Replicas of the Pharaoh Hound are found on the ancient tombs of Egyptian pharaohs, showing their beauty and grace.. His heritage can be traced to circa 3000 BC. Through the centuries, the Pharaoh Hound has kept both his enthusiasm for the hunt and a distinctive blushing trait. The Pharaoh's shows a blush which signifies happiness and a sense unity between himself and his admirer. When excited or happy, the Pharaoh Hound's nose and ears become flushed with a deep rose color, and his amber eyes become large.
