Hound Group - Afghan Hound


Afghan Hound
Originally uploaded by Devilstar
One truly attractive dog breed that I personally would be nervous to own but love to watch is the Afghan Hound.

Frequently he is the first in line as the dogs are paraded round the ring and he takes your breath away with his pure elegance!

Why would I not want to own one . . . well, that is all about the grooming, of course. In full coat and well-groomed, this dog makes a very pretty picture. It is up to the judge to determine that in fact, he has a good bone structure under the coat.

Watch for this dog and take a look how proud and happy he is to just be there! I think for me, the Afghan is probably the one dog I have always felt is made for the show ring, and he always gives you a SHOW!

Other dogs who you may be more familiar with in this group are the Basset Hound, Beagle, Dachshund and Greyhound. The Beagle and Dachshund come in more than one size and the Dachshund comes in three different coats.
