HI LET ME WELCOME YOU TO THE HOME OF HERAT AFGHAN HOUNDS. MY NAME IS HOWARD AND I LIVE IN A SMALL SOUTH DERBYSHIRE VILLAGE ALONG WITH MY WIFE ANITA AND OUR FOUR LOVELY AFGHAN GIRLS. WE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE BREED FOR OVER 20 YEARS. IT ALL STARTED FOR US WAY BACK IN THE EARLY 1980'S.WE WERE BREEDING AND SHOWING OUR GERMAN
SHEPHERD DOGS. ANITA HAD TAKEN ONE OF OUR PUPPIES TO A RING CRAFT CLASS AND ON HER RETURN HOME TALKED ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL AFGHAN HOUND THAT SHE HAD SEEN WITH LONGING IN HER EYES. AS THE DAYS AND WEEKS WENT BY MY EARS HAD BEEN CHEWED OFF BY ANITA ABOUT THIS AFGHAN HOUND, SHE FINALLY GOT ME TO GO TO AN AFGHAN SHOW JUST TO HAVE A LOOK. WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY I ALSO FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS BREED. SO WE STARTED OUR SEARCH FOR AN AFGHAN PUPPY, AFTER A FEW MONTHS GOING TO THE SHOWS AND TALKING TO
DIFFERENT BREEDERS WE FINALLY FOUND OUR A BREEDER WITH A LITTER OF PUPPIES. SO OF WE WENT TO MAKE A VISIT TO THE HOME OF MR. GEORGE GILES TO SEE HIS LITTER AND THERE WE FOUND OUR FIRST PUPPY, A LITTLE BLACK MASK GOLD GIRL. I WAS STILL A LITTLE WORRIED HOW SHE WOULD FIT IN THE KENNEL WITH THE GERMAN SHEPHERDS, BUT I NEEDN'T HAVE
WORRIED STEFFIE FOUND HER FEET STRAIGHT AWAY PUTTING THE GERMAN SHEPHERDS STRAIGHT AS TO WHO WAS THE BOSS. STEFFIE STARTED US ON THE ROAD TO BEING
OWNED BY THESE BEAUTIFUL HOUNDS, AND I DON'T REGRET A MOMENT.
