Summary
About Afghan Hound
Ancient sighthound with tall, elegant build and long silky coat needing frequent grooming. Aloof with strangers but affectionate with family, independent and sensitive to harsh handling. Requires calm, positive training, secure exercise, and careful health and coat care.
About East European Shepherd
The East European Shepherd is a large, robust working dog from the former Soviet Union, resembling a bigger, squarer German Shepherd. Loyal and protective, it needs firm, fair training, early socialisation, and plenty of structured mental and physical exercise.
