A medium-size, muscular dog, the Beagle Harrier appears to be either a larger Beagle or a smaller Harrier.

A medium French pack hound with a short coat and a carrying voice; he wants field days, not a closed-in city routine.

The Beagle Harrier is a scenthound, bred in France in the 19th century by Baron Gerard. They were bred to hunt hare or deer in packs. The Beagle Harrier is now rarely found in France, and even more rarely in other countries.
