As an ancient and noble dog breed, the Afghan dog has won the favor of dog lovers around the world with its elegant temperament and unique appearance.

But in China, Afghan dogs are a banned breed, even if they are rich. Of course, there is a reason why Afghan dogs are banned.

Afghan Dog, native to the Afghanistan region of Central Asia, has a history of thousands of years. They were important assistants in hunting and guarding in ancient times and were known as the "Hounds of the Empire".

It is precisely because they live in relatively cold mountains such as Afghanistan and eastern Iran that Afghan dogs have beautiful hair to resist the cold climate.

When running, the smooth hair makes the Afghan dog look very noble, as elegant as a "prince". It is no wonder that people call it the most "noble" dog.

It is tall and powerful, with thick coat and confident and independent personality. However, the intelligent and loyal Afghan dog is very independent and aggressive.

Without adequate training and socialization, Afghan dogs are extremely wary of strangers and other animals, and may actively attack, causing safety risks.

Perhaps due to their independent and confident character, the Afghan dog dislikes being restrained and restricted. This kind of character also makes it very difficult to raise Afghan dogs in daily life.

What makes the owner laugh or cry the most is that despite taking good care of it, the Afghan dog doesn't obey the command. Long years of outdoor hunting life have made Afghan dogs very smart and have their own ideas.

By the way, Afghan dogs have great tempers. One second, it may seem docile and obedient; the next second, it may go crazy, causing even the owner to suffer.

Just imagine: if you take an Afghan dog out, and it suddenly starts to go crazy and refuses to obey commands in a crowded place, how high is the risk index?

The tall and unruly Afghan dog is difficult for its owner to control in a short period of time. Invisibly, it also increases public safety risks. It is safer to ban them directly.

Rabies is also one of the reasons why the country bans Afghan dogs. It is too big and powerful, so if it is infected with rabies virus, the risk of transmission is particularly high.

Some people may say: Now that there are vaccines, wouldn’t it be better to just take Afghan dogs for injections? In fact, vaccines are not a panacea, especially when it comes to preventing rabies, so it is better not to take any chances.

Considering that the Afghan dog is a large dog with a bad temper and strong aggression, the country decided to list it as a banned dog breed.

If you think about it from another perspective, it is reasonable for Afghan dogs to be banned. It is entirely for the safety of the breeders and the people around them. After all, no matter how smart a dog is, there are times when his emotions lose control.

Everyone is more afraid of Afghan dogs than they love them. In addition to China, many countries also ban Afghan dogs.

Although in Afghanistan, there are scenes of Afghan dogs dressed as "princes" and "princesses" entering and exiting hotels, there are also strict requirements in terms of breeding. After all, safety and health are top priorities.

It can only be said that under the noble appearance of the Afghan dog, it hides its violent and ferocious nature. At any time, do not be deceived by its noble appearance to avoid being injured by "evil dogs".
