Native to the Middle East

The Afghan Hound is an ancient dog breed. There were images of the Afghan Hound 4,000 years ago. This dog originated in the Middle East and was used to hunt gazelles, wolves, snow leopards and other fast-running animals.

The Afghan Hound first landed in Britain in 1886 and became the British royal hound. After Britain introduced this breed to the United States in 1926, the United States improved it for half a century, giving the Afghan Hound its elegant and majestic appearance, and forming a unique style with its beautiful appearance. It has strong endurance in any harsh environment, amazing agility and strong physique, and has a high ornamental value. Later, this breed was introduced to Europe again and became popular all over the world.

The Afghan Hound has naturally smooth long hair, which looks like a medieval noble. No matter where it goes, it has a 100% turning rate. It is this flowing long hair that makes the Afghan Hound, male or female, known as the "Jun Ji-hyun of the dog world". However, if this long hair is not well cared for, it will turn from a fairy with long flowing hair into a sloppy stray dog. Some foreign fashion magazines will also invite Afghan Hounds to shoot together. They are indeed very compatible with some luxury brands, and the effect is excellent. But as a fashion darling, the Afghan Hound exposes its shortcomings as soon as it enters the water. The Afghan Hound, which cannot swim, immediately becomes a ball of seaweed in the water as soon as it enters the water. In addition, the Afghan Hound's hair is too long, and it becomes much heavier after absorbing water, making it very difficult to swim.

The advantages of Afghan Hounds are boldness, independence, strong autonomy, and no special care is needed. The disadvantages are stubbornness and willfulness. Only those who understand their characteristics can effectively control them. Although Afghan Hounds are tall, they can adapt to apartment life. Breeders must give them plenty of exercise space and opportunities. In addition, Afghan Hounds have rich and dense fur, which requires a lot of time to comb every day and regular grooming. Breeders are required to have a certain financial ability and sufficient time.
