Some dogs have made fashion blockbusters, but as soon as they get into the water, any sense of fashion disappears, like a ball of seaweed.
Afghan Hounds are born with long, silky hair, and look like medieval aristocrats, with a 100% return rate wherever they go. Some foreign fashion magazines will also invite Afghan hounds to shoot together, and they are indeed very suitable for some luxury brands, and the effect is excellent. But as a fashion darling, the Afghan Hound exposes its shortcomings as soon as it hits the water. One of the owners took the Afghan hound Moody to the pool to swim, and as a result, the fairy-like long flowing hair immediately split open and turned into a ball of seaweed in the water.
Because dogs rarely go into the water, they are not very good at swimming the first time they go into the water, and they directly use the way of the outer eight to keep sliding. In addition, the hair of the Afghan Hound is too long, and it is much heavier after absorbing water, and it is very difficult to swim. After a while, the dog really couldn't swim and immediately threw himself into the arms of his owner to rest. Swimming in fur is indeed a difficult challenge.
Moody doesn't know much about swimming, so it looks like a ball of seaweed. But the Afghan hound who can swim, don't say beauty after launching, it feels a little weird. The Afghan Hound's swimming posture under a high-speed camera is like this: the hair covers the whole body, swimming slowly in the water, almost like a new creature! Although the dog perfectly shows what is called "silky smoothness", it looks like something has become a sperm. Some netizens said they couldn't accept it: they felt like water ghosts. No way, the long hair of the Afghan hound is so flowing on the ground and in the water.
In the special mountainous environment of the Middle East, the Afghan hound grows a thick, delicate coat to protect itself. It is this long flowing hair, whether male or female Afghan hounds, will be called "dog world quanzhi sage". But this long hair is not well cared for, and it will change from a fairy with long hair flowing to a sloppy stray dog. Kevin, a Beijing-based owner, once shared his monthly expenses for raising An afghan hounds, and the grooming fee alone was jaw-dropping.
Kevin has spent nearly 100,000 yuan just to purchase battle's bathing items. Every month, battle spends 4500 yuan on bath products, for this flowing long hair soft and beautiful, the owner can be described as a bloody cost. In addition to buying a variety of bath care products, the owner will also spend 6-8 hours a day combing the dog's hair, and every other week or so, the battle will take a bath, and it will take nearly 8 hours. After taking a bath and then slowly blowing dry, all this is done by the owner alone, without full love for the dog, it is difficult to imagine that someone would spend so much money and time and energy to take care of a dog.
As a hound with its own ideas, the Afghan Hound is honored to get the "penultimate first" in the dog IQ ranking. For this "honor", the Afghan Hound does not want to admit it. After all, they are only compared to personalities, and they don't feel stupid. If you are stupid, how can you be a hound? However, the IQ ranking can still be referenced, the Afghan Hound is indeed a more difficult dog to train, the owner said 100 sentences, it can listen to a sentence is very good.
Although the Afghan Hound has good looks and strength (hunting), it is still necessary to nag: this dog is not easy to raise, do not try it at will!
