Beagle Harriers have the same keen nose and sweetness as their Beagle cousins, but they’re bigger and more energetic. These dogs are a mix of hunter and friend, so if you’re looking for an activity partner by day and snuggle buddy by night, this pup may be the right fit. Full-grown, they typically weigh 42-46 pounds and stand 18-20 inches tall.

Beagle Harriers are generally good with kids, especially when raised together. Beagle Harriers are pack dogs, so they love being around kids and other dogs. However, they are not the best companions for cats or smaller animals, because of their prey drive. They're very vocal and bark quite a lot.

Beagle Harriers have lots of energy and need to get enough exercise so they don’t become destructive. They’re known to howl and dig up the yard when they get bored, so keep these pups active to avoid too much mischief. They like going for walks, hikes, or running for at least 20-40 minutes each day, especially if you’re right by their side. Overall, their exercise needs are high.

Beagle Harriers have thick coats of short, shiny fur. Their hair is usually tri-color (black, tan, and white) or bi-color (red and white) with a tan and white mask. Harriers are moderate shedders, but their grooming needs are minimal. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Beagle Harriers are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. Although Harriers are small enough for an apartment, they do best in homes with large yards where they can run, play, and sniff around all day long. They can be outside dogs as long as they have enough shelter, but they prefer living inside with the family. They are fairly easy to train.
