Calypso - Backyard Agility 101!!
Calypso is my 6 yr old afghan......she's had fun with earning her conformation and field titles but is having fun with her new venture...agility! LOL
I wish I would have gotten into this when she was younger BUT we're still having fun and that's what matters!
LOL....I just love the tail!

Afghans are similar in additude of the other sighthound breeds. Aloof and dignified with strangers. Complete clowns with their friends and love to be and please whomever they decide is "their" human. They tend to be 1 person dogs, although they have their human friend's that come in a close 2nd, LOL. They also are very laid back but willing to be active if you are! They are easy to train as long as they think it's fun, so it's interesting having to be inventive to keep their interests and agility suits them well with their very athletic bodies. So different....but I've only had experience with toys.....and they've always been a little more up front about wanting attention, LOL.
