Have A Puppy? Think Well Before Choosing These Dogs

1. Afghan Hound

The aristocratic attitude of this elegant figure is also reflected in its personality. The Afghan Hound does not seek attention, but encourages it to be noticed. You may be surprised to find a brave hunter beneath the gorgeous, long, lustrous coat. The Afghan Hound has a long history, beginning in Egypt, where it was trained to chase small prey such as gazelles and hares in the mountainous regions of the Middle East. It has strong instincts and can run lightly through the mountains, so it needs plenty of outdoor exercise. Owning an Afghan Hound requires a commitment to daily exercise and coat care. With this level of attention, this dog will become a calm, quiet four-legged friend who will love to jump into bed with you. The Afghan Hound can be trained to get along with children, but is not a playmate. This dog will be unhappy if not given attention and will be left alone in the backyard.
