This article is from the Pharaoh Hounds Breed FAQ, by KayDurr@BIHS.NET (Kay Durr) with numerous contributions by others.
Since there are so few of the breed, and hopefully only the very best
is being bred to the very best, puppies are usually in demand. Even
so, a good breeder will not produce a litter unless they have deposits
on secured homes for quite a few of the puppies in advance. So if it
is your intention to become the proud owner of one of these wonderful
dogs, you may have to have a deposit made on a pup for up to a year
before it finally arrives. But it is well worth it.
If you are looking for a Pet/Companion, be prepared to accept one on
AKC Limited Registration only, along with a contract stating you
understand the animal is not to be bred and that it should be spayed
or neutered, as it is in the best interests of the health of the
animal.
