Breed Description

The Afghan Hound is a very old sighthound dog breed. Originally a hunting dog of wolves, foxes and gazelles. Originating in Afghanistan, its features and coats are a must with the cold atmosphere and mountains. Afghan Hounds are known for there lack of obedience and intelligence and their clownish behaviour when playing. Although Afghan Hounds love their family as any other breed does, however, they do posses ?cat like? tendencies and do like their independence, so don't be shocked if your Afghan does not respond to commands or can be cold towards you.
