The Afghan Hound is a blond, female dog with a long pointy snout.
The Afghan Hound appeared for the first time in episode 214 of The Muppet Show and was thereafter seen in the background of many Muppet sketches.
She was performed by Louise Gold in her more prominent speaking appearances, which included episodes 216 ("Mad Dogs and Englishmen"), and 519 ("Maybe It's Because I'm a Londoner").
The Afghan Hound appeared in the background of the "E-I-E-I-OR" sketches on Muppets Tonight and in the opening theme of Mopatop's Shop.
The character returned with a speaking role in The Muppets as one of the Muppets taking calls for The Muppets Telethon, this time performed by Alice Dinnean. When Kermit comments that they are ready to take the calls for pledges, the Hound is seen ordering a pizza on the phone.
