The head is surmounted by a topknot of long silky hair. The ears are long, set approximately on level with outer corners of the eyes, the leather of the ear reaching nearly to the end of the dog's nose, and covered with long silky hair.
Nose is of good size, black in color.
The neck is of good length, strong and arched, running in a curve to the shoulders which are long and sloping and well laid back. Showing of short hair on cuffs on either front or back legs is permissible. Moving with head and tail high, the whole appearance of the Afghan Hound is one of great style and beauty. Aloof and dignified, yet gay. Blank Thank you for visiting this site.
