In the eighth century, it was bred as a hunting dog in Belgium and is known as the St. Huet dog. The St. Huet was favored by the French royal family and was brought to England by King William in 1066, and after centuries, the British improved the breed to produce today's bloodhound.

The Pharaonic Hound is one of the oldest dog breeds and is generally believed to have originated in Egypt. As early as four thousand years ago, very similar dog breeds appeared in ancient Egyptian portraits, and they can be found in ancient Egyptian literature and even hieroglyphs. They were once the darlings of the kings of ancient Egypt. Tutankhamen, the King of Egypt in the fourteenth century B.C., favored a pharaoh hound, and even after the dog died, he ordered that the dog be wrapped in a superior linen cloth and put into a coffin with incense paste, so that it could be glorified before the gods. One can imagine the honorable status of the Pharaoh Hound at that time. The Pharaonic Hound was then brought to the island of Malta by Phoenician traders, and although it has been bred and evolved over more than 2,000 years, the breed still retains its original breed and the appearance of its Egyptian ancestors.
