Are Afghan Hounds high-energy?

No, Afghan Hounds are not high-energy. While they need to exercise daily, which may include running and short bursts of intense activity, they tend to have a moderate energy level throughout the day and can remain quite calm as long as they have daily access to exercise. Afghan Hounds who have access to a large area to run at full speed for short bursts often spend the rest of their day relaxing. However, if they are consistently cooped up and denied daily runs, Afghan Hounds can become (understandably) stressed, restless, and destructive.
