They can gallop at 35 -40 mph.
rita davies is correct…..the afghan can galloo about 35-40 mph
In one study they found that they can step out at 43 mph.
I LOVED these dogs… best in show…they are just exquisite! Had to check, because I had no idea, but an Afghan can run up to 45km an hour – they must look fab with all their hair flowing!!
