Harrier
The Harrier stands midway between the Beagle and
the Foxhound in height. It is assumed that they are descended
from the Greek hounds brought to Britain; they have been known
as a distinct breed since 1130. In the past few centuries, when
hunting from horseback came about, a small foxhound was crossed
into the breed to increase its speed. The Harrier was bred to
hunt hare.
The breed is a pack animal and usually prefers
the company of the pack to humans.
Our Harrier design is available on our full range
of t-shirts, sweatshirts, nightshirts, tote bags, mousemats and
more.
