Pharoah Hound

Breed Overview

The Pharaoh Hound is an elegant, athletic sighthound believed to be one of the world’s oldest domesticated breeds, with origins tracing back thousands of years to ancient Egypt. Today, it is Malta’s national dog, where it is known as the Kelb tal-Fenek (“rabbit dog”) for its exceptional hunting skills.

Pharaoh Hounds are intelligent, affectionate, and playful, with a unique ability to “blush,” turning their ears and nose a rosy pink when excited or happy. Their sleek, muscular build and boundless energy make them ideal companions for active households.

Size Category: Medium-to-large.
Monitoring growth is especially important for Pharaoh Hounds to ensure they develop strong bones and joints without becoming overweight. Because they are naturally lean, sudden weight gain or loss can signal health or dietary issues.

How Much Bigger Will My Pharaoh Hound Puppy Get?

Most Pharaoh Hound puppies reach 50% of their adult weight by 5–6 months. A general rule of thumb is to double their weight at 16 weeks to estimate their adult size.

They usually achieve their full height by 12 months but may continue filling out and building muscle until around 18 months. While they are not a giant breed, their athletic build requires steady, controlled growth to avoid joint strain.

Pharaoh Hound Growth Tips

Nutrition

• Feed a high-quality puppy formula for medium-to-large breeds until around 12–15 months.
• Offer 3–4 meals per day until 6 months old, then reduce to 2 meals daily.
• Maintain a lean physique—Pharaoh Hounds should have a visible waist and palpable ribs without excess fat.

Exercise

• Provide short, controlled play sessions for puppies, gradually increasing activity as they grow.
• Avoid excessive jumping, long-distance running, or intense agility work until growth plates close (around 12–15 months).

Health Watch

• Pharaoh Hounds are generally healthy, but rapid growth or excess weight can stress developing joints.
• Watch for signs of hip dysplasia or patellar luxation, although these are less common in this breed.
• Regular vet visits and monthly weight checks help ensure growth stays on track.
