Afghan Hound
The Afghan Hound is an ancient sighthound known for its dramatic, flowing coat and aristocratic, aloof demeanor. Bred to hunt by sight over harsh, mountainous terrain, it combines elegance with surprising athleticism and speed. Today it is valued as a companion and show dog, but still retains strong hunting instincts and an independent nature.
