The Afghan Hound is a large, elegant sighthound known for its dignified, independent temperament and flowing coat. Typically aloof with strangers yet deeply affectionate with family, Afghans combine a lithe, athletic build with a love of running and regular vigorous exercise; they do best where there’s safe space to stretch their legs. Prospective owners should consider their need for space and secure outdoor access, time for extensive grooming, gentle, consistent training and early socialisation, and routine health checks.
