Beagle Harrier

History

The Beagle Harrier originated from a cross between the Beagle and the Harrier, two English hunting dog breeds. The Beagle Harrier was used for hunting hares, rabbits and other small game. The breed became particularly popular in France, where it was used for hunting wild boar and deer.

Character

The Beagle Harrier is known for its energetic and playful nature. It is a real hunting dog and therefore needs a lot of exercise. In addition, the Beagle Harrier is intelligent and eager to learn, making it easy to train. The breed is also very social and friendly towards people and other animals.

Health

In general, the Beagle Harrier is a healthy breed. There are some hereditary disorders, such as epilepsy, hip dysplasia and eye problems. It is therefore important to ask about the health of the parents and any health tests that have been carried out when purchasing a puppy.

Care

The coat of the Beagle Harrier is short and dense, requiring little grooming. Occasional brushing is sufficient to remove loose hairs. It is important to give the Beagle Harrier sufficient exercise, otherwise the breed will quickly become bored and may show destructive behavior. In addition, it is important to give the dog sufficient mental stimulation, for example through games and training.
