Removal from Kythera, with its extensive almond-grove exercising area, to an Azores isle with limited exercising facilities, makes the decision positive, the end!! Years 1990 to 1992 were years in which Turkumans returned to the USA, to those who want the famed Turkuman type, with the high-stepping gait, bare pasterns, high-carried, ringed-tip tail and that strange characteristic which seems exclusive in the Afghan Hound of a highly perfumed area on the back of the neck, and the self-same personality of immense charm, cleverness, loyalty and being highly trainable - for e.g. J de BL was able to train her Afghans to companion her owls and hawks (as seen on many photographs), Also skilled rat catchers, and very reliable guards Recent comments on Turkumans.
