The Beagle-Harrier is a breed of dog originating from France. It is a scenthound, originally bred to hunt hares.
The Beagle-Harrier appears to be either a large Beagle or a small Harrier. It is a medium-sized dog, between 45 and 50 centimeters (18 and 20 inches) tall at the withers, [1] and it weighs between 19 and 21 kilograms (42 and 46 pounds). [2] Its coat is usually tricolor, featuring the colors fawn, black, tan, or white. There are also grey-coated (tricolor) Beagle-Harriers. [1] The Beagle-Harrier's body is usually muscular and its coat smooth and thick. [1]
The Beagle Harrier is generally healthy and has a life span of 12 to 13 years. Hip dysplasia could cause a big problem. [3]
Beagle-Harriers were bred in France in the late 19th century by Baron Gerard, as a cross between the Beagle and the Harrier. [4] [5] Like its parent breeds, the Beagle-Harrier was bred to hunt hares, and is now a pack hunter used for hares, deer, and other game. [5] The Beagle-Harrier was later imported into America in the mid-1800s to hunt rabbits. [6] It was recognized by the FCI in 1974.[ citation needed] Especially outside of its native France, the breed is quite rare. [5]
