They are fine with long walks or jogs. It is good practise to have them go out morning and afternoon, or a longer session to burn all the excess energy built up daily.
Without enough exercise daily, you may see unwanted behaviours such as barking, chewing, digging, and at times even destruction.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Playfullness” tab_id=”1610854963226-7-3e97e-8bb1″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][dt_icon icon_alignment=”icon_center” dt_icon=”fas fa-star” dt_icon_size=”16px” dt_icon_bg_size=”32px” dt_icon_border_width=”0px” icon_border_gap=”0px” dt_icon_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][dt_icon icon_alignment=”icon_center” dt_icon=”fas fa-star” dt_icon_size=”16px” dt_icon_bg_size=”32px” dt_icon_border_width=”0px” icon_border_gap=”0px” dt_icon_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][dt_icon icon_alignment=”icon_center” dt_icon=”fas fa-star” dt_icon_size=”16px” dt_icon_bg_size=”32px” dt_icon_border_width=”0px” icon_border_gap=”0px” dt_icon_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][dt_icon icon_alignment=”icon_center” dt_icon=”fas fa-star-half” dt_icon_size=”16px” dt_icon_bg_size=”32px” dt_icon_border_width=”0px” icon_border_gap=”0px” dt_icon_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1611128045761{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]Afghan Hounds love being around their family, they love being left alone but above all else, due to having the energy to do so, they love playing all day as well or rather just enjoy activities and doing anything with their family.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Personality” tab_id=”1610854964736-8-0e97e-8bb1″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][dt_icon icon_alignment=”icon_center” dt_icon=”fas fa-star” dt_icon_size=”16px” dt_icon_bg_size=”32px” dt_icon_border_width=”0px” icon_border_gap=”0px” dt_icon_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][dt_icon icon_alignment=”icon_center” dt_icon=”fas fa-star” dt_icon_size=”16px” dt_icon_bg_size=”32px” dt_icon_border_width=”0px” icon_border_gap=”0px” dt_icon_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][dt_icon icon_alignment=”icon_center” dt_icon=”fas fa-star” dt_icon_size=”16px” dt_icon_bg_size=”32px” dt_icon_border_width=”0px” icon_border_gap=”0px” dt_icon_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][dt_icon icon_alignment=”icon_center” dt_icon=”fas fa-star” dt_icon_size=”16px” dt_icon_bg_size=”32px” dt_icon_border_width=”0px” icon_border_gap=”0px” dt_icon_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1611128189175{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]The Afghan Hounds is more of a family dog, they would not eagerly greet your guest, in fact, they may just act like they don’t even exist. They are not very good watch dogs in this regard as they are firstly not known to bark often and secondly, very indifferent to things they are not interested in.
Despite that, they are a very loyal breed, and will fight for their owner. It is still advised, as the owner, to never let them engage with other animals despite their large size. They may be loyal, but that does not mean they are skilled fighters or guard dogs.
It’s always recommended to have them enrol in puppy school when they are young. This will help them socialize and help both you & your Afghan Hounds understanding the basis and concept of puppy training.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Feeding” tab_id=”1610855395467-5-7e97e-8bb1″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][dt_icon icon_alignment=”icon_center” dt_icon=”fas fa-star” dt_icon_size=”16px” dt_icon_bg_size=”32px” dt_icon_border_width=”0px” icon_border_gap=”0px” dt_icon_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][dt_icon icon_alignment=”icon_center” dt_icon=”fas fa-star” dt_icon_size=”16px” dt_icon_bg_size=”32px” dt_icon_border_width=”0px” icon_border_gap=”0px” dt_icon_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][dt_icon icon_alignment=”icon_center” dt_icon=”fas fa-star” dt_icon_size=”16px” dt_icon_bg_size=”32px” dt_icon_border_width=”0px” icon_border_gap=”0px” dt_icon_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][dt_icon icon_alignment=”icon_center” dt_icon=”fas fa-star” dt_icon_size=”16px” dt_icon_bg_size=”32px” dt_icon_border_width=”0px” icon_border_gap=”0px” dt_icon_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1611128241396{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]The Afghan Hounds are not known to be fussy eaters, they will generally eat anything you throw at them.

Afghan Hound were a status symbol of royals, tribal chieftains, and aristocrats in Asia’s mountain kingdoms which belongs to a subcategory of hound known as sighthounds. This was due to their extraordinary panoramic vision which was able to spot and pursue prey at high speeds.
Afghan Hound never made it to the Western culture until the late 1800s and by 1900s it was the preferred breed of the British gentry.
They were official recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in the 1927.
It was not until 1930s US breeders began to actively sought the Afghan Hound for breeding.
Now days, the Afghan Hound is best known for being one of the most majestic Show-Dogs around.
