Harrier (dog)
The Harrier is a medium-sized dog breed of the hound class, used for hunting hares by trailing them. It resembles an English Foxhound but is slightly smaller, though not as small as a Beagle. The breed has been used since the mid 13th century. Description Appearance The Harrier is similar to the English Foxhound, but smaller. Harriers stand between 19 and 21 inches at the shoulder, and adults weigh between 45 and 65 lbs. They do shed, have short hair and hanging ears, and come in a variety of color patterns. A humorous description of a Harrier is that of "a Beagle on steroids", despite its resemblance to an English Foxhound. It is a muscular hunting hound with a small, hard coat. It has large bones for stamina and strength. The Harrier is slightly longer than tall, with a level topline. The tail is medium-length, carried high, but is not curled over the back. The skull is broad with a strong square muzzle. The rounded ears are pendant, and the eyes are either ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Foxhound
A foxhound is a type of large hunting hound bred for strong hunting instincts, a keen sense of smell, and their bark, energy, drive, and speed. In fox hunting, the foxhound's namesake, packs of foxhounds track quarry, followed—usually on horseback—by the hunters, sometimes for several miles at a stretch; moreover, foxhounds also sometimes guard sheep and houses. There are different breeds of foxhound, each having slightly different characteristics and appearances, and each often called simply ''Foxhound'' in their native countries: * American Foxhound * Dumfriesshire Black and Tan Foxhound (extinct) * English Foxhound * Welsh Foxhound The American Masters of Foxhounds Association recognizes these breeds of foxhounds: American, Penn-Marydel, English, and crossbred foxhounds. The International Foxhound Association was created in 2012 for the international promotion of the Foxhound as a breed Characteristics Foxhounds are medium-large dogs and males typically weigh 29-32 ...
