About Khandi

Khandi is an Afghan Kuchi Dog...a mixed breed dog comprised of Anatolian Shepherd, Atlas Mountain Dog, and I believe in her case, Greyhound. Her hometown was Khandahar, making her a Kuchi dog of the desert variety. She is medium sized at 40 pounds.

Relaxing Like A Dog Should

We still see subtle changes in Khandi's personality on a daily basis.  A few months ago, if we were all sitting in our living room watching TV, the three labs would be with us and the lone Afghani would be in the family room lying by herself.  She didn't seem to have the need to be near us that the labs did.  Over the past weeks we have noticed that Khandi has a new favorite spot.  One day we covered the ottoman with a blanket, and she has made this perch in the living room her own.  She now wants to be with us almost all of the time.  I think of it as her throne, where she can oversee the comings and goings of the room and her family.  On a recent Sunday afternoon, this is how she enjoyed NFL football with us.  She tucks her nose into her tail and curls up in a little ball.  I love having her close by and part of our family.  I usually can't resist sneaking over and kissing her on that little pink part of her nose.   P.S. She's a Broncos fan.
