Females range from 21” to 24” and males from 23” to 25”. Their body construction is lean and lithe. Females usually weigh between 35 and 50 pounds, males 45 to 65 pounds. Their coat is short, sparse and sheds very little. They have no odor, even when wet, since they lack coat oil. Everything about their physical make up is adapted to a warm climate. Their blood vessels are near the surface of their skin, with no fat covering to insulate them. They give off heat very quickly through their coat and in those large ‘cooling fin’ ears. Ear tips can freeze in colder climates if the dog is outside for an extended period of time. Pharaoh Hounds love a romp in the snow, but should wear coats if they are going to be outside for any length of time. They love the summers of course!
Pharaohs can be aloof; curious but cautious; independent, extremely intelligent, and strong willed. But no two are alike. Several generations of breeding, since the first Pharaohs to the US in the 1967, have produced many more Pharaohs that are more of a ‘social butterfly’ with a higher will to please.
The Pharaoh Hound is easy going and gentle. He is regal and holds himself above the average. They are fun loving and affectionate with their owners, and when quite pleased with themselves and/or their actions, will blush. Some Pharaohs also smile big toothy grins. They glow with excitement or happiness and can exhibit a great sense of humor, in the nature of a first class clown.
