What To Expect When Caring For a Bakhmul (native Afghan hound)
Taking care of a Bakhmul isn’t rocket science but it’s definitely not a ‘set it and forget it’ kind of deal. You gotta keep that long, flowing coat brushed a few times a week so it doesn’t turn into a wild mane of tangles. And yeah, this big fella’s built for the outdoors, so prepare for plenty of runs, hikes, and off-leash shenanigans to keep it happy and healthy.
Heads up: while the Bakhmul is generally a tough cookie, it can sometimes fall prey to hip dysplasia and cataracts. Regular check-ups with the vet are a must – kind of like routine pit stops in a long road trip. And keeping an eye on its weight is more than just a suggestion; it’s pretty crucial to avoid putting too much strain on those joints during all that running around.
