The Afghan's floor-length, silky coat is glamorous and unforgiving; it mats to the skin fast, especially behind the ears, in the armpits, and across the hindquarters. The saddle of short hair along the spine is left natural. Groomers bathe and blow-dry it straight, then line-brush thoroughly, because brushing a dry, dirty coat only breaks it.
