Appearance

Head profile of a Beagle Harrier.

The Beagle Harrier appears to be either a larger Beagle or a smaller Harrier. It is a medium-sized dog, between 45 and 50 centimeters (18 to 20 inches) tall at the withers,[1] and it weighs between 19 and 21 kilograms (42 to 46 pounds).[2] Its coat is usually tricolor, featuring the colors fawn, black, tan, or white. There are also grey-coated (tricolor) Beagle Harriers.[3] The Beagle-Harrier's body is usually muscular and its coat smooth and thick.[4]

Temperament

The Beagle Harrier is generally good with children and other pets. They are loyal, have lots of determination and are calm and relaxed when at home, making them a good family pet. They are a hunting breed and so require a lot of exercise and space.

Health

The Beagle Harrier is generally very healthy and has a life span of 12 to 13 years. Hip dysplasia could cause a big problem.[5]

History

Beagle Harriers were bred in France in the 19th century by Baron Gerard.[6] The Beagle Harrier could be a mixture of the two breeds, the Beagle and the Harrier, or the midpoint in breeding between the two breeds.[7] It was recognized by the FCI in 1974.[8] The Beagle-Harrier is also recognised by the Continental Kennel Club in their Hound group.[9]

The Beagle Harrier can now be quite rarely found in France and are even more rare in other countries.[10]
