Yep - it's a belly band. His owner made me promise to keep it on him when he was inside my house - but I never saw him lift his leg inside the house (except during the very first 10 minutes inside - he peed on his own stuff, then I never saw him try again!)

He's an unaltered male and I have a houseful of (spayed) girls - his owner was just afraid that he'd try to mark territory. I don't think she needed to worry -but rather safe than sorry.

He didn't wear it at night, when he was crated or when he was outside; and when we were home with him, he just stayed by us anyway. He never had any opportunty to mark.

They're beautiful dogs. There is a man in my village that walks 6 at a time and a little terrier mix! It's a proper sight to see!

He's gorgeous.

He's gorgeous!

When I was growing up, there were a couple of Afghans who lived in a yard down the street, so those were the first "fancy" dogs I ever knew.

After owning a couple of Borzoi, though, I think I've had my fill of the sighthound temperament. They're too much like people. Aristocratic and somewhat lazy (though sweet) people.

I do so love Afghans. They are on my short list for future family additions, but I'm not sure due to temperament just like Quossom said. I spent a lot of time with one afghan that did not have a cat-like attitude and I just adored him. I have wondered if he was a-typical considering everything I have researched so far.
