Afghan Hound - facts

The Afghan Hound is a hound that is distinguished by its thick, fine, silky coat and its tail with a ring curl at the end.

There are at least 13 types known in Afghanistan; there may have been many more types of longhaired sighthound in the past.

The spectacular beauty of Afghan Hound dogs caused them to become highly desirable showdogs and pets, and they are recognised by all of the major kennel clubs in the English-speaking world.

The mustache is called "mandarins."

The breed has a reputation among some dog trainers of having a relatively slow "obedience intelligence"

The breed is selectively bred for its unique features in the cold mountains of Afghanistan.
