Afghan hounds have always been one of my favorite dogs. I painted this wind blown Abstract Impressionist painting to show the beauty, grace, and ethereal quality of this beautiful dog. On a windy day the breeze blows through its long flowing hair.
AFGHAN HOUNDS;
THEY'RE ONE OF THE MOST ANCIENT DOG BREEDS.
This dog breed is so old that legend has it that the Afghan hound was the dog rescued on Noah’s Ark. More likely, the dogs came over into Afghanistan with Alexander the Great’s army. (There are rock carvings showing the distinct-looking dogs in caves in Afghanistan to support this theory.)
THEY WERE USED TO HUNT.
They are capable of hunting and thinking independently and they need very little direction out in the field.
THEY’RE AS FAST AS RACEHORSES
The average Afghan hound can reach speeds of up to 40 mph.
THEY’RE SIGHTHOUNDS
These dogs have dolichocephalic heads, which gives them a field of vision of 270 degrees.
PICASSO WAS INSPIRED BY HIS AFGHAN
His Afghan hound, Kabul. Kabul appeared in many of his paintings with his wife, Jacqueline, and his statue Tête (Maquette pour la sculpture en plein air du Chicago Civic Center) is inspired by Jacqueline, but features the long nose of his Afghan hound.
Afghan hounds are a sturdy breed and generally don’t have many health concerns they can live 14 yrs.
