The elegant appearance of the Afghan, with its long, silky coat, has attracted many people to this breed. Such styling, however, is possible only by dedicated grooming. The length of the coat has been gently developed by selective breeding over about the last 50 years. In motion, the Afghan Hound is high-stepping, giving the impression of springing over the ground with its coat flowing behind.

This athletic hound requires plenty of exercise. It may tend to run off too readily - perhaps a reflection of its hunting past.

Lively, active, dignified and aloof.
