We welcome everyone interested in the Afghan Hound - if you own one now, if you are looking for an Afghan Hound puppy, if you breed, show, race, course, or judge them (or plan to), if you have therapy dogs or pets, or simply want to know more about the breed, you are welcome here. Our message archives go back to the year 2000 (this is the longest continuously running Afghan Hound list on the internet) and there is a wealth of information stored there for anyone interested in the breed. This group was created to provide a place where we can discuss and share our experience as breeders and lovers of Afghan Hounds. Every person has a right to their opinion, and opinions are as diverse as the people on this list. We hope that we can all learn from each other. Please feel free to brag about litters and wins and keep us informed about what is happening in your part of the world, we have members from over 30 different countries! Let's all have a laugh and a cry when necessary, but above all lets celebrate our good fortune to be connected through our love for the breed. This is a "civilised" list where courtesy and respect for others prevails. We hope that you will find it interesting, informative and enjoyable. References are not required and all addresses are acceptable, but all memberships must be approved by list owner or moderator. Overseas members are welcome and encouraged to participate. The more information that is exchanged internationally can only benefit all of us - and especially the reason for your being here - the fascinating, exotic, inimitable Afghan Hound.
