The article writer is lame... He didn't even include any good sites for Afghan hounds.... (posted by anon user)

The writer is whatever volunteer decides to drop in and add a little bit of knowledge, just as everywhere on wikipedia. If you'd like to find some good sites and add them (noncommercial, informative sites about the breed), I'm sure that other future browsers of this article would be glad.

[edit] AKC Standards

I have removed the following: "American Kennel Club (AKC) standards require all Afghan Hounds to have white on their chest." This is not an AKC standard for Afghans. [1] --Satori Son 14:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Person dog"

I recently removed:

The Afghan's delicate temperament and long, flowing hair has earned it the widely-used nickname of "person dog".

I can't find reference to the nickname anywhere (except for sites that have scraped Wikipedia since December, when it was entered). The editor who added it (68.174.123.113) made a similar suspicious edit to Squirrel, but has also made a couple of constructive edits, so perhaps it isn't vandalism. Nevertheless, it doesn't appear to be "widely-used." -Three white leopards 18:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I fully support your removal, and am actually a little embarrassed I didn't catch this one myself. As you, I could not find any third-party sources that use that term for Afghan Hounds. -- Satori Son 18:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
