#19 The preparation of the Afghan Hound for the exhibition differs from the standard care mainly in the set of cosmetics that give the pet’s coat a special gloss.
Usually, the animal is washed on the eve of the event, after which the dried dog is dressed in protective overalls to keep the hair clean for longer. It is better to protect the strands on the ears with a net and pull on protective dog shoe covers on the paws since the skin on them is sensitive and can change shade from contact with room dust.
