The Afghan Hound is an ideal guard. Anyone who ignores the demands of this dog, can suffer from his bites. Despite his considerable size (approximately 28 inches withers height), the Afghan Hound isn’t gluttonous, but if the conditions allow, he is very picky when it comes to food. This dog is an athlete, and needs a lot of training so that he can let out all of the energy he accumulates. You need to take care of the Afghan Hound’s coat regularly and thoroughly, and remove knots daily. The breeder will show an inexperienced owner how to do it. The Afghan Hound is a dog for enthusiasts with enough time and patience to turn a dog into a true star.
