The name Harrier, from the French harier, or “hunting dog”, perfectly describes this dog. Records of Harriers go back to the Penistone pack in the west of England in 1260, but it is not formally recognized in its native country. It came close to dying out in the 20th century, and was revived using Foxhound crosses; Bloodhounds and Beagles may have been used in its earlier breeding. Relaxed and gregarious, it is reliable with children.
