#7 In general, the character of “Afghans” is similar to that of a feline: they are cute, charming, sociable, but they will not allow anyone to control their own lives.
However, every Afghan hound is a bright personality, and it is extremely difficult to fit all animals to the same characteristics. For example, among the representatives of this dog family, there is a lot of both shy quiet, and wayward capricious, so buying an Afghan puppy is always a guessing game. Moreover, not a single psychic is able to predict what type of temperament and mindset a pet will have since even babies from the same litter can have absolutely dissimilar characters.
#8 Afghan is touchy. No not like this. The Afghan is very touchy, and if you risked unfairly punishing him, expect universal discontent from the shaggy touchy.
But there are also cases when the dog does not show that it is upset about something, although its soul is seething with indignation. It's quite normal. Afghan hounds, like typical people from the East, are able to mask their own emotions, misleading even the most experienced owners. So if you're dreaming of a dog with a mysterious Asian soul, this breed is definitely on your way.
#9 Afghan hounds are not prone to leadership and will never compete with the owner for the “throne and crown.”
They already know their worth, and therefore do not see the point in proving something to someone. In dealing with strangers, animals are reserved, but not at all aggressive. But ill-mannered children can bring a dog to a nervous breakdown: to endure violence and annoying pranks of kids for Afghan hounds is akin to a disaster. In addition, they do not tolerate pain well, so that a tailor paw, inadvertently pinched by a child's foot, can become a significant reason for a dog's dislike.
