Temperament
The Harrier is somewhat more playful and outgoing than the foxhound, but not as much as the beagle. He is amiable, tolerant and good with children. His first love is for the hunt, and he loves to sniff and trail. He needs daily exercise in a safe area. He tends to bay.
Care
The Harrier needs daily exercise, but his needs can be met with a long walk or jog and a vigorous game in the yard. The coat is easily cared for, needing only occasional brushing to remove dead hair.
