The Afghan Hound is an eye catcher, by their exotic, luxuriant coats and
aristocratic mien. They bond very well with their puckish humor to their owner
and those they know well. Afghan Hounds can be quite open to fun with humor
but to new people it takes time for them to let their guard down. The Afghan
Hound enjoys doing what is asked of it, but sometimes reminds the owner it
does have its own ideas. This popular breed is a good family companion and
needs plenty of space and exercise.
Males height is 26" and 28" (66-71 cm) while females height is 24" and 26"
(61-66 cm). Afghan Hound weight is approx. 60 lbs (27 kg) for the males while
the females weigh approx. 50 lbs (23 kg).
The Afghan coat is silky and long on most of the body while on their shoulders
and their length of their back is short hairs. All colors are acceptable and so are
different color combinations. White markings on the head are not favorable.
Trimming is not required on Afghans but performing grooming requirements are
needed being time consuming.
