Afghan Hound Dog Breed

Afghan Hound: Things to Know

High Maintenance: Afghan Hounds are a high-maintenance dog breed due to their coat. They need daily brushing and weekly bathing to keep their coat clean and free of mats. The Afghan Hound needs a lot of maintenance because of their long, silky, and thick coat. You will have to brush your Afghan Hound every day and do a thorough brushing and grooming at least once a week.

Low Shedding: Afghan Hounds are a low-shedding breed of dog. They only have one coat, while other breeds have both a top coat and an undercoat. Because of this, they don't shed as much as other dog breeds.

Hard to Train: Afghan Hounds are intelligent but can be difficult to train because they are stubborn and sensitive to harsh correction.

Personality: The Afghan Hound, true to its hunting heritage, displays a strong-willed and independent nature, often appearing aloof and self-assured. This breed's personality is a fascinating mix of contradictions; they can be fiercely brave yet possibly timid, occasionally flighty but sometimes calm and leisurely, and they balance dignity with a hint of playfulness.

Not Good with New Owners: Afghan hounds are not recommended for first-time owners because they are independent and can be difficult to train.

Good with Kids: Afghan Hound Puppies can be socialized with children of all ages.
