Afghan Hound Rescue

The Afghan Hound also commonly often called the Baluchi Hound, Sage Baluchi, Tazi, and Ogar Afgan comes to us from Afghanistan. The Afghan Hound features a coat which is extensive and fine and comes in many colors. He is known for his especially high activity level, being a bit measured to understand, but with a vigorous yet reserved temperament.

The Afghan Hound seriously isn't identified for being a great guard dog but as a watch dog, he is a prize. The Afghan Hound loves wide open spaces along with running and playing. They need an abundance of exercise so an active family will do great with an Afghan so long as they include her or him in their fun out-of-doors activities. At one time, the Afghan had a reputation of being insubordinate and even untrustworthy; however, this is not the case if taught properly. Remember, though, they do enjoy wide open spaces and plenty of running space.

Afghan Hounds are normally very fit, however, they do tend to have a low tolerance to pain, and thus even a small wound can be very agonizing. If you allow them to run and play on their own outdoors, you should check the area for rocks, twigs, or other items that can cause pain to the pads of their feet.
