The Harrier is a swift hunting hound with an excellent nose and
superior stamina in the field. Sources have widely conflicting
stories about the origins of this breed. According to one, the
breed was probably developed from crosses of the English Foxhound
with Fox Terrier and
Greyhound. According to another, the earliest
Harrier types were crossed with
Bloodhounds, the Talbot Hound and
even the Basset Hound. In a third source, the
Harrier is said to
be simply a bred-down version of the English Foxhound.
