Are you looking for a family dog? If so, then you should add the Afghan hound to your list of breeds to consider. The Afghan hound is one of the most ancient of dog breeds. Although bred for speed and the ability to hunt, the Afghan hound has a very docile side that enables him to get along well in family and group environments. In fact, the Afghan hound is much more sensitive than some people realize. Because of their sensitivity, most experts recommend the Afghan hound be placed in a calm environment or with families that have older children. The Afghan is extremely intelligent and bonds quickly with people. Again, due to his sensitive side, the Afghan is recommended for experienced owners with a gentle hand. The hound does require at least 1 hour of daily activity that will allow him to run at full speed. Contact your veterinary clinic Tampa, FL for more details about this breed.
