The Afghan Hound is a hound that is distinguished by its thick, fine, silky coat and its tail with a ring curl at the end. The breed is selectively bred for its unique features in the cold mountains of Afghanistan. Its local name is Taxi Spay (Pashto: تاژي سپی) or Sag-e Nazi (Dark: سگ تازی). Other names for this breed are Nazi, Balk Hound, Baruch Hound, Banzai Hound, Shalwar Hound, Kabul Hound, Calendar Hound or sometimes incorrectly African Hound. They have the ability to run and turn well.
History of the Afghan Hound has been identified as a basal breed that predates the emergence of the modern breeds in the 19th century. It is most closely related to the Saudi.
Once out of Afghanistan, the history of the Afghan Hound breed became entwined with that of the very earliest dog shows and the Kennel Club (UK). Various sight hounds were brought to England in the 1800s by army officers returning from British India (which at the time included), Afghanistan, and Persia, and were exhibited at dog shows, which were then just becoming popular, under various names, such as Barry hounds. They were also called "Persian Greyhounds" by the English, in reference to their own indigenous sight hound.
One dog in particular, Hardin, was brought in 1907 from India by Captain Tariff, and became the early ideal of breed type for what was still called the Persian Greyhound. Hardin was the basis of the writing of the first breed standard in 1912, but breeding of the dogs was stopped by World War I.
