Afghan Hounds

 

Although they can easily draw people's attention, Afghan Hounds are aloof, dignified, and aristocrat-looking. But despite their regal appearance, they can also be endearing, funny, and loyal pets.

Afghan Hounds have been popular for their elegant appearance even during ancient times. But their silky and flowing coat isn't only for show, but it's also a protection against the harsh weather in the regions where Afghans have originated. Beneath their glamorous look outside, Afghans are actually powerful and agile, reaching 27 inches height from the shoulder— great for a day of hunting. Their paw pads also serve as shock absorbers for the punishing terrain of the land where they originated. Afghans are special breeds for equally special people. Breed experts say that Afghan Hounds aren't for everyone. But when combined with the right dog owner, Afghan Hounds can actually be the best pets.
