Afghan Hound Information

Known for their elegant beauty, Afghan Hounds are an independent, sweet breed known for their long, flowing coat of fur. These locks, while very regal, also serve an important purpose: protecting the pup from the harsh climate of the mountainous region from which it hails. Underneath is a strong, agile dog built for hunting.

Grooming an Afghan Hound is challenging and training isn’t easy, but for breed devotees, the dog’s faithfulness, sophistication and charm make it the perfect pet. He’s also good with children and other pets.
