Now that you know what it takes to raise a Pharaoh Hound, are you ready to take the next step to pet one?
How can I recognize if my Pharaoh Hound is stressed?
Signs of stress include changes in appetite, excessive barking, pacing, excessive panting, and reluctance to move.
Are Pharaoh Hounds suitable for apartment living?
While Pharaoh Hounds can adapt to apartment living, they require regular exercise and mental stimulation. A yard or nearby park is ideal for meeting their needs.
How do I address behavioural issues in a Pharaoh Hound?
Address behavioural issues with consistent training, positive reinforcement, and if necessary, consult a professional dog trainer or behaviourist.
