Afghan hounds
The afghan hound is the super-star of beauty in the dogworld.
With its long, waving fur, proud stature and attitude it doesn't leave anyone untouched. It has been described as "the king of dogs" and it sure is a majestic beeing. A delightful dog with a very special personality.
The height should range from 26-28 inches in males and 24-26 inches in females. The long, thick coat demands a great deal of attention. When showing there is a must to bath once a week.
The afghan hound is very cat-like and can change from aristocratic dignity and clown-like noisyness. It can put off strangers with an uninterested look, while old friends are greeted with overflowing heartiness and happy gambols.
The afghan hound is definitly not stupid as some people think, and anyone who's had the opportunity to get to know an afghan knows at it's actually the opposite.
The reason why people might think it's stupid is maybe that it doesn't always do what you want them to do - they do what THEY want to do and think is best. You mustn't forget that these dogs where breed to keep their independence and stamina in their country of origin.
The breed was originally used for hunting. This strong instinct is still showing when the afghan is loose outdoors and can be a big problem that is hard to manage. The best is to avoid areas with too much vildlife where to dog can have an opportunity to hunt.
Noah's Choice?
There are many theories about the age and heritage of the afghan hound. Some say that the history of the breed is at least 7000 years old and begins around Sinai. In Afghanistan they mean that this is the breed that was chosen to follow Noah on the Ark!
According to the legend, it was the afghan hound who was selected to represent the dogs on the Arch. That's why I call this site "Noah's Choice".
He chose the afghan hound...
