The Norman-Saxon word harier means dog or hound, and many think the harrier is one of the oldest existing scenthounds. But the stories about the origins of this breed are inconsistent. One theory states the early harrier was a cross of other hounds such as the Bassett hound, the bloodhound, or the Talbot hound. Another theory speculates that the harrier was developed by crossing the Fox terrier and the Greyhound with the English Foxhound. Still another hypothesis is that the harrier is just an English Foxhound that has been bred down. Whatever the origin, the harrier was established to hunt hare in particular and fox as well........
