Introduction

Distinctive for its elegant appearance, the Afghan Hound stands out with a silky coat and a noble, aloof demeanor. Known for its dignified and sometimes reserved personality, this breed pairs a striking appearance with a calm but independent temperament. Of medium to large size, the Afghan requires regular exercise but isn't overly energetic, making it a graceful companion both in the show ring and at home. Their distinctive looks and loyalty make them both a beautiful and affectionate pet, though their independence can be a challenge for first-time dog owners.
