Country of Origin:
Malta - National Dog of Malta - Probably one of the original domestic dogs. Phoenicians brought these dogs to Malta in 1000 BC where they bred true for almost 2,000 years. Brought to Britain in the 1930's, to America in 1960's, and recognized in Canada in 1979 and in America in 1983. Called Pharoah Hound because of its resemblance to artistic reproductions of the dog god Anubis.
Character:
This dog is loyal, affectionate, playful, brave and calm. It has a very strong hunting instinct.

Pharoah Hounds are somewhat wary around strangers. They get along well with children. They can be rather dominant around other males. Early training is necessary in order for the Pharoah Hound to learn to live with the family cat.
