Meet the breeder

I'm Emily K., the breeder behind Nefer-Temu Pharaoh Hounds located in Vancouver, WA. Pharaoh Hounds have been our passion since 1993! We have had great success in many venues of dog competition. Health testing is a priority for us, as is producing well-rounded, athletic hounds with breed-typical temperaments. Our hounds are equally as comfortable in the show ring as on the couch!

Q. & A. with Emily

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Emily obtained her first Pharaoh Hound when she was 11 years old. She was an avid junior handler and 4-H-er, and her first Pharaoh introduced her to other AKC events. 6 years later, after proving herself by showing 3 Pharaohs to their AKC Championships and various other titles, Emily obtained her exceptional foundation bitch, "Samba," and now, 30 years later, she is still in love with the breed!
  • What makes your program special?

    We are proud of the fact that Nefer-Temu has the most Versatility-titled and OFA health tested Pharaohs in the USA. In the show ring, we have had many Top 5 ranked, group and specialty winning specials over 30 years and many generations of breeding, and over a dozen Best in Field winning lure coursers. Our puppies are raised in the home with the help of our kids and go to their new homes well-socialized.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include tan, rich tan, red golden, and chestnut. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Verified owner · Aug. 2025

    I have received multiple dogs from Emily, two Pharaoh Hounds (boy, girl) back in 2010 and one Pharaoh Hound (girl) earlier this year. Every time I have interacted with Emily, not only has she been very professional and immensely knowledgeable, but she genuinely cares about the well being of all of my dogs throughout their whole lives. What's really impressive is her memory regarding all of her past litters, I'll bring up a topic on one of my previous puppies and she can recall specific character traits they had as a puppy. Using Good Dog platform this time around made the payment and reservation process very straightforward. Emily is extremely responsive to inquiries and ultimately wants the best match for dogs.
