Afghan Hound Club of America, Inc.

Afghan Hound Club of America, Inc. raises Afghan hounds in Venice, FL, Sarasota County and the gulf coast near Tampa. It is affiliated with national canine registries and recommends regular health screens for hip, cardiac, and ophthalmologic conditions common to the breed. Puppies are reared in a home setting with daily handling and early socialization to support well-adjusted temperaments.

Each litter undergoes a veterinarian examination before joining a new home and includes guidance on the breed’s distinctive coat care. Puppies enjoy access to a secure fenced yard for daily exercise and are accustomed to family life. The club supports rescue efforts and hosts local gatherings for breeders and enthusiasts to exchange best practices.

Members receive ongoing support through detailed health records and periodic check-ins during each pup’s first year. Helen Stein values the breed’s heritage and promotes responsible ownership through educational events.
