I don’t recommend getting a dog fixed unless medically necessary. If you expect to get one of ours neutered, you should wait until they are fully grown – at about a year old. Do you expect to get this dog spayed or neutered?

Clear selection

Clear selection

Do you realize there a number of normal puppy behaviors (as with any puppy) that are possibly objectionable to you? Those manageable behaviors may have to be dealt with up until the age of two or so. They may end up being inconvenient, expensive, or time consuming to manage. I can send you a list. *

Clear selection

Training from a young age is really helpful. Besides Come, Sit, Down, Leave it, etc. there are many fun things Afghan Hounds can learn that will make dog ownership more fun and less hassle. Are you in a position to spend a few minutes every day training a puppy?*

Clear selection

Do have an easy way to send photos to us so we can see how he appears as he grows up and matures? This is not a rhetorical question. If you get a dog from us, we expect you to provide us with photos and updates as to their wellbeing. *

By answering ‘Yes’ you certify on your oath that if you get a puppy or adult Afghan Hound from us and at some point are unable to care for it, that you will notify Brian Wood and give him first opportunity to take the dog back. You will not resell it, turn it in to a shelter or rescue organization, or give it away “free to a good home”. *
