Sloughi Growth Stages

Understanding the typical growth stages helps you know what to expect as your Sloughi puppy grows.

Neonatal

0–2 weeks

Puppies are born with eyes and ears closed, relying entirely on their mother. Rapid weight gain occurs during this period.

Socialization

3–12 weeks

Eyes and ears open. Puppies begin to explore, play, and learn social behaviors. This is a critical period for development.

Juvenile

3–8 months

Rapid growth continues. Puppies become more independent, start teething, and develop coordination.

Adolescent

8–14 months

Growth rate begins to slow. Puppies reach sexual maturity and may test boundaries. Muscle mass develops.

Young Adult

14–18 months

Growth is nearly complete. Your puppy is filling out and approaching adult proportions.

Adult

18+ months

Your puppy has reached their full adult size. Weight should remain relatively stable with proper nutrition.

Sloughi FAQ

How much will my Sloughi puppy weigh as an adult?

Adult Sloughis typically weigh between 45 and 65 lb. The breed standard does not split this range by sex, so males and females share the same 45-65 lb band.

At what age is a Sloughi fully grown?

Most reach adult weight between 14 and 18 months. Desert sighthounds stay naturally lean throughout growth — a fit adolescent Sloughi showing ribs is the breed's normal look, not underweight.

How accurate is a Sloughi puppy weight chart?

It is a useful guide, but this is an exceptionally lean breed — a fit Sloughi carries almost no body fat. Trust the scale and the multi-week trend over visual guesses, since the eye underestimates weight on a dog this lean.

How much should a Sloughi puppy weigh at 12 weeks?

Check the 12-week row in the weight-by-age table above for the estimated range. If your puppy falls well outside that band, re-check the scale, the lb/kg setting, and the age entry first — a single off reading is more common than a truly unusual puppy.

Do male and female Sloughis grow differently?

The official adult range is the same for both sexes at 45-65 lb. Males may average a few pounds heavier, but the overlap is wide enough that one chart serves both.
