Pharaoh Hound
Playful. affectionate. Yours.
The first time your Pharaoh Hound blushes, you'll think you're imagining things. Their nose and ears flush deep rose-pink when they're excited, and they grin, actually grin, teeth showing, eyes squinting, like a dog who's in on a joke the rest of the canine world hasn't figured out yet.

The Pharaoh Hound experience
You know you're a Pharaoh Hound owner when...
●The blush, watching those amber ears and nose flood pink when they're happy, which is basically their whole emotional life displayed in real time on their face.
●Those ears. Enormous, upright, independently rotating satellite dishes that track every sound in a half-mile radius and give them the look of a very alert desert fox.
●The grin. Not a pant. Not a snarl. An actual, teeth-baring, eye-squinting smile that makes strangers stop and say 'Is your dog... laughing?'
●The speed. One second they're curled on the couch like an elegant sculpture. The next they're a copper blur doing laps around the yard at speeds that make you question physics.
●That thing where they drape themselves across you with zero regard for their actual size, tucking their long nose under your chin like a forty-five-pound greyhound-shaped scarf.
