Meet the breeder
I'm Edward K., the breeder behind Kominek Afghan Hounds located in Limestone, TN. Breeding Afghan Hounds since 2011, in the breed for 25 years, we strive to produce functional Afghan Hounds which can do well on the lure coursing field and succeed in the ring.
Q. & A. with Edward
Why did you start breeding?
We began breeding because we were disappointed with the functional capabilities of the show dogs and desired to mix in racing, hunting and country of origin Afghan Hounds while still being able to take them into the show ring, as well as returning to the look of the breed from when it was introduced to the West in the 20's, 30's and 40's.What makes your program special?
Our lines are a mix of conformation show stock, European racing stock, Western open field coursing stock and some Country of Origin (COO) lines. We strive to produce dogs which will finish in the show ring and excel on the field: coursing, racing and hunting. Our temperaments are solid and sane.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
