosed area. An underground electronic fence is not a safe enclosure; dog may run right through it, seemingly ignoring the shock. Dogs are a proud and independent breed. They respond well to positive reinforcement, but punishment or heavy-handed methods will shut them down. Puppies need extensive socialization to new people, places, and situations, and older dogs should continue to be socialized throughout their lives.
History – This dog is not a smooth Saluki operating under a pseudonym. He’s the sighthound of the Berber people of North Africa, originally found in Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, and Algeria. These dogs first arrived in Europe in the 19th century when soldiers stationed in North Africa brought them home. The Federation Cynologique Internationale recognized the breed in 1935, but World War II interrupted this dog development. Because of the French war in Algeria, Europeans did not resume breeding the dogs until the late 1960s. In 1973, the first dog was imported to the United States. The United Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1995. The American Kennel Club does not yet recognize this dog, but he is part of the AKC’s Foundation Stock Service and can compete in the Miscellaneous Class, lure coursing, agility, tracking, and obedience events.
Personality -This dog is sensitive and smart. He is affectionate and loves his family. This is a dog that must live indoors with his people, in the same way he shared the tents of nomadic Berbers for thousands of years. Dog bond very closely with their family, and it can be difficult to rehome them. These dogs have a strong prey drive. If they are to live safely and amicably with cats or toy dogs, they must be raised with them from early on. Even then, it’s unwise to leave them together unsupervised. And a dog who gets along with his family’s pets will not necessarily extend the same courtesy to the neighbor’s cat or other small animals he sees outdoors. This is a dog who is sighted on prey has a one-track mind, breathtaking speed, and impressive stamina. To keep him safe, let him off-leash only in a securely fenced yard or park. Train this dog only with positive reinforcement. Punishment or heavy-handed methods will backfire with this proud, independent dog. Start training your puppy the day you bring him home. Even at 8 weeks old, he is capable of soaking up everything you teach him. Do not wait until he is 6 months old to begin training or you will have a bigger, more headstrong dog to deal with. A young dog will test you to see what he can get away with. If possible, get him into puppy kindergarten class by the time he is 10 to 12 weeks old, and socialize, socialize, socialize. However, be aware that many puppy training classes require certain vaccines (like kennel cough) to be up to date, and many veterinarians recommend limited exposure to other dogs and public places until puppy vaccines (including rabies, distemper and parvovirus) have been completed. In lieu of formal training, you can begin training your puppy at home and socializing him among family and friends until puppy vaccines are completed. With a puppy, especially, introduce him to many new situations, people, and places early, and continue socialization throughout his life.
