Harrier

The Harrier is a medium-sized dog breed that originated in the United Kingdom. The Harrier is known for its agility and endurance, which makes it great for hunting hares and rabbits. Despite its name, this breed was not developed as a bird dog, but rather as a versatile hunting dog capable of chasing down their prey through open fields or wooded areas. In addition to being able to run fast, this breed is also known for jumping high into the air with ease

The Harrier is a medium-sized dog that originated in Northern Ireland. It's a hunting dog with a friendly disposition, making it excellent for families. As with most hunting dogs, the Harrier has an extremely high prey drive, so it should never be left alone with small animals or livestock.

The Harrier is an intelligent breed and can be trained easily to do many tricks and commands. They like to please their human companions, so training will not be difficult for them as long as you are consistent and reward positive behavior.

• A medium-sized, sturdy dog with a thick coat. Harriers are medium-sized dogs with thick coats that come in a variety of colors including brown, white and tan. They are very hardy and can withstand harsh weather conditions.

• A strong sense of smell. One of the most distinguishing characteristics of this breed is its strong sense of smell—Harriers can track animals over vast distances using their sense of smell alone!

• A good hunter. Harriers have been bred for hunting purposes since the Middle Ages, so it's no surprise that they make great hunters today as well! Their keen eyesight helps them spot prey from a long distance away (up to 1 mile) so they know exactly where to go when they're on the hunt for some food or adventure!

• Smart but stubborn; great family pets but not recommended around children under 7 years old due to playfulness level being too high for younger children who may injure themselves by running around too much without thinking about safety measures first."

The Harrier is a medium-sized dog that was originally bred to hunt small game and vermin. It has also been known as the English Toy Spaniel, the Welsh Springer Spaniel and the Welsh Corgi.

The Harrier was first bred in Wales in the early nineteenth century from a cross between the Foxhound and a local herding breed called Old English Sheepdog. The result of this breeding was a dog with great stamina who could work for hours at a time in rough terrain without tiring out quickly. With this ability to work tirelessly over difficult terrain came an instinctive desire to chase down prey no matter how large or fast they were—thus earning these dogs their reputation as hunters of rabbits (among other things).

During World War II many Harriers were used by farmers as guard dogs because they would bark loudly whenever strangers entered their territories; however this trait caused problems later on when owners kept their pets indoors so that neighbors wouldn't know they had one!

Harriers live 10-12 years. Their lifespan is similar to that of most other breeds, but they have a few health issues that tend to crop up more often than not. The most common problems include heart disease, eye problems, and skin allergies. They are prone to hip dysplasia as well; Harriers can be bred with other dogs that have healthy hips so their offspring will likely have normal or near-normal hips.

Harriers are also prone to obesity issues due to their inability to exercise enough on their own—if you plan on getting a Harrier but don't have time for daily walks or runs outdoors, try taking your dog out frequently in smaller doses so as not overdo it and make them lethargic or overweight!

• Minimum Height and Weight: Harriers generally weigh between 17 and 22 pounds. The breed's minimum height is 13 inches (33 cm).

• Maximum Height and Weight: The maximum weight for a Harrier is 24 pounds, while the maximum height is 14 inches (35.5 cm).

The Harrier is a medium-sized dog with a long, flat head that's slightly rounded at the tips of his ears. The muzzle is long and narrow, with high-set eyes set in a soft expression that matches his personality. His long tail hangs straight down when he sits or walks, but it will curve over his back when he is excited or happy. His coat is dense, water-repellent, and comes in several colors: white (which can be pure or parti), sable (which can also be black or liver), brindle (a patterned marking), blue merle (where patches of white are interspersed with blue), red merle (with rust colored markings) and tricolor marbled.

Harriers originated in Great Britain where they were bred as hunting dogs for shooting birds on the wing; however today they're most often kept as companion animals since there aren't many people who hunt these days!

Harriers are intelligent and active dogs. They are alert, curious, and always on the move. Their sense of smell is well developed, which makes them good at finding things to play with or chew up. They can be playful with children but need to learn how to control their bodies when playing so they don’t accidentally knock over or hurt the kids around them. Harriers also love other dogs and cats so long as they aren’t aggressive toward them.

They make good watchdogs because they will bark at anything new in your yard as well as unfamiliar people that come through your home uninvited; however, they won't attack anyone unless provoked by another animal or person who's trying to harm you (or someone else) inside your home. Although these pups may not be ideal pets for elderly individuals due to their high energy levels during playtime, younger adults should have no problem keeping up with this breed when it comes time for daily walks outside!

Harrier temperament is friendly, playful and affectionate. The Harrier is a very social dog that loves to be with the family. They are good watchdogs and will bark when someone comes to the door of your home. The Harrier is a good companion dog and makes a good running partner for both you and your children.

The price of a Harrier depends on many factors, such as the breeder, shelter or rescue you purchase from. The age and sex of the Harrier will also affect its price. In some cases, geographic location can influence cost as well. It's important to keep in mind that most Harrier puppies are advertised online at a very young age (as early as 8 weeks old). You may find this extremely helpful in finding a reputable breeder or shelter near you!

Harriers are loyal, energetic, and affectionate. They’re also good with children, other pets and make great guard dogs. The harrier is eager to please and it can be trained in a short amount of time. A harrier is a good hunting dog and will fetch both small animals (like squirrels) and larger game (such as deer). They love being outdoors and running around the yard or field for hours on end.

The harrier has a bark that sounds like “har-harrrrr” which makes it a fantastic watchdog since most burglars will think twice before trying to break into your home when they hear this intimidating bark!

As with any dog, Harriers aren’t for everyone. If you have children, or if you dislike the idea of a large, energetic dog running around your house and yard (or both), then this is not the breed for you. Harrier dogs are also not good for families with cats or other pets because they can sometimes be aggressive towards them.

Harriers have a high energy level that doesn't always match up with the lifestyle of their owners, so it's important to take this into consideration before getting one of these dogs.

If you have a Harrier, it’s important to understand that these dogs need a lot of exercise. They are energetic and active dogs who thrive on being outdoors. While they can live in apartments or small homes if necessary, they are not good guard dogs because they are vocal and friendly to everyone (even strangers).

If you have small children, your Harrier may not be the best choice for your family. These dogs love to play but can also be destructive if they don't get enough exercise or attention from their owners.

What to feed your Harrier:

• Feed your Harrier a high-quality, low-calorie diet that meets the nutritional needs of the species. This can include commercially prepared dog food or cat food, as well as meat from lean cuts of beef, chicken and fish. A variety of raw vegetables can be offered as well. Organic foods are preferred but not required. Meat should be cooked until browned or charred on the outside (to destroy any bacteria). Avoid feeding large amounts of bone fragments because they can cause choking in small animals such as birds; however, you may offer small pieces every now and then for added calcium benefits (bones must always be thoroughly cooked before serving).

• Commercial pellets are readily available at pet stores and feed supply stores; these provide balanced nutrition for all ages including growing pups or seniors needing extra care due to illness or injury.* You may also make your own homemade blend using fresh ingredients mixed with dry kibble—or purchase this readymade mixture online.*

Harrier grooming is minimal, and you can get away with brushing your dog once a week. Bathing can be done once a month (more often if they get dirty), and trimming should be done every 6 months. Feeding high-quality food will keep your Harrier happy and healthy!

How much exercise does a Harrier need?

A Harrier could benefit from daily play time, but ideally you should be able to exercise them with at least a weekly walk or jog. A Harrier that is not exercised enough may become overweight, which can lead to health problems down the road. It's best if your dog is at an ideal weight for his breed and size (see below).

Are there any health issues that may arise from not exercising a Harrier?

Overweight dogs are more prone to developing arthritis, thyroid disease, diabetes and heart disease later in life. These conditions can result from being overweight as puppies or adolescents; therefore it's important that you monitor your dog's health carefully so he doesn't become obese as an adult.

Harrier is a very intelligent dog. He can learn quickly and his training will go well. Harrier is a very responsive dog, so he will respond well to your commands. Harrier is also an obedient dog, so you don't have to worry about him not listening to you! He's quick learner as well, which means that it won't take long for him to learn anything new.

You'll be happy to know that Harrier's coat is very easy to groom. This medium-sized dog with a short coat has a silky texture, which makes brushing and grooming a snap. Plus, the silky hair doesn't shed excessively, so you won't have to vacuum every day—if you even own a vacuum at all!

Not only does the Harrier's coat require minimal work in terms of maintenance but it also doesn't cause allergic reactions in most people like other dogs do. The breed's mixed heritage gives it an advantage over many others when it comes to being hypoallergenic: its parent breeds are Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Samoyed Husky mixes. This means that if your family members suffer from allergies triggered by pet dander or fur (known as canine atopy), they may not suffer from symptoms while around Harriers because this particular hybrid is less likely than some other breeds to trigger such reactions in people who don't already have them.

You should bathe your Harrier at least once a month. You can bathe them more often, but it's best not to bathe them more than once every six months. Never try to go longer than that, or you risk damaging the skin and coat. If you have a particularly stinky Harrier, then you may want to wash their fur more often – but no more than once every three weeks!

Harriers make excellent family dogs. Harriers love children, and they're very affectionate with their owners as well. They can be good watchdogs because they bark when someone comes near the house, but it's important to realize that they don't have the same protective instincts as a guard dog (they won't attack intruders or strangers). If you have allergies, Harrier is an excellent choice because he sheds very little hair and doesn't produce dander like some breeds do.

Harriers are good with other pets. Harriers love to play and will get along with your cat or dog.

Harriers are friendly and affectionate. They crave human attention, and will happily sit on your lap for hours if you let them!

Harriers are playful and energetic. You should always have toys around for your Harrier’s entertainment, or else he might get bored and find other ways to amuse himself!

Harriers are protective of their owners. Although they may not be as cuddly as some breeds, they do love being close by when you’re home so that they can protect you from any danger that comes knocking at your door (or window). That said, it’s important not only to train but also socialize these dogs early on in order for them not become too territorial over their own space later in life – especially since their instinctual behavior is much more territorial than most other breeds out there today!

Harriers are not known to be barkers, but they can be good watch dogs.

The Harrier is not a particularly aggressive dog. They are very patient and friendly, and they make great companions for children. Most of them get along well with other dogs and cats as well, though you should never leave them alone unsupervised with another animal for extended periods of time as some may be jealous or territorial.

Harriers are a high maintenance dog. They need to be groomed regularly, bathed regularly and fed regularly. They also need to be walked regularly, trained regularly and socialized regularly.

Harriers are not hypoallergenic. They shed year round, and they shed a lot! In fact, the term “shedding” can be misleading because it doesn't accurately describe how much hair Harriers lose. When you consider a Husky's thick undercoat, it's easy to see why people with allergies should avoid this breed if they want one-hundred percent hair protection (but we love them anyway!).

Harrier is a smart dog. Harrier is easy to train and learns quickly. Harriers are a fast learner and can be taught new things by their owners easily.

Harriers have a high intelligence level, so they are good at solving problems when they get stuck in difficult situations, like trying to figure out how they can open a door or where the food is hidden behind pillows in the living room!

Yes, Harriers make good walking dogs. They are energetic and intelligent but not overly stubborn. They love going on walks, jogs and hikes with their owners. However, they do need physical exercise or they can become rambunctious and destructive.

Harriers are not good swimmers. They should be kept away from water. If you must bathe your harrier, please use a shampoo designed specifically for dogs and wash them with a soft-bristled brush as soon as possible after getting wet. Do not leave your harrier alone with a pool or lake, because they may fall into it while you're gone and drown!

Yes. Harriers are affectionate, and love to be with their humans. They enjoy cuddling up on the couch with you while you watch your favorite movie, or going for walks around the neighborhood together.

Harriers are excellent with children and other pets as well! Harriers love to play games like fetch or tug-of-war; it is important that you play these games so that your dog does not become bored or destructive when left alone.

Harrier are also great family dogs because they have a very high tolerance for activity and can handle being left alone for longer periods of time than many other breeds.

Harriers are not clingy, needy dogs. They do love people and they do want to be around them, but they don't need constant attention or petting to feel loved and happy. Harriers will happily go out for a walk with you or hang out in the backyard while you're working on some project, as long as there's room for them to run around when they get bored. The key thing is that unlike some other breeds, Harrier needs space—both physical space and mental space—to be themselves.

Harriers are good house dogs. They're playful and affectionate, but also independent and strong-willed. They don't always need to be around their owners, which makes them a great choice for people who work from home or travel frequently. However, they may not appreciate being left alone for long periods of time—particularly if that means being separated from their family members!

Harriers aren't good guard dogs because they're not naturally territorial or protective by nature. If anything, Harrier puppies will approach strangers with curiosity rather than fear! That said, this friendly disposition can make them easy targets for thieves or other criminals looking to target your household (or neighborhood). If you must have a dog who barks at intruders on command while you're away from home—and believe me I understand how important this might be—you would be better served training an older Harrier than getting one as a puppy.*

Harriers are not hunting dogs because they lack the stamina required by other breeds used in hunting activities like retrieving fowls' wings during flight hunts

NO! While Harriers have a relatively low allergy rate in general, they are not hypoallergenic. Harriers shed year-round and will leave hair everywhere—on your clothes, your furniture and especially on your bed sheets. While some people may be able to live with this level of shedding by using special vacuum cleaners and lint rollers, many others will find it too much to deal with.

Which leads us right into the next question: Good for people who don't like dogs?

Also no! As we mentioned earlier, Harriers can be very territorial and protective of their homes and owners. They're not the best choice if you have cats or other pets that might try to get into their house or yard uninvited (or invited). And if there's one thing we know about cats (and dogs), it's that sometimes even when allowed in their house guests aren't always welcome...
