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 Landseer
The Landseer is a giant, black‑and‑white water rescue and companion dog, calmer and more athletic than a Newfoundland. Gentle, people‑oriented and usually excellent with children, it needs space, regular grooming, steady training, and active owners willing to handle drool, mud and shedding.
