Is He or Isn't He?



This is The Man's dog in Kabul. He says it comes with the house he's rented but he keeps referring to it as "my dog". So the question about this dog is, is he or isn't he an Afghan Hound?

I think he is.

Compare him with these Afghan Hounds.

A groomed one.


Shaven ones.


Look at their pointy snouts and the woolly feet. The same.

Sis thinks The Man's dog is an Irish Wolfhound, like this one:


I don't think so. Look how round this dog's snout is.

What do you think? Is Scraggy up there an Afghan Hound? What do you think, Sil? Is Scraggy the Jacob of Kabul or what?

There is no way anyone is going to the trouble of shaving that rumpled looking Seussian dog. It doesn't have an Afghan's coat.

I said PART Irish Wolfhound, because of the scrappy way it looks. Have you ever seen a shaved Irish Wolfhound? Long, pointy snout, although I'll give you that the nose is round. However, they are a giant breed, can be as high as 7 ft. So we'd need some perspective to know how big this dog is.

Take another look at Scraggy here.

He's an Afghan Hound.
