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 Lancashire Heeler
Small, sturdy British farm dog, the Lancashire Heeler is energetic, intelligent and agile, with a compact, low-slung body and weatherproof black-and-tan or liver-and-tan coat. Affectionate yet independent, it needs regular training, mental stimulation and exercise, and remains a rare, vulnerable native breed.
