Afghan Hound

Ever seen a majestic dog like the Afghan Hound? Although it seems that this breed was developed for luxury alone, they were originally created to help hunters chase after animals such as leopards. This is because this aristocratic-looking canine can run as fast as 40 miles per hour, thanks to its hip placement.

As sighthounds, Afghan Hounds have an impeccable sense of sight, and their dolichocephalic heads help in this. Although they are loving and affectionate, this breed is highly energetic and requires a lot of activities! Their luscious, long strands help the dogs stay warm in their place of origin.
