Baron Gerard of France created the Beagle Harrier breed by crossing two English hounds, the Beagle and the Harrier. A pack hound used on hare or deer, it looks like the English-type hound from which he came. The Beagle Harrier dog has the higher set, flat, smaller ears of British dogs. He is stockier and more compact of body than the French hounds and is heavily boned for his size. Small packs of Beagle Harriers are still seen in France with hunters who prize him for his abilities. He is rarely exhibited. |
