The breed can date itself back over 5000 years. It is native to
Afghanistan. It is a sight hound and was originally used for
herding, hunting and as a watchdog. Due to its quick speed, it
made an excellent hunting animal to pursue game. It only reached
Europe and the United States in the 1900s because its
exportation was prohibited. The Afghan Hound is now used mainly
as companion, watchdog and hunting dog.
This dog with a dignified air is a loyal and faithful companion.

family that enjoys exercise and play. If you choose an Afghan
then plan on a lifetime of love and enjoyment from your new pet.
