In 1990 Chucky or Charlie as he was often called, came to us as a playmate to Gable, and yes he was my very first Afghan. A very blond Afghan who has taught us so much and as of this day, still rules the house and everyone in it. Yes we are always happy to have the pleasure to serve him and tend to all of his needs. Just ask him as he gets very verbal when he wants something. Yes Chucky is a very intelligent dog and the person that rated Afghans close to the bottom in intelligence in comparison to other dogs obviously did not know Afghans. Chucky still enjoys his days in our 7 acre pasture to roam and run with all the other dogs and is a most beloved friend and companion.
