Afghan Hound
Large
Afghanistan
The Afghan Hound evolved for a purpose. His structure not only reflects that purpose but also sets him apart from other sighthounds. He was required to be mentally independent, think on his own and act without human command. In his native lands of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India he, either singly or in packs, was the guardian of the native tribes, their villages and flocks. He killed their game, he protected, and sometimes herded, their sheep and goats.
