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 Maltipoo
Maltipoo: small, people‑oriented companion (3–8 kg, 24–35 cm) with a soft, low‑shedding, high‑maintenance coat. Typically affectionate, trainable, and suited to flats or houses with daily walks. Needs gentle training, regular grooming, company, and routine to avoid anxiety and barking.
