Breed overview
Pharaoh Hound
A.K.A.: Kelb tal-Fenek, Rabbit Dog, Egyptian Hound, Maltese Pharaoh Hound, Maltese Rabbit Hound, Pharaoh Dog, Pharaoh Hound of Malta
Overview:
The Pharaoh Hound is an elegant and ancient breed, originating from Malta where it’s known as Kelb tal-Fenek, though its lineage traces back to ancient Egypt. Physically, they are striking: medium-sized, with a slender yet muscular build, long graceful legs, and large, upright ears that give them an alert expression. Their short, glossy coat comes in various shades of tan or rich russet, often with white markings on the chest, toes, and tail tip. Temperamentally, Pharaoh Hounds are known for being intelligent, playful, and affectionate with their families, but can be reserved with strangers. They possess a strong prey drive and require secure outdoor spaces, making them less suitable for unsupervised apartment living, though they can adapt with sufficient daily exercise. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of a predisposition to certain conditions like bloat and sensitivity to anesthesia. Overall, they make wonderful, active companions for families who can provide consistent training and ample opportunity for their energetic spirit to flourish.
