Your Pharaoh Hound strikes the perfect balance between a companion animal and a sporting dog. He is independent, loves to run and thrives on a good amount of physical stimulation, but is also quiet, patient and content. His desire to hunt means that he has a huge amount of stamina. You’re more likely to get tired on a walk with your Pharaoh Hound before he shows any signs of slowing down. A brilliant breed with children, your Pharaoh Hound is a wonderful pet for families as he is gentle and incredibly loyal. Your Pharaoh Hound can be a bit wary of strangers, but will soon warm up to them once he realises they can be trusted. It’s important to socialise your Pharaoh Hound from an early age so that he knows not to be too timid when meeting new people or other dogs.
