Racing is fun for all Afghans and while they dont all 'get' chasing the furry thing that whizzes past it is a great day out for the entire family. There are lots of people at the tracks that will help you out if you are new or if you need someone to slip or catch your dogs.

You dont have to put your Afghans straight into a trap and in addition if you have other breeds bring them along and they are welcome to join in and race in the ABC's. I have even seem a Pomeranian having fun on the track!

Try it, your Afghans will thank you for it
