In Malta, the Pharaoh Hound was bred to hunt rabbit and only the best hunters were used in selective breeding programs.

They were first imported into England in the early 1930's. In 1967 the first Pharaoh Hound was brought to the United States. The first litter was born in 1970.

They are intelligent, friendly and affectionate. They have great speed combined with his alertness and agility, which allow them to hunt by sight as well as scent. The outstanding feature of the Pharaoh Hound is their beautiful amber eyes.

They are very fond of children and are always willing to play. They have no "doggy odor," even when they're wet. Their willingness to please allows them to be trained quickly which makes them excel at hunting, obedience and coursing.

Their coats are short and glossy and can be tan, rich tan, or chestnut with white markings. Males are 23-25 inches tall, females 21-24 inches.
