The Harrier is classified by The Royal Kennel Club as a medium breed, typically weighing 20–27 kg as an adult. Bred in England for hunting hare in packs, the Harrier sits between the smaller Beagle and larger Foxhound in size, combining stamina and a strong nose with a friendly, sociable temperament.
What this means for your Harrier
Hip dysplasia and ear infections, common across long-eared pack hounds, are both worth watching for. Otherwise, the Harrier is generally considered a hardy, robust breed thanks to generations of breeding for stamina and working soundness.
Bred to work in packs, Harriers are highly social and do best with plenty of company and regular exercise throughout their lives, scaled back gradually as they age.
When is a Harrier considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, medium breeds like the Harrier are generally considered senior from around 7 dog years old.
