Welcome Newcomers

Interested in buying a puppy or acquiring a rescue Afghan Hound?  We will help you find that special puppy from a reputable breeder or put you in touch with one of our first-rate rescue groups.  Please contact k.d.amos@comcast.net for information and referrals. 

Do you need help with an Afghan Hound that  you already own?

This page is specifically designed to help people new to the breed.   We are here to help you in any way we can with guidance on grooming, feeding, health issues, safety tips, showing, coursing, and any other questions that you may have.  Our all volunteer staff has many years of experience in our wonderful breed, and the members would like to share it with you.
