The Afghan Hound comes from Afghanistan, where the original name for the breed was Tazi. The breed has long been thought to date back to the pre-Christian era. DNA researchers have recently discovered that the Afghan Hound is one of the most ancient dog breeds and dates back thousands of years.

What do afghan hounds weigh?

Um well I am not sure what you mean by "hound dog" because that could be anything from a greyhound to a basset hound. Sometimes you can get a dog for free, but that is very seldom and probably the owner of the dog will do that as a last resort. Then there are very valuable champion sighthounds that cost a fortune. Since you gave me a very broad question, I will give you a very broad answer.
