About the Beagle Harrier
The Beagle Harrier is a French pack scenthound that sits, in both size and type, between the smaller Beagle and the larger Harrier. Bred to hunt hare and other game in packs across open country, it is a balanced, athletic medium hound with a good nose, sound conformation and considerable stamina. It is uncommon and kept mostly as a working hunting dog in France. Friendly, even-tempered and sociable, it thrives in the company of people and other dogs, reflecting its pack origins. As a true hound it carries a strong scent drive, an independent working mind and a need for plenty of exercise, so it suits active, outdoorsy homes.
Every dog is an individual — genetics, socialization, health, training, and environment matter more than breed averages.
