An illustrated discussion of the Pharaoh Hound Breed Standard prepared by The Pharaoh Hound Club of America, Inc  This booklet has been prepared by the Judge's Education Committee of the Pharaoh Hound Club of America, for the purpose of promoting better understanding of the Pharaoh Hound.

It is hoped that the comparison of the Standard text with the illustrations and discussion will assist judges, breeders and fanciers alike in understanding correct breed type.
