Afghan Hound FAQs
How much does an Afghan Hound puppy cost?
In Ireland, the average cost of a purebred Afghan Hound puppy ranges between €1,200 and €2,000, depending on pedigree, breeder reputation, and lineage. Puppies from champion or IKC-registered lines may cost more.
Is the Afghan Hound a good pet?
Afghan Hounds can make elegant and loyal companions, but they’re best suited for experienced dog owners. Due to their independent nature and grooming requirements, they thrive with active families who can provide regular exercise and care.
What are the disadvantages of Afghan Hounds?
Afghan Hounds can be aloof and independent, which sometimes makes training more challenging. They have high-maintenance coats that require frequent grooming, and their strong prey drive means they may not always get along with smaller pets.
Can Afghan Hounds be aggressive?
Generally, Afghan Hounds are calm, gentle, and not naturally aggressive. However, like any breed, poor socialisation or lack of training can lead to behavioural issues. With the right guidance, they’re known for their graceful and affectionate temperament.
Are Afghan Hounds high maintenance?
Yes — Afghan Hounds are considered a high-maintenance breed due to their long, silky coats that need regular brushing and care to prevent matting. They also require daily exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy.
