Pharaoh Hound – Clownish, Loyal And Protective
The Maltese name of the basal breed Pharoah Hounds, Kelb tal-Fenek, roughly translates to rabbit dog showing their affinity for hunting. The sleek, athletic Pharoah Hound suits novice parents while adapting well to apartment living. Prices average between $1,800 and $2,500. They’re affectionate but equally strong-willed dogs who love companionship.
Most owners teach their Pharoah Hounds to smile, which reveals blushing of their cheeks. A rose color forms on their nose and ears when soaking up love or excited. They’re not suited to being a guard dog but need to be kept on a leash when not home. Their hunting instincts can cause their obedience to switch off.
