5. Pharaoh Hound (Average Puppy Price: $1,800 – $2,000)
The Pharaoh Hound is the official dog of Malta. There, it is called Kelb Tal-Fenek. It is one of the oldest dog breeds in the world. Its origin dates back to almost 4,000 BC in Egypt.
Later on, the Phoenicians took the dog to the island of Malta where they preserved the breed in its purest form for over 2,000 years. That is a historical dog, right there. Thus, it should come as no surprise that its average puppy price is around $1,800 to $2,000 today.
Although the breed is categorized as sight hound, these dogs can actually hunt with sight, scent, and hearing at the same time. Combined with their intelligence and agility, they are the perfect dogs to hunt with.
They can also be family dogs. They have good temperament. Mostly they are affectionate, playful, and sociable. I’m sure the royal pharaohs of ancient Egypt loved that about them.
