From Tyler's friend, USA
An Afghan Hound can be a wonderful, actually humorous, friend in a fur suit.
Very loving, but doesn't show it all the time (not needy). Sometimes
playful, sometimes seeks solitude, sometimes full of mischief (nests in the
dirty clothes just when you want to start washing them, or will contort and flop
in order not to be brushed). They are brilliant, able to figure things out
quickly - with a treat and praise every time, you can potty train one in a week
(it's intense that first week taking a dog outside every hour or two, but WELL
worth it). Tolerant, will put up with your antics (like insisting
upon the dog wearing a snood when eating - keeps food out of their long ear
hair). This breed is versatile, and can be a spectacular companion (they
talk like Shepherds). Afghan's eyes, and that beautiful coat (you have to
invest a little time each day combing, brushing, detangling) are stunning, but
it's the quirky independent attitude that will win your heart. |
