Breed overview
Harrier
A.K.A.: Harehound, Harrier Hound, English Harrier
Overview:
The Harrier, a medium-sized scent hound originating from England, was primarily bred for hunting hare, hence its name. Physically, they present a sturdy and athletic build, typically standing 19-21 inches tall and weighing between 45-60 pounds. Their short, dense coat is usually tricolor (white, black, and tan) or lemon and white, requiring minimal grooming. Harriers possess a generally friendly and outgoing temperament, characterized by their energetic and curious nature. They are known for being quite vocal, emitting a distinct "bay" when excited or tracking a scent. While intelligent, their independent streak means training requires patience and consistency. Due to their high energy levels and strong prey drive, they thrive in active homes with securely fenced yards and are generally good with children and other dogs when properly socialized. However, their need for significant exercise makes them less suitable for apartment living. As a relatively healthy breed, Harriers can be prone to common canine ailments such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as certain eye conditions. Potential owners should research responsible breeders and understand the breed's need for mental and physical stimulation to ensure a happy and healthy companion.
