Update: Canine Chronicle Virtual Dog Show – You Be The Judge! – Afghan Hounds
Dog A
It is time to put your thinking caps on! For today’s Virtual Dog Show, we are asking our readers to be the judge and place the following three Afghan Hounds First, Second and Third AND to tell us why.
The complete AKC Official Standard for Afghan Hounds is available online here. As quoted from the AKC Standard, the general appearance of the Afghan Hound is as follows:
The Afghan Hound is an aristocrat, his whole appearance one of dignity and aloofness 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 hipbones, 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.
UPDATE: Thank you all for your participation! Our “at home judges” overwhelmingly chose Dog A as their first place.
If you have 3 dog photos of your own you would like to share for this series or have any feedback – please email Cheslie at cheslie@caninechronicle.com. We look forward to your participation!
