It is a medium-sized dog, between 45 and 50 centimeters (18 and 20 inches) tall at the withers,[1] and it weighs between 19 and 21 kilograms (42 and 46 pounds).[2] Its coat is usually tricolor, featuring the colors fawn, black, tan, or white. There are also grey-coated (tricolor) Beagle-Harriers.[1] The Beagle-Harrier's body is usually muscular and its coat smooth and thick.[1]

The Beagle Harrier is generally healthy and has a life span of 12 to 13 years. The breed can be prone to Hip dysplasia due to being a long-backed breed of dog.[3]
History
Beagle-Harriers were bred in France in the late 19th century by Baron Gerard, as a cross between the Beagle and the Harrier.[4][5] Like its parent breeds, the Beagle-Harrier was bred to hunt hares, and is now a pack hunter used for hares, deer, and other game.[5] The Beagle-Harrier was later imported into America in the mid-1800s to hunt rabbits.[6] It was recognized by the FCI in 1974.[citation needed] Especially outside of its native France, the breed is quite rare.[5]
