1. Afghan Hound

The Afghan Hound is perhaps the most well-known long-haired dog breed. These pups look like they came straight out of a shampoo commercial. Just take a look at that silky-smooth hair! We wonder what type of conditioner these dogs are using because they surely know what the best options on the market are.

The Afgan Hound has this coat because it needed it in the past in order to protect it from the harsh weather of Afganistan’s mountains. Today, this dog is not living in the mountains anymore, but it has kept its long and beautiful coat.

These pups are real athletes that, like any hound, love to hunt. Playing fetch is a really good idea. Also, they like to run, so they need a lot of space.

The Afghan Hounds need you to be all about grooming. If you want this dog to always have a silky coat, you need to be ready for many hours of brushing and also for a routine of bathing with special shampoo and using condone afterward.
