The Beagle-Harrier is a scenthound. It is a breed of dog originating from France.
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 good with children and other pets. They are loyal and determined, making them a good family pet. They are a hunting breed and so require a lot of exercise and space.
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 19th century by Baron Gerard.[citation needed] The Beagle Harrier could be a mixture of two breeds, the Beagle and the Harrier, or the midpoint in breeding between the two breeds.[4] The Beagle-Harrier was later imported into America in the mid-1800s to hunt rabbits.[5] It was recognized by the FCI in 1974.[6] The Beagle-Harrier can now be quite rarely found in France and is even more rare in other countries.[7]
