Dawn B 212 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Afghan, seriously? WORSE than the Husky crosses! Afghans are the worst dogs in the world for training, not to mention their coats. My boss has owned them for 35yrs, I can categorically state they are useless for working! Quote Link to post

My boss has owned them for 35yrs, I can categorically state they are useless for working! i dont claim to be an expert in any way or form, but i have found that dogs are individuals,we have a border collie,very obedient but scatty as fcuk! ive ad them before that were less than obedient and were quiet and quite un exciteable!

Dawn B 212 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I have heard a lot of stories too. You have to ask yourself why the smooth Afghans or crosses of normal Afghans are not commonly used, these dogs will run tirelessly for extensive periods of time, could be very useful IF they could be relied upon and trained to a decent standard. Dont get me wrong, I love the breed, as I said my boss has owned them for 35yrs, I have known the breed for 15yrs, since they bought the kennels, but they aint no working Hound, although I appreciate its a very capable animal in its native country. I run my Terriers at Afghan racing, on Greyhound tracks, I have often seen Afghans power past the Hare after it has broken down on the track and also waited for hours on end with many people trying to catch just one dog!
