A little look at life together.
Getting to know the Pharaoh Hound
The Pharaoh Hound is an athletic Maltese hunting dog with large upright ears, a fine coat, and a keen interest in moving quarry. Arrange secure running opportunities and consider how to manage chase instincts around everyday distractions.
An everyday routine
Make space for substantial daily activity and short learning sessions. A busy weekend cannot replace a dependable weekday routine.
Coat care to plan for
A relatively straightforward coat still needs routine checks, appropriate brushing, and attention to nails and teeth. Ask a groomer to demonstrate tools that suit this coat.
Before deciding, meet the individual dog and ask about their history, handling preferences, and current routine. Breed tendencies are a starting point, not a promise about personality.
