Harrier Personality

    Wishing to bring a pet dog into your home? Some canine breeds are easier to own than others, particularly for amateur dog parents.

    To identify the easiest canine breeds to own, we looked at a range of important attributes. And you might be shocked by the characteristics that matter most. For example, you might think you want a smart dog. But highly smart dogs aren't always the easiest to train, because trainability is more about a dog's willingness to follow instructions than his ability to comprehend them.

    You might expect an energetic dog will be the simplest to keep healthy. A dog with a lower energy level and no genetic predisposition to disease will actually be easier to manage. Additionally, choosing a dog with an easygoing temperament - and minimal grooming needs - will go a long way toward keeping you sane.

    Top 5 Easiest Dog's To Own

    1. Beagle - The beagle is amongst the top 10 most popular breeds for good reason: He has a bigger-than-life character and a merry nature that make him a cheerful and warm friend.

    2. Border Terrier - The border terrier is very "joyful," "plucky," and "loving." This dog has a medium energy level but a more laid-back personality than many other terriers.

    3. Bulldog - If you want a patient and mellow pet dog, you can't go wrong with the bulldog. You can successfully train your bulldog - especially if you use lots of praise and rewards and maintain a sense of humor.

    4. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - They can be loyal hiking partners or shameless couch potatoes, depending on the owner's personality - as long as they get an enjoyable walk each day.

    5. Basset Hound - These medium-sized dogs aren't very active. And while most dog owners won't put the basset hound's hunting prowess to the test, they'll enjoy the breed's extreme patience with children.

Harrier Information

The harrier is a smaller version of the English foxhound, more suited for hunting hares. It has large bone for its size, and is slightly longer than tall. It is a scenting pack hound and should be capable of running with other dogs, scenting its quarry and hunting tirelessly over any terrain for long periods. It has a gentle expression when relaxed and alert when aroused. The coat is short and hard.

The harrier is somewhat more playful and outgoing than the foxhound, but not as much as the beagle. It is amiable, tolerant and good with children. Its first love is for the hunt, and it loves to sniff and trail. It needs daily exercise in a safe area. Most are reserved with strangers. It tends to bay.
