Afghan Hound as a Guard Dog

If your looking for protection, the Afghan Hound is a good dog. 07

Afghan Hounds are gentle animals but they are not very friendly. It may time them a bit of time to warm up to a family friend. They will certainly alert you to potential strangers approaching. It's a good idea to reward your Afghan Hound with a small dog treat if he barks at something he hears outside. Giving him a small dog treat will reinforce this protective behavior.
