About Harrier Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Harrier is a medium sized purebred scent hound from England, developed for pack hunting of hare and classified in the Hound Group; typically 19-21 inches tall and 45-60 pounds, it is sturdy and athletic with a short, dense coat in classic hound colors. Friendly, outgoing, and high energy, Harriers thrive with active families and other dogs, needing ample daily exercise such as long walks, runs, and scent games, plus a secure yard and patient, consistent training to channel their strong nose. Grooming is low maintenance with weekly brushing and occasional baths; they shed lightly, drool minimally, and are not hypoallergenic. Routine ear checks, nail trims, and dental care are important, and the breed is generally healthy, though it can be prone to hip dysplasia and ear infections.
