EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the northeastern region of Afghanistan, known as Khorrasan, in the year 1953, showcases the regal and majestic Champion Cleopatra of Khorrasan, proudly owned by Mr. Snelling. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of the Afghan Hound, a breed renowned for its distinctive elegance and ancient lineage. The Champion Cleopatra, with her striking copper-red coat, piercing eyes, and erect ears, exudes an aura of grace and power. Her muscular build and athletic stance suggest her readiness for the chase, a trait inherent in the Afghan Hound's breeding as a hunting dog. The backdrop of the rugged, arid landscape of Khorrasan adds to the photograph's allure, emphasizing the harmony between the dog and its environment. The Afghan Hound, believed to have originated in this region, has adapted to the challenging terrain, making it an ideal companion for the nomadic tribes of Afghanistan. Mr. Snelling, a passionate dog lover and breeder, was fortunate enough to own this exceptional specimen of the Afghan Hound breed. The Champion Cleopatra's win in various dog shows during that time further attests to her exceptional qualities. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring beauty and elegance of the Afghan Hound but also a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Afghanistan and its connection to this ancient breed.
