About The Breed

The Pharaoh Hound is a sleek, elegant sighthound breed known for its graceful appearance, intelligence, and speed. Originally bred in ancient Egypt for hunting game such as rabbits and small deer, the Pharaoh Hound has a refined, athletic build with a short, glossy coat that comes in tan or red, often with white markings. This breed is independent, intelligent, and affectionate with its family, although it can be reserved or aloof with strangers. Known for its keen hunting instincts, the Pharaoh Hound has excellent sight and a strong prey drive, making it a natural at running and chasing. It is agile and fast, capable of reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour. Pharaoh Hounds are friendly, playful, and loyal to their owners but can be a bit stubborn or independent when it comes to training. They require regular exercise, such as daily walks or runs in a secure, fenced area, and enjoy engaging in activities that satisfy their hunting instincts, like lure coursing. Their short coat is low-maintenance, but they do need regular attention to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. The Pharaoh Hound is best suited for active families or individuals who can provide space and consistent exercise.
