Harrier (More...)

Appearance
The harrier looks like a small English foxhound. Its coat is short, dense, and glossy. It is seen in all colors, especially black, tan, and white, evenly distributed.
Grooming & Exercise Needs
The harrier needs to be brushed once a week. Long walks are required and runs in the country are recommended for this high-energy dog. Harriers are wonderful companions for joggers, hikers, bikers, and horseback riders--they can run all day long.
Origins
The harrier was developed in England in the 12th century to hunt in packs for hare and fox.
Special Alerts
The harrier thrives in the country, but its tracking instinct makes it unsuitable for city life or even life in the suburbs if there is only a small yard.
