History:

The origins of the are a big mystery, and there is a lot about their origins claim, but no definite answer can be given. Some believe they were derived from the Southern Hound, a related hunting dog; others claim they were an extinct Talbot and St. Hubert Hound or possibly the product of a French union. Regardless of where they originate, Harleys have been around in the UK for quite some time. Historical records show that at the end of the 12th century, there were records of Harry dogs in England. In 1260, Sir Elias Middlehop bred the first group of Harleys. As they hunted hares, people were able to keep up with them, so Harrys became a sort of commoner hare hunter, because for hunters without horses, it was still possible to keep up. Now, in the popular Harry dog "race group" project, you can still see the Harry dog's work classification tradition. On the field, several people, each with one or several Harry dogs, form a temporary 's group. Harleys came to North America during the colonial era, and they've been doing it ever since. Harleys were recognized by the United States (AKC) in 1885, but they have never been a very popular breed in American history. Debate still centers on where they came from, but more and more people are starting to see Harleys as smaller versions.

Harry  Alias : Harriers They are outgoing and playful, and they are also great companions for children because they are tolerant and patient. Naturally able to get along well with other dogs and tolerate animals that have been raised together since childhood. Click to enter Harry's Club

Origin:

England

Personality:

More outgoing and playful, they are also great companions for children because of their forgiving and patient nature. Harleys are naturally good at getting along with others, and they are tolerant of other small animals if they are raised with others. Not the most sociable Harleys are good at strangers, they are typically the type who are friendly and receptive to strangers as well. When exercising, it's best to keep them on a chain or in a walled yard, as they like to follow every scent they smell. When they are bored or anxious, they usually bark loudly, and the best solution is to have other dogs or family members with them.

FCI Standard:

Size: Both male and female, the shoulder height is about 19-21 inches, and the upper and lower errors are acceptable within 1 inch. Scale: non-square. The body length (the distance from the shoulder joint to the buttocks) is slightly greater than the withers height (the distance from the withers to the ground). Physique: Solid structure, full of strength, of good quality. The breed should have as much bone mass and muscle as possible without appearing heavy or rough.

Head: The head is in proportion to the whole. No part of the head will appear to stand out from the rest. When relaxed, the expression appears gentle and sensible, and when "awakened", the expression appears alert. Eyes: Medium in size, well spaced, brown or hazel in darker eyes, hazel or yellow in light dogs, but dark eyes are always preferred. Ears: Set low, against the cheek, with rounded tips. Skull: Proportionate to the whole, of sufficient length and breadth, with a prominent forehead. Stop: Moderately clear. Muzzle: The distance from the stop to the tip of the nose is the same as the distance from the stop to the posterior occiput, the muzzle is firm and of sufficient depth. Lips: The entire lip line is square and neat on the muzzle, without excess skin or sagging upper lip. Nose: A good nose is an important feature. The nose should be wide and the nostrils open. Teeth: Scissors or pincers. A protruding upper jaw or jaw protruding bite is a defect, as is a severe misalignment of the teeth.

Neck: Long and strong, without excess skin or fat, gradually thickening smoothly into the muscular forequarters. Topline: Horizontal. The back is well muscled, not slumped behind the withers, nor arched at the loins. Body: Chest deep, extending to elbows, ribs well supported, spread back to give enough room for heart and lungs, but not so well supported as to interfere with normal, stretched, and effective movement of the forequarters. The loin is short, broad and muscular. Tail: Long, set high, held up, at the 12-13 o'clock position (hour hand). Tapering to the tip, the hair is dense (like a brush). The tail should not be curled behind the back.

Forequarters: Moderately angled, shoulder blades long and sloping, set back against the muscular back, clean withers. The shoulder blades are covered with well-developed muscles, but not overly heavy or anti-shouldering, giving the impression of a stretched, powerful movement. The elbows are well spaced from the ribs, parallel to the torso, not turned outwards. The legs are straight and well boned, down to the toes. But not too much, the joints are very slightly prominent, but not too exaggerated. Feet: Round feet with compact toes turned slightly inward. The pads are thick, developed and strong.

Hindquarters: Angled in harmony with the forequarters, so the hindquarters drive is in harmony with the forequarters reach. The muscles are very developed and have the strength to work for a long time, which is very important. Endurance is more important than pure speed, so the angle of the rear knee must be moderate. Feet: Straight forward, rounded cat feet with compact toes and thick pads, well developed and strong.

Coat: Short, dense, hard and shiny. On the ears, the texture of the hair is finer than on the body. The hair under the tail is like a brush.

Color: Any color, not very important.

Gait: The front and rear legs are well coordinated. Front reach and rear drive are the same, both at a desired moderate angle. Coming or leaving, they all travel in a straight line, with no obvious signs of sideways. Slightly inward-pointing of the front paws is permitted. A clear approach or departure is important, but not as important as looking at the gait from the side, which must be smooth, efficient, and long.

Temperament: Outgoing and friendly, like all pack hounds, the Harry must be able to work closely with other hounds. So, being aggressive towards other dogs is an intolerable flaw.
