| The Afghan Hound is the dignifed aristocrat of dogs, aloof and striking with its long, silky fur and stunning physique. They are a sensitive yet courageous breed that need a lot of care, especially in grooming their luxurious coat. Gentle consistent training is required as these dogs do not respond well to heavy handed, aggressive methods. The coat can be almost any color and requires special grooming tools to keep it free from tangles and matting. Weighing in at between fifty and sixty pounds, and standing between twenty-five and and twenty-seven inches high when mature , this dog makes an exotic, affectionate and beautiful companion. |
