Coloring pages of animals are some of the most popular on this site. I have decided to take my dog coloring pages to the next stage by adding specific pages for particular dog breeds. You can use these to educate your kids on the different breeds of dogs, particularly when they get tired of coloring the same cartoon dogs over and over. While some of the pages may be cartoon dogs, we will do our best to find realistic coloring pages of dogs as well.

The first dog we'll feature is the Afghan Hound in these Afghan Hound dog coloring pages.

The Afghan Hound is considered one of the oldest known breeds. It is an ancient breed derived from Middle Eastern sighthounds with roots that date back to ancient Egypt. The Afghan hound was used by nomadic tribes as a coursing hound to capture hare and gazelle for food. The Afghan Hound is well known even today of having an acute prey drive. The Kings of Afghanistan from years ago would breed a kennel of these hounds with these purposes in mind alone.

This project of adding as many dog breeds as possible may take awhile. Please add your comments as to which dog breeds you would like to see and we will focus on those first.
