Verified Reviews for Pharaoh Hound

Loving and adaptable - Cory, 25 March 2026

This dog could not be a better fit for my family. We have 3 younger kids and he interacts appropriately with all of them. Sometimes a little rough with nips, but not a mean, possessive or aggressive bone in his body. We have taken him to dog parks and due to his energy some of the older dogs don't always like him, but he wont start any fights. He was brought up around a cat who was 4 when we got him and at first she hated him and bullied him quite often. Now the two play regularly and when shes had enough he leaves her alone. The dog understands boundaries and his recall is good but not great. If he is outside off leash and other dogs are there he is in his own world, Inside getting into something he always comes when called. Very smart and took to most the obedience training pretty quickly. I cant imagine he would be great in a garden, he does like to try to dig and will bite at many plants and plays with them. but supervision could probably make sure that doesn't happen. Not nearly as vocal as I expected which is nice. He doesn't seem to know a stranger. This dog is a finder of soft blankets and being a couch potato. If he gets a decent amount of excercise he will lay around for days. Love the breed.
