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 Pumi
The Pumi is a medium‑small Hungarian herding dog with a curly, low‑shedding coat, pricked ears, and an alert expression. Intelligent, energetic, and vocal, it excels in dog sports, needs regular mental and physical work, bonds closely with its family, and remains relatively rare.
