Baron Gerard of France created this 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. This 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.

History: The Beagle Harrier is a recent creation developed in France in the late nineteenth century by Baron Gérard. The breed is a cross between the Beagle and the Harrier and probably received blood from medium-sized breeds indigenous to southwestern France.

Larger and faster than the Beagle, the Beagle Harrier is excellent in small game hunting (hare, fox, deer, and wild boar). Attempts by breeders to upset the balance in favor of the Beagle or the Harrier were unsuccessful.

Today’s breeders have stabilized the breed, which is neither a large Beagle nor a small Harrier. The standard was officially registered with the FCI (Fédération cynologique internationale [International Cynological Federation]) in 1974 and is gaining popularity in France.

Behavior: The Beagle Harrier is hardy, vigorous, fast, agile, and courageous but less powerful than the Harrier. With his determination and keen sense of smell, he works well in packs and is not afraid to enter even the thickest brambles. This easygoing, straightforward dog is a pleasant companion
