Originally bred in Afghanistan for hunting large prey in the mountains and deserts, the Afghan Hound is a smart, independent dog that does his own thing. These dogs can be quite tender and loving when they want to be but can be mischevious and playful. Subsequently, they can be difficult to train. They are also very sensitive and do not respond well to pain or rough handling.
