Afghan
information...
The Afghan Hound is considered
an aristocratic sight hound. Tall and slender with a long,
narrow, refined head, silky topknot and powerful jaws. The back
part of the head and skull is quite prominent. The muzzle is
slightly convex. The nose is black. The Afghan has little or no
stop, which is the transition area from back skull to muzzle. The
teeth should meet in a level or scissors bite. The dark eyes are
almond shaped. The ears lie flat to the head. The neck is long
and strong. The height at the withers should be almost level and
the abdomen well tucked up. The hipbones are quite prominent.
The front legs are strong and straight and the feet are large
and covered with long hair. The tail has a curl or ring at the
tip, but is not carried over the back. The long, rich, silky
coat is most often the colour of sand with a darker face and ear
fringes, though all colours are permitted. White markings,
however, are discouraged.
Temperament
Courageous, dignified,
spirited, very sweet, loyal, affectionate and sensitive, with a
low dominance level. Can be somewhat aloof, socialize well. They
must be trained kindly yet in a calm and firm manner. The Afghan
has been described as "a king of dogs", noble, majestic and
elegant. They tend to be suspicious of those they do not know,
but not hostile. Although tough, they will pine if they are
deprived of proper gentle leadership. They will do best with
older, considerate children who understand how to be a gentle
pack leader. Amenable to training and discipline, they can be
disobedient if an owner does not give the dog clear guidelines
as to what is expected of them and are consistent with it. This
breed can be difficult to housebreak. Can be timid and high
strung if they do not receive enough mental and physical
exercise.
Size
Height: Dogs 27 to 29 inches
(68.58-73.66cm) slightly less for bitches.
Weight: 58-64lb (26-34kg.)
Needs
The Afghan Hound needs to be
taken on a long daily walk or jog.
While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or
behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the
leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human.
Dogs who do not get to go on
daily walks are more likely to display behaviour problems. Teach
them to enter and exit door and gateways after the humans. They
will also enjoy running free in an open fenced, safe area.
Grooming
The long, thick coat demands a
great deal of attention. Bathe the dog when necessary. Do not
brush in-between baths in order to keep coat long and shiny.
Brushing a dry coat will damage the coat and even make it more
easily matted. Weekly baths are not as important if your
Afghan is a pet and will not be shown, but doing so will make
the coat less matted and will save you time in the end. Many
wear snoods indoors to protect their ears from food bowls. Some
owners like to use a special air-cushioned brush called a
pin brush. This breed is an average shedder.
Afghan
Origins
This is a very elegant, ancient
dog, native to Sinai, and mentioned several times in Egyptian
papyruses as well as pictured in the caves of northern
Afghanistan more than 4000 years ago. The breed was kept pure
for centuries, and its exportation was always prohibited. It
therefore only reached Europe as contraband early in this
century. An extremely fast and agile runner, the Afghan is a
sight hound, which means it hunts by sight. It was used as a
shepherd and as a hunter of many types of game including deer,
wild goats, snow leopards and wolves. They were also used by
shepherds as herders and watchdogs. Their thick coat protects
against temperature extremes. In Europe and America they have
become a luxurious pet and show dog because of their
aristocratic beauty. Some of the Afghan's talents are hunting,
sighting, tracking, herding, watchdog, racing, and lure
coursing.
