Pharaoh Hound Information

Although considered a sighthound in America, the pharaoh hound hunts by both sight and scent, as well as hearing. It has an unexaggerated greyhound-like build, combining grace, power and speed, which enables it to run nimbly along rocky walls and ground. It has a good nose. Its large, mobile ears help it follow animals underground. Slightly longer than tall, the gait is free and flowing, with head held high. The coat is short and glossy.

The svelte pharaoh hound is more than a gracious addition to the home (though it surely is that) — it is a keen hunter and an exuberant chaser. Although it is calm indoors, it loves to run. It is sensitive, loving, gentle and good with children and other dogs, but it may chase strange animals. It tends to be reserved with strangers; some pharaoh hounds are even timid. It is independent but willing to please. The breed has the unique characteristic of "blushing" when excited, with the nose and ears turning a rosy color.
