What breed to get next? Will already have an Afghan Hound? What age to get the new puppy?

I’m getting my new Afghan Hound puppy (most likely a male) in 10 weeks time. I will be entering him in agility and possibly conformation. He will be neutered and will be thoroughly socialized and trained with other dogs before I dare consider purchasing another.

I’d say get your Afghan and decide how well you like that breed. A second one would play the best, esp. if you get a spayed female.

If you want to show in conformation, Afghans are a tough breed to start in…keeping them in show coat is no easy task.
And of course conformation dogs are intact, not neutered.

The breeds you list are all completely different. Bloodhounds are very left field. Not easy to keep in the house, due to huge slobber factor.

Opposite sexes usually get along the easiest for a novice owner. But many breeders won’t sell a beginner a show quality female, but may sell you a male. At least that’s been my experience. I would try to get a compatible breed to the Afghan. Another Sighthound if not another Afghan. Some breeds play completely different and some almost don’t seem to understand the other breeds’ signals.

Show quality is more about structure, movement and breed type rather than color or prettiness at least in Sighthounds.
