This Expensive Dog Breed Looks Like a Runway Model Wrapped in a Cloud
Of all the rare dog breeds in the world, each has their own special sauce that makes them stand out from the rest. Rare dogs bred from champion bloodlines to compete in all the shows come at a pretty high cost.
One of which is an Afghan Hound named Georgie, and he has the most glorious hair I've ever seen (and could never grow myself)! It's like he's wrapped up in a fluffy cloud, and this stunning boy is breaking hearts everywhere because of it!
Why Are Afghan Hounds So Expensive?
You can tell by looking at an Afghan Hound that they have the most luxurious locks around. These stunning dogs are a rarity in many regions, costing anywhere between $2,000 and $7,000 from a reputable breeder.
The cost is higher than most because many of these pups are bred from champion bloodlines specifically for show, which means they need more intensive care and maintenance when it comes to health.
When adopting one of these Hound dogs, consider all the money it takes for health testing for thyroid, hips, and eyes, as well as the high cost of having those luscious locks groomed from a pro (to prevent matting). Likewise, they need a high-protein diet and plenty of exercise to ensure their coats stay shiny and healthy. They're like actual human models!
Georgie's got it all going on, and I'm jealous of all that bouncy, beautiful hair, fit for a runway!
