I think that over the years, I have had several breeds of dogs, and loved them all, each for their uniqueness.
Afghan Hounds are just so exotic looking and have those sad but beautiful faces. They also think nothing about jumping over your six foot fence and then going for a ten mile run afterwards. The kids and I spent many a frustrating afternoon trying to catch one that we had, and bring him back home ! He would run a little ways and then us think that he was ready to let us catch him finally. Just as we reached out a hand to take hold of his collar, off he would go again. I guess he thought we were great entertainment....
