The purpose is to allow Afghan Hounds to run free in safety, as they leg it when they are loose!
Its just that any breed can have a go, so the only real purpose is fun and chat with like minded people.

Good and bad breeders everywhere Angie. If you do look steer clear of the ones that breed just to sell and dont keep any for themselves, those are the ones breeding for money alone and to supply the pet market, there are a lot that do that now, in all breeds, but Borders are very popular at present so be aware of it.
Decent, reputable breeders breed when they want one for themselves, and only breed for that reason, other breed "because they can" and they profit from it, and that is the sole reason.
If you want any pointers or numbers for that area pm me.
I am in the process of having another myself. This hopefully will be my foundation bitch, having exhibited Dogs for 20yrs, its perhaps time!
