 "There is a slight prominence of the nasal bone structure causing 
a slightly Roman appearance, the center line running up over the 
foreface with little or no stop, falling away in front of the eyes 
so there is an absolutely clear outlook with no interference."
 

The AHCA suggests the following books and videos to help you become familiar with the Afghan Hound and the sport of pure bred dogs.

BOOKS 

   
SHINING DOG – SHADOWY WOLF
By Constance O. Miller
       
The original manuscript on CD-ROM!
       
Proceeds from the sale of this CD
will be donated to the Morris Animal Foundation.
   

“Shining Dog – Shadowy Wolf” is Conni Miller’s last book, the result of her years of research into the history of the dog-human relationship.  This 24-chapter manuscript traces the parallel development of domestic dogs and wolves in legend and literature from their beginning up to the 1700’s when the selective pedigree breeding of dogs began to be practiced.  Appended is an extensive bibliography of nearly 900 references.  There has been no attempt to edit Conni’s manuscript or extend her text into modern times.  This is the original manuscript released in Conni’s own words!

AT LAST... A KEY FOR YOU!

Introducing the new video

A Key To Movement
by Karen G. Armistead

A Key To Movement shows mostly Afghan Hounds, partly because they are beautiful and partly because their coat makes it so difficult to see how the dog is moving.  This video organizes your looking.  It directs you to specific places where bones can always be seen regardless of coat or patterns of color.

The video gives you a method or technique that applies to all breeds.  When you have learned to see through the coat of an Afghan Hound, you have learned to SEE!  And you will be able to evaluate the movement of any breed.

If you are a dog fancier, show a dog, want to breed good and healthy dogs, or want someday to judge the breed you love, A Key To Movement is a must.  What distinguishes this video is that for the first time the action is slowed down enough so that we see what is actually happening when a dog walks and trots.  NO OTHER VIDEO HAS DONE THIS!

2 Hours running time.
