Afghan Hound Database and Breed Information Exchange (AFGHAN HOUND BREED HISTORY - AFGHANISTAN) |
The history that we have is based on various writings and photographs produced by visitors to Afghanistan during the last 100 years. We will publish articles and items here that help us build a picture of the breed in their native country. If anybody has valuable and informative articles and photographs we would be pleased and grateful for the opportunity to include them here.
