Afghan Hound
Elegant, noble, and ancient breed with a rich history
Origin & History
The Afghan Hound is an ancient sighthound dog breed originating from the mountainous regions of Afghanistan. Distinguished by its thick, fine, silky coat and its tail with a ring curl at the end, the breed was originally used for hunting large prey in both mountainous and desert terrains.
Physical Characteristics
Afghan Hounds are known for their elegant appearance with a long, silky coat, a distinctive topknot of hair, and a curved tail. They have a proud carriage, standing 25 to 27 inches at the shoulder and weighing 50 to 60 pounds. Their coat comes in many colors, including black, cream, red, and blue.
Health & Lifespan
Afghan Hounds typically live 12-14 years. They are generally healthy but can be prone to certain conditions including hip dysplasia, cataracts, and hypothyroidism. Their deep chest makes them susceptible to bloat, so feeding multiple small meals is recommended.
