The PHARAOHS SCRIBE is the official newsletter of the Pharaoh Hound Club of America, Inc. and
is published four (4) times a year on a quarterly basis. The opinions within are those of the writers
and do not necessarily represent the views of the PHCA. This publication is available to members in
good standing of the Pharaoh Hound Club of America only.
As we enter 2016, please remember your requirement to
complete the annual health survey on your dogs on the
OFA web site at http://www.offa.org .
Editor’s Note
Here we go, Statistics are in for 2015 and once again,
Pharaoh Hound Nation was pretty busy. Top Dog Breed,
All Breed, Lure Coursing Top twenty, Obedience. Looks
like Pharaohs are into everything, I can barely keep up.
Barn Hunt, Nose Work, Weight Pull, our breed is so
versatile. And so are the breeders, owners and handlers
who give our breed the opportunities to accomplish so
much.
I am deeply concerned with the end of 2015 and the
beginning of 2016 in terms of what is going on in the
world of Pharaoh Hound Rescue. We usually have no
Pharaoh Hounds in rescue, with an occasional single
Pharaoh Hound coming through the Rescue Committee
that needs a new home.
Darleen
Between December and January, the Rescue Committee
is aware of no less than 15 Pharaoh Hounds that are in
potential need of the assistance of the PHCA. This is far
and away the greatest number of Pharaoh Hounds that
have potentially needed help in the twelve years I have
been involved with the breed. Bearing in mind that not
all of these situations involve PHCA members, thus
giving us little or no say over the outcome of where these
Pharaoh Hound puppies will end up, there are at least
two situations involving PHCA members, a fact that is
reprehensible in my opinion.
President’s Message
Hello All:
I hope that the New Year finds you and your hounds all
healthy and happy!!
As most of you probably know by now, I am happy to
still be here in 2016 after undergoing emergency brain
surgery in November. I was very fortunate to have an
excellent neurosurgeon who achieved an excellent result.
(Please feel free to insert your joke about whether they
found a brain during my surgery here...I assure you, I
have heard them all). My prognosis is excellent and I
also got the benefit of getting a preview of what I will
look like should I ever go bald. May all of your brain
surgeries go as well, my friends.
Please, please, please bear in mind your club and ethical
responsibilities when deciding to proceed with breeding a
new litter without having the properly screened and
committed homes where your puppies are going. Also
remember your club and ethical responsibilities to be
committed to be responsible for EACH AND EVERY
puppy associated with your breeding for that dog's
LIFETIME. Do not take refuge in the position that as the
owner of the sire of the litter you bear no obligations for
the lifetime of that litter. YOU DO. If you cannot make
that commitment - for ANY reason - whether it be
because of space restrictions or finances, or any other
reason, that is a breeding that SHOULD NOT take place
under the PHCA's ethical rules and guidelines.
Fifteen Pharaoh Hounds in potential need of the help of
PHCA Rescue is a staggering number that is not only
heartbreaking, but repugnant. I hope we will all do what
is best for the breed we love and cherish so much.
Robert

made in clinical theriogenology enhance responsible
dog breeders’ ability to produce healthy litters that
can continue to aide our societal needs.”
AKC Delegate Report:
Dominic Palleschi Carota
The American Kennel Club, The AKC Canine
Health Foundation and The Theriogenology
Foundation Announce 2016 Companion Animal
Residencies. The residencies are to be renewed and
expanded to four major institutions.
Theriogenology is the branch of veterinary medicine
that focuses on reproduction, including the
physiology and pathology of male and female
reproductive systems of animals and the clinical
practice of veterinary obstetrics, gynecology, and
andrology.
The American Kennel Club (AKC®), the world’s
largest purebred dog registry, the Theriogenology
Foundation and the AKC Canine Health Foundation
announced that the recently established American
Kennel Club/Theriogenology Foundation
Companion Animal Residencies in Theriogenology
are being renewed and expanded to four universities
in 2016.
Since 1884, the AKC has recognized that the
pedigree is the best tool for improving canine health
temperament and working skills. The ever-changing
world of clinical theriogenology and genetic testing
has given breeders the necessary tools to produce
healthier litters and puppies with predictable
temperaments that fit into owners’ lifestyles.
Through this grant, the AKC and CHF acknowledge
that meeting the needs of their members means
investing in the education of the next generation of
veterinary specialists.
All of the residencies are made possible by generous
grants from the AKC and the AKC Canine Health
Foundation (CHF) and are for new residents who
begin their studies in 2016. The programs will exist
at Auburn University, North Carolina State
University, The Ohio State University and
University of Pennsylvania. Each grant is in the
amount of $100,000, to be used for study over 2-3
years. Existing residencies funded through this grant
in 2014 and ending this year were for programs at
University of California/Davis, Auburn University
and University of Pennsylvania.
“We are proud to partner with the Theriogenology
Foundation to continue our ongoing commitment to
canine health research,” said Dennis Sprung,
President and CEO of the AKC. “Helping to
cultivate future veterinarians and health researchers
is essential to the wellbeing of all dogs. We look
forward to seeing their contributions to canine
wellness.”
“Purpose-bred dogs make valuable contributions to
our society from helping those with disabilities to
public safety,” said Dr. Charles Franz, Executive
Director of the Theriogenology Foundation. “These
dogs have genetically predetermined traits that are
essential to the jobs that they do. The developments
