The breed has a tendency to be aloof with those they do not know but has great affection and loyalty for their owners. Despite this aloofness with strangers, they can be the greatest of clowns at playtime and are very much people-orientated dogs.

Afghan Hound
The Afghan Hound is one of the most ancient of dogs, and legend states it was this breed that Noah took into the Ark. Northern African sight-hounds migrated into the mountains of Afghanistan, and the hounds with the heaviest coats were used for breeding, thereby creating the Afghan.
