The Pharaoh Hound is a breed of dog and the national hound of the Mediterranean nation of Malta. Its native name is ''Kelb tal-Fenek'' (plural: ''Klieb tal-Fenek'') in Maltese, which means "Rabbit dog". The dog is traditionally used for hunting rabbit in the Maltese Islands. Based on DNA analysis,〔Parker, Heidi. et al. 2004 “Genetic Structure of the Purebred Domestic Dog”. ''Science'' 304, 1160〕 the breed has no link with Ancient Egypt. However, a popular myth holds that the breed is descended from the Tesem, one of the ancient Egyptian hunting dogs. Some believe that there are similarities between the breed and images of dogs found on the walls of ancient Egyptian tombs. This myth proposes that the Pharaoh Hound was brought by the Phoenicians to Malta, where it has existed for over 2,000 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Breed )〕 The breed has variously been classified as a member of the sighthound group. ==Description==
