Pharaoh Hound
Pharaoh Hound, dog breed of uncertain origin, but related to the greyhound and the Ibizan Hound. The name derives from the pharaoh hound's resemblance to the lean hounds with large, erect ears that are seen in ancient Egyptian sculpture and painting. The male stands up to 64 cm (25 in) high at the shoulder. The skull is lean and the whiplike tail is curved. The fine, glossy coat is tan to chestnut with white markings on the face, chest, toes, and tail tip.
