KURRIERA PHARAOH HOUNDS

 

 

 

To KURRIERA Pharaoh Hounds web pages, the home of award winning Pharaoh Hounds who are “fit for purpose”. This breed of hound is a rabbit hunting sight/scent hound. Who are very lively and intelligent, they do not suffer fools and often appear aloof to strangers. They are fun loving and are always looking for trouble, which for a Pharaoh Hound is not far away. They will get out of anywhere and get into anything and then smile at you with a huge toothy grin as they wait for you to laugh at them and tell them they are wonderful. They are a very Happy Breed.

We were first introduced to Pharaoh Hounds in 2003 when quite by chance we were offered the opportunity to “re-home” the most beautiful older Pharaoh Hound bitch called MERYMUT KEMENA from the VERY famous MERYMUT KENNELS.

That was it, we were hooked we had found the breed of dog that was right for us (or I should say that they had found us).

Kemena settled in and our world changed as she opened up the wonderful world of living with a Pharaoh Hound.

They know who is boss..... They Are!!!

It is with great sadness that our beloved Kemena died on the 23rd September 2009.  Big “K” has left a BIG hole in our lives but our love of Pharaoh Hounds which she gave us lives on through Talkaccatur Christmas Star over Kurriera.

Tallulah wins BEST OF BREED at South Eastern Hound Club Premier Open Show.

For a dog who does NOT like cold and wet we were not expecting much as the rain had been pouring and the wind blowing. But just as Tallulah went into the ring the sun came out and “Madam” was in a very good mood. She went around the ring like she owned it and just flowed across the grass, she even smiled at the judge and remembered to put her ears up.
