Life is nearby

It is more suitable for a country house with a strong fence and people who walk a lot. Without movement and company, he gets bored and raises his voice loudly. After sensing the smell, he can follow the trail.

Walks

A healthy adult dog needs long walks, runs and sniffing every day. Free running is possible only in the fenced area. The load of puppies and elderly dogs is adjusted with the veterinarian.

Training

Willing to work, but independent on the trail. Olfactory games, valuable treats and short activities work. Calling is practiced on a long leash, and free running is allowed only in a safe area.

Care

Short hair is combed approximately once a week. After walks, the skin, paws and ears are examined. Claws are regularly trimmed and teeth are brushed.

Children

Usually sociable, but energetic. An adult monitors the contact, and the rules of a calm game are explained to the child.

Other animals

"Beagle-harrier" is a pack hound and is usually peaceful with other dogs. Familiarity with small animals is gradual due to the hunting instinct.
