 The Afghan Hound Breed "standard" describes the Afghan Hound this way...
The Afghan Hound is an aristocrat, his whole appear-
ance one of dignity and aloof-
ness with no trace of plainness
or coarseness. He has a
straight front, proudly carried head, eyes gazing into the distance as if in memory of
ages past. The striking characteristics of the breed-
exotic, or "Eastern," expression, long silky topknot, peculiar coat pattern, very prominent hip-
bones, large feet, and the impression of a somewhat exaggerated bend in the stifle due to profuse trouserings-stand out clearly, giving the Afghan Hound the appearance of what he is, a king of dogs, that has held true to tradition throughout the ages.
