Love that he keeps calling him good lad. Love this groomers accent. Love these dogs. They were so popular in the late 60s and 70s. I would love to bring them back.
Not so many are left,anymore, though years ago I had 5 afghans..papers & all.(And a mutt I found & adopted).. Did all my own grooming & showed them also....the afghans. Now, we're admonished to choose from dogs that are already here & need adopting. Which they all do, both & all do. Plus the prices for purebreds has skyrocketed as the new kids on the block have also...designer dogs. Like Labradoodles...an actual breed now I've read, or Puggles or Chiweenies..The purebred is still worth owning..& showing dogs is great, too.They all are. Nowadays, people are following instead of leading.Someone gets a certain dog..say that a sports figure or movie star has...then they want one just like theirs...not go to say ... a dog show & watch many & choose one you like for yourself. Remember Lassie or Rin TinTin? I would never think of living without a dog. The regal, yet humble dog Your friend for life. Purebreds have had certain things bred into them over hundreds or thousands.of years, but No matter what..when you get a dog, they will be your friend for life.Your best friend(s).
I’m lucky that in Australia I found 1 litter of puppies for sale, might be getting one 😆 and don’t worry I wash my Jack Russell terriers once every 2-3 weeks, and will do the same to my Afghan if not more often.
This is an amazing grooming video for Afghans. We had one back around 69-70. She was papered and had the perfect tail according to professionals. We didn't do anything to get it to curl that way, it just was. She was a beautiful dog and very funny. Loved to get loose and run around on the golf course across from our house. People would stop and watch her run. Watching her run fast and free was an amazing sight. Sadly she chewed up one to many pairs of my dad's leather shoes so she went to a new home. They bred her and she had 17 puppies. It turned out she was to big to show. She was bigger than any of the males we went to see. I will always remember her. This grooming video is amazing. It gives so many tips on the right and wrong way to groom them. Clearly you never want to take an Afghan Hound to a groomer who is not experienced in grooming them. Thanks for bringing back those fond memories of her.
Beautiful dog, beautiful groom... But I was cringing as you began to brush the wet coat. I was taught to ALWAYS begin brushing the tips of the hair and with each stroke place the brush just a bit higher towards the body. This opens up the ends of the hair so that as you move upwards, brushing down, you are moving the strands to where they are not crossed... Instead of pushing crossed hairs into tighter mini tangles, which is what I was seeing as you brushed. Just saves me time not having to open out the tangles I have made, and less stress on the dog's hair.
Wow! What an amazing presentation. Love this breed, but you are correct. Serious high maintenance. Love your ethics on how to work with the dog during the groom. Lots of praise and just being gentle. Had to leave the profession due to the abuse my coworkers were inflicting on our clients pups. You are an amazing Professional Groomer!!! Love your video💝😊
Wow I love the before and afters. I also love how insightful you are during the entire grooming process as a groomer myself I really admire you and how you do things. I plan on having an Afghan hound soon and now I have better idea of the maintenance on this breed. Well done!!! And thank you.
Oh my friend... nice work!! so careful, with many patience, zero stress, is a perfect demonstration for me: I want learn more and more everyday... Thank so much!! Greetings from Spain 😁🇪🇸💙🇬🇧
All things considered, a pretty good video---especially if you have no idea where to start. I had Afghans for about 20 years (I now have Whippets)m but i still have grooming clients who could use this info.
Thank you. Great info. Just got 2 afghans. I want their coats to be beautiful. Don't mind the high maintenance. How do you keep an afghan from scratching. They are on flea control.
I just found this video - thanks for making this! I used to show Affies (many, many years ago), I currently just have one male Afghan Hound named Journey. He;s 14 years old, so we keep his coat lightly clipped
Bathing once a week is best to keep your dog looking ready for a show. Massage panagenics leave in conditioner in to dry coat and leave overnight. Next day apply panagenics shampoo on dry coat. Rinse. Apply panagenics hydrating spray liberally on coat and then blow dry. For stubborn stains on feet and tail, use groomers goop and rinse off. Now you will have a squeaky clean show ready dog.
where do you get a stand up drier we had giant schnauzers when we were youger its been 20 yrs we were showing them we used a reguler hair drier on them
Her hair looks like mine!😂😂😂 I can’t even keep up with the hair on my Westie! Some job keeping up with your dog with her hair. She’s a beauty though !😉😉😉
I have a 10 year old female Afghan and she's always had the Madrid beard is that natural or was that due to bad breeding I've never seen another female afghan with one but she's definitely got it
anyone have any idea, where I could purchase hair from these dogs? I would love to use some in a few of my dolls. I usually use mohair, but I would love to try out dog hair fiber.
I cannot imagine having this breed. its skin and bones and so fragile you have to be careful when putting him in and out of bath? I have 2 big caucasian shepherds - one is 88kg another 93kg and even when they have some disagreements between each other and they fight they rarely get injured. I would be worried to even hug this afgan hound not to break some of its bones.
It is not the body which is sensitive, it is their dispositions. In almost 40 years (1981), I have only had one instance where I had to see vet care for an injury...a fight between my female at and my sisters english shepherd bitch. Other than that, my dogs run at 40 miles an hour, body slam each other, and love a good natured sibling fight..no problem.
Edith Seelhoff NO, they do not shed! The only exception is when they transform to their adult hair and shed their puppy hair. They grow single strand hair just as you or I do. They do not have fur with an undercoat like most dogs. They shed once and it is done😎👍💕🐾🐾
