Are Afghan Hounds good with kids?

No, Afghan Hounds aren’t typically good with kids because they are a very sensitive breed and don’t tend to do well with the spontaneous rambunctiousness of young children. They may do well with children who have been taught to be calm and gentle with dogs and to refrain from making sudden movements or loud sounds. These sensitive dogs do best when raised alongside respectful children from puppyhood or are introduced to older children who can better regulate their movements, voices, and emotions. 

As with any breed, it is recommended that you always supervise interactions between Afghan Hound and young children. It’s especially important with this breed to emphasize to children the importance of approaching dogs calmly, gently petting them, not bothering them when they’re eating or sleeping, and giving plenty of space when the pup is showing common signs of stress or discomfort.
