Best Answer

Generally yes. The Afghan Hound is a dog with a long, thick coat that requires frequent grooming and brushing to prevent a matted mess. Even if its coat its trimmed short, the Afghan Hound should still be groomed regularly.

The Afghan Hound can also be slow at learning due to their stubbornness, which might make it challenging if not frustrating to housebreak for inexperienced dog owners.

Moreover, the Afghan Hound is also a breed that needs regular physical exercise and may have strong instincts to chase moving objects and animals. If you're an owner who is unwilling to provide daily physical stimulation or owns other small animals, then the Afghan Hound may not be the right breed for you.

Yes. Greyhounds and poodles are the exact same species, a domesticated canid, Canis lupus familiaris, descended from wolves.
