The genetics are what they are, the Moroccans ruled are large part of Spain for centuries hence Galgos and Sloughis being closely related.

Spain was invaded more than any other country  maybe for the galgos blood

i would love for our dogs to be superior....of course i would....i just dont believe you can say they are by watching spanish galgos on vid in spain.....you would have to go there and do it...to know for sure

The Galgo has a long history. Their ancestors can be traced back to ancient Egypt, Asia and Celtic Europeans, as far back as 8 A.D. Greyhounds, in general, are often referred to as one of the oldest purebred dogs

i wonder what ancestor can be traced back to ancient egypt

Caravan hounds. These dogs spread across the world as the people did. They took their dogs and their horses. It is a story as old as time.

mC, I don't want to sound condescending or patronising, but Morocco is in North Africa, Saudi is the Arabian peninsula, many, many miles apart. 

Saudi is Arab, and has only existed as a country for less than 100 years, Morocco is also Arab, but also Berber, Touareg and african. Even the Arabic they speak is different.

But down to dogs; North Africa has its sloughis and azawhaks, head east into the Fertile Crescent , Persia, (Iran) and the Arabian peninsula and they have their Salukis, go north a bit into the Caucasus region and you'll find tazi, Afghan hound, go further north into Russia and the Eurasian steppes and you get the borzoi and the Horta, turn West into Eastern Europe and you'll find the chartpolski, the Magyar agar, amongst others.

Then into Western Europe and you get the galgo, grey hound, whippet etc.

I could go on to India, china and points east for their running type dogs, but I'm sure you get my gist.

Anyhow, if you go far enough back in time, all these dogs will have had a common ancestor, but time , climate, conditions, quarry and selective breeding has honed them into the individual breeds they now are.

And so endeth the lesson ! !

Cheers.

Lol wheres that from the boys book of doggies lol, there's a lot of tosh written about sighthounds but thankfully genetics are sorting the wheat from the chaff. The sighthounds in general are all whats known as ancient breeds meaning they have no other ancestor within their genetic makeup, other than the greyhound which although old is developed from a collie type likely at the time the hare was introduced to Britain by the Romans. The Romans likely brought ancient sighthounds with them, quite possibly  galgos as their were Spanish legions in northern Europe and they extolled their value in their writings but not enough to leave a genetic trace. The locals thought we'll have some of that and set about creating their own sighthound and develop the fastest dog ever bred, the English greyhound.

is there lads here sandy with galsos what are  daytime dogs 

There's a few now and some just starting but not enough to get a decent genetic base. I've gotten a stud agreed for future use that has a bit of size which I like, both my youngsters are only 24" but might still bring on over in the future.

Still plenty of game in some parts of North Africa/Mediterranean basin I was offered a job in a hospital out there and one of the sweeteners was going out with the managers brother and his sloughi/lurchers and having my own dogs. I like the dog bit but didn't fancy leaving my family for weeks at a time. His brother is a decent sort though and I keep in contact with them just to see what they're up to .
