The Afghan Hound is one of the oldest sighthound breeds. It was originally bred to hunt gazelle. As the name suggests, it comes from Afghanistan.
The Afghan stands about 29 inches high and weighs around 50 to 60 pounds. Any color coat is acceptable, however, white markings are discouraged. The tail has a distinct small ring at the end. The Afghan's long, textured coat needs groomed regularly.
It is a large breed dog and is not suited for apartment life. This breed needs exercise regularly. It has a high prey drive, as most sighthounds do, and may not get along with small dogs or cats.
