Once you get to the best-in-group or best-in-show level, I don't see how a judge decides who to award to. They all look great. The judge usually feels the skeleton, and emphasis is placed on the trot, but I don't see the difference when they trot. Is it like some breeds where they want the dog to appear to 'float,' that is, the legs move but there's minimal vertical movement of the back and head? Is it based on attentiveness, i.e. looking up at the handler at all times? I don't get it.

Afghan Hounds tend to resist being told what to do, and housebreaking is no exception. Expect four to six months of consistent crate training before you see results.
