About the Pharaoh Hound
Despite its name and depictions on ancient Egyptian tombs, the Pharaoh Hound is native to Malta, where it was expertly used for hunting rabbits. It's thought Phoenician sailors brought these dogs to Egypt, leading to their regal nomenclature. This striking and ancient breed, relatively new to the UK since the 1970s, offers a glimpse into canine history and a unique companion for those seeking an elegant and capable sighthound.
