An overview on Beagle Harrier Life

A tireless and enthusiastic worker, the Beagle-Harrier was developed in the late 1920s and 1930s with the aim of amalgamating all the virtues of the Beagle and Harrier. Still very rarely seen outside France, this dog is mainly kept in small packs and is still used to hunt hare, which was the prime purpose when the breed was developed, although it now also hunts fox, wild boar and deer. This is a gentle breed which enjoys the company of other dogs as well as that of people. Temperament is sound and the Beagle-Harrier is fairly easy to train Its size falls between those of its ancestors with height from 45-50 cm (18-20 in) and weight 20-25 kg (44-55 lb), the back a little longer than that of the Beagle. The breed is usually tri-colored and is often black-blanketed.
