About the Afghan Hound

Afghan Hounds (World of Dogs)
by: Lynda Race

When it comes to glamour, the Afghan Hound has it in spades. Originating in Afghanistan, this tall, graceful breed is thought to be an ancient member of the Greyhound family. The Afghan Hound's long, silky coat was developed to protect the breed from the cold, harsh climate of Afghanistan, after the breed was brought there from the warmer climates of Arabia and Persia. Afghan Hounds found their way to the Western world after British soldiers discovered them near the border between India and Afghanistan in the late 1800's. Afghan Hounds are good natured dogs, but tend to be slightly aloof; befitting their aristocratic appearance, they do not suffer fools! Afghan Hounds are natural athletes that require plenty of outdoor exercise. They were bred to chase gazelles and other swift game, so they require owners who can keep up with them! Afghan Hounds are tall, slender dogs that stand around 27 inches at the shoulder and weigh approximately 60 pounds. Their trademark long flowing tresses are labor-intensive; Afghan Hounds need frequent baths and brushings to keep them looking their best. If you don't mind the coat maintenance, and are looking for a beautiful, intelligent, dignified companion that will definitely turn heads at the dog park, an Afghan Hound puppy is a great choice!
