Pharaoh
hounds
The Pharaoh Hound is one of the oldest breeds
They were prized companions of Egyptian royalty; commemorated in their art, mummified and entombed with honor and, some
believe, incorporated into the Egyptian pantheon as Anubis, god of embalming and conductor of souls to the
underworld
The Phoenicians are believed to have introduced the Pharaoh Hound to Malta
centuries ago where they have been prized as hunters and preserved in virtually the same form as the ancient dog of the Pharaohs. Keen hunters, they are kept in walled yards and taken out to hunt because, if allowed complete freedom, there would soon be no rabbits left on Malta. The Pharaoh Hound remains the same dog brought by the Phoenicians partly because of geographic
isolation. They are the same dog depicted in tomb paintings of ancient Egypt
The Pharaoh Hound’s name in Maltese, Kelb-tal Fenek, means “rabbit
hound,” and the Maltese have long used the Pharaoh Hound in tandem with
falcons to hunt rabbit. The Pharaoh Hound's agility and hunting ability have
made it a perennial favorite among Maltese farmers for thousands of years.

My first pharaoh hound
was a female, Princewood Athena, bred and born in England
After my return to
Denmark I bought a pharaoh hound
male, Tutankhamon, bred by HRH Prince Henrik of Denmark
Tutankhamon at left as a puppy and at right as an adult - he was a beautiful and
powerful dog
Tutankhamon was a wonderful
dog, who sired several litters and founded many kennels - Tuankhamon´s finest
showplacing was at
the World Dog Show in
Denmark in 1977
