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 Posavac Hound
Medium, athletic Croatian scent hound with a short red‑and‑white coat and gentle expression. Affectionate and family‑oriented, yet strongly driven to track game. Needs 1–2 hours of daily exercise plus mental work. Generally healthy but rare outside Croatia, so breeders can be hard to find.
