The cards were intended to be inserted singly into packets of 10 cigarettes. The Afghan is a powerful long-limbed hound and, because of its natural hunting instincts, requires very little training in its own country. It was first exhibited in England in 1907.
Colourings vary but the golden-fawn finds much favour.
The cards were inserted singly into packets of 10 cigarettes. The Afghan Hounds have a very quaint appearance, the face and the top of the back being smooth, but the rest of the coat being long and flowing, with a topknot like a hood of long silky hair on the head. Built like a Persian Greyhound, these Afghan Hounds are more powerful. The colours are brindle, fawn, red, cream and white. Black muzzles and black eartips are common in brindles, fawns and reds.
