Downsides or Disadvantages to Ownership

While Afghan Hounds are beloved for their beauty and unique temperament, there are some downsides or challenges to consider when owning this breed:

Grooming Commitment: The long coat of Afghan Hounds requires daily grooming, which can be time-consuming and costly if done professionally. 
Independence: Afghan Hounds are known for their independence, which can make training a bit more challenging. 
Reserved Nature: They may be reserved around strangers, which may not be suitable for households seeking an overtly sociable or protective breed. 
Exercise Needs: While not excessively high-energy, they do require regular exercise to maintain their health and happiness.
