Pharoah hound's coat is easy to take care of. It requires very little bathing and should just be brushed weekly. Its coat can just be wiped down with a damp cloth.

The Pharaoh Hound is playful and affectionate and loves to be part of the family. It's great with children (that aren't small enough to knock over.)
