As the owner of the Afghan Hound may love them, not all of them are suitable for the show ring. Each type of dogs have something called "breed standards," which means when the dog is entered into the incident shows that they are the judges on certain criteria established by the American Kennel Club. For Afghan Hounds, breed standards will vary according to the country where the dog show was held, but there are several standards used to assess whether the dog or not suitable for competition.
Ears: must be set low in the skull and covered with long hair and smooth which is typical of the breed.
Eyes: dark coloring with a triangular shape required.
Neck: long and needs to be defined, giving the appearance of graceful breed dogs accounted for.
Mouth: the upper teeth closely overlapping needs that cause ordinary bite.
Shoulders: must be strong and muscular, but not excessive.
Feet: should be long and wide, covered entirely with long, thick hair, slender, toes should be curled. Hind feed must have exactly the same characteristics, but not as wide as the front.
Symbol: should be long and smooth, extending over the ribs, shelter and a dog wing. Hair from the forehead should be long and smooth, with typical-knot on his head. All colors are acceptable, but white marks or spots on the face is considered a fault and will be punished in the show.
