Medium-sized, sturdily built French scent hound created by crossing Beagles and Harriers, known for its balanced build, short dense coat, and energetic disposition with a passion for hunting
Developed in 19th century France by Baron Gérard, crossing English Beagles with French Harriers to create a medium-sized pack hound for hunting hare and other small game. Recognized by the FCI.
Typically 19-27 kg and 45-50 cm at the shoulder — published as one range rather than separately for males and females.
Generally described as energetic, intelligent, friendly, courageous and devoted.
That is the breed in general, not a promise about one animal. Ask the breeder what their own line is like, and meet the parents before you decide.
Quoted from FCI standard n°290. It describes the breed the registry recognises, not any individual animal.

Nobody has written this side yet. It is a judgement rather than data, so it waits for a person — not for a missing source.
Drawn from sources rather than written as an opinion — cited health research, the registry’s own standard, and peer-reviewed longevity. FCI breed standard; The Dog API. One breeder’s animals can differ from any of it, and an empty column means we hold nothing for that side rather than that there is nothing to say.
FCI standard · Beagle Harrier
As the FCI standard sets it out. Every line below is the standard’s own wording, tagged disqualifying.
Rather thick, not too short but flat
Preferred, permissible, undesirable and disqualifying are FCI’s own words about the breed. They describe what the standard asks for — not an assessment of any individual dog, and not ours.
Base colour
Tri-colour (fawn with black blanket, and white)
Shortened from FCI standard n°290 — each label is the standard’s own wording with the verdict lifted into the tag beside it. Read the full clause at source.
Breed-level information from The Dog API. It describes the Beagle Harrier in general; any individual animal can differ.
No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Beagle Harrier on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.
This is where Beagle Harrier owners’ own photographs will go, from the pet profiles they keep here. Nobody has added one to a public page yet.
A photograph in a pet profile stays private to its owner. We will not put one here unless they ask us to.
No Beagle Harrier breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
