The breed has multiple different names such as: Kuchi hound, Balkin Hound, Galanday Hound and the Tāzī Spay (which is what it is known as locally in Afghanistan). The breed is known for its highly distinguishable thick and silky coat and ring curl tail. Traditionally the Afghan Hound has been used as a sighthound during hunting. This means that the breed has a high 'prey drive' and may not get along with small animals or children. Due to this fact it is recommended to not keep an Afghan Hound in the same household as small children, other small pets or dogs. However, the temperament of a typical Afghan Hound is aloof, sensitive, loyal, friendly and dignified. However they are known to be extremely puppy-like and happy while playing. Due to their sensitive nature, it is important to never shout at your Afghan Hound in an aggressive manner. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the animal you are considering to keep as a pet to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your pet with the best possible care.
