History of the breed

It is in Malta that the breed of Pharaoh’s dog developed after the arrival of his ancestors on the Mediterranean archipelago around 1000 BC . It has the same origins as Cirneco de l’Etna, Podenco Canario and Podenco d’Ibiza, which were bred in Sicily, the Canaries and the Balearics. Pharaoh’s Dog was then introduced to England from the beginning of the 20th century . The breed was definitively recognized by the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) on August 9, 1963.
