Harrier
This dog is friendly and good with children. It may bay or bark when bored or lonely. It is happy with companionship, either human or another dog.
Breed Overview
Originating in the middle ages in Great Britain, this dog was used for trailing hares and foxes. This hound is playful, amiable, outgoing, great with children, but may be reserved with strangers. They love going on trails, sniffing, and hunting. They need daily exercise so either a long walk, jog, or game in the yard would be great for them. They may be reserved around strangers and bark or bay if they are lonely. They enjoy being around other humans and animals. Ideal human companions for them are outdoor enthusiasts, active singles, families with older children, and experienced dog handlers. Grooming is minimal, so only an occasional brushing to remove dead hairs is required.
