Origins
## Where does it come from?
As its name indicates, the Beagle-Harrier comes from the cross between the Beagle and the Harrier. The first attempts date back to the 18th century, but the breed was mainly established in the 19th century thanks to the work of Baron Gérard Grandin de l'Eprevier. Developed in France to obtain a hunting dog larger and faster than the Beagle, capable of keeping up with the pace of a hunt on horseback, it was definitively recognized by the FCI in 1972.
Appearance
## What does it look like?
The Beagle-Harrier is a medium-sized scenthound, of medium build, robust and vigorous. It resembles the Beagle, but in larger proportions and with greater speed. Its coat is short, fairly dense and lying flat, most often tricolour fawn, black and white with tan markings more or less vivid. Its silhouette is solid, with a short and muscular back, a well let-down chest and straight limbs that support balanced and noble gaits.
Temperament
## Temperament and personality
The Beagle-Harrier is an alert, enthusiastic, affectionate and loyal dog. He is very attached to his owner, enjoys family life and retains a strong hunting instinct. Playful and curious, he generally gets along very well with children and cohabits easily with other dogs, notably because he worked in a pack for a long time.
Affectionate Playful Easy to train Sociable
Living together
## Living with children and other pets
On a daily basis, the Beagle-Harrier needs activity and sustained outings to remain balanced. He enjoys the home and family life, but he is not satisfied with walks that are too short. His nose, his energy and his taste for pursuit can push him to follow a trail with determination, which requires a consistent framework and regular exercise.
Training
## Training and socialization
His training is generally accessible thanks to his attachment to humans and his good responsiveness to rewards. He can however show himself to be a bit stubborn if the sessions are repetitive or lack motivation. Serious socialization, recall worked on early, and positive and consistent training are important to channel his enthusiasm and his hunting instinct.
Budget
## Price and budget for the Beagle-Harrier
The purchase price of the Beagle-Harrier varies mainly depending on the origin of the bloodline, the quality of the breeding, the dog's intended purpose and the still rather limited availability of the breed. It is important to favor a reputable breeder who works on health, temperament and socialization.
