Afghanistan is a country of extremes - there are high mountains with cold and thin air close to deserts. The dogs that developed in the southern and western desert regions tend to be light in color and have a sparse coat. The dogs from the north are more compact, darker, and with thicker Afghanistan coats. The Afghan hound is the most known dog breed from Afghanistan, but there is also the Afghan Shep- herd, or Kuchi. This is a herding and guard dog that follows nomads on their travels. Afghan Hound The Afghan Hound is a tall and long-haired dog from Afghanistan. It is believed to be one of the oldest types of dogs still in existence, but wasn’t discovered by the western world until the 19th century. Some dogs were brought to Europe in the early 1900s, but none remained after the first World War. The breed today stems back to a group of dogs brought to Scot- land from Pakistan in 1920. The first dogs to reach the USA came over in 1926. Afghan Hounds are known for being highly individual, aloof, and dignified. That is, unless they’re playing. They love to have fun and often show a clownish side when it’s time to play. These dogs make wonderful family members, but they need a lot of exercise and they are very fast. They are also able to run for a long time, so you’re not likely to jog an Afghan tired. When it comes to grooming, the long coat needs regular brushing and care. Most Afghan Hounds weigh between 44 and 59 pounds and need a Large PlexiDor dog door. “We are very pleased with your product, the PlexiDor Wall Unit.

The Australian Cattle Dog is the most known dog breed outside its country of origin, but there are many other breeds from Australia. For example, the Australian Terrier, Australian Kelpie, Halls Heeler, Kangaroo Dog and Miniature Fox Terrier. Australia Australian Cattle Dog The Australian Cattle Dog is often called ACD, or just cattle dog, and these are energetic cattle herders ready to work all day. In their home land Australia these dogs drive cattle across long distances over rough terrain, and they are unfazed by angry cows. An individual with strong herding instinct can get the idea to herd anything that moves. Australian Cattle Dogs are agile, curious, strong, and intelligent. They consistently score amongst the ten most intelligent breeds. They generally also have a lot of energy, and paired with bright minds this means they need something to do. Bring the ACD along on adventures, jogging, hiking, or whatever the family is up to. This is a wonderful breed for herding, obedience training, or agility, and the dog bonds closely with the family. Little grooming is required, and an occasional bath and brushing is enough. Most Australian Cattle Dogs weigh under 50 pounds, and need either a medium or a large PlexiDor dog door.
