Motto of the Pharaoh Hound Club of America

 

"... a great responsibility .. to keep faith with 5,000 years of true breeding...they must shun man's natural tendency to 'improve' which so often in dog breeding terms means to alter out of all recognition"

*Quote originally adopted by the Pharaoh

Hound Club - United Kingdom - July 1971

Our mission is to preserve and protect the qualities of our breed and to share our knowledge with others. We hope this web site is helpful to you in learning about all things Pharaoh Hound.

FROM THE TOMB OF ANTEFA II (approximately 2300 B.C.)  This is the drawing from which the Pharaoh Hound Club of America, Inc. has created it's logo.

 

From a translation of a letter of the XIX Egyptian Dynasty:

"The red long-tailed dog goes at night into the stalls of the hills.  He is better than the long faced dog.  He makes no delay in hunting, his face glows like a God and he delights to do his work"
