As the name implies, the Beagle-Harrier – the result of crossing the Beagle and Harrier. The first attempts at crossing began in the 18th century, but it was not until the next century that they proved satisfactory thanks to the hard work of Baron Gérard Grandin de l’Eprevier. In fact, it is the latter that we attribute to the “paternity” of the Beagle Loonie as we know it today. The two breeds that made it possible to obtain it are of British origin, but the Beagle Harrier breed was indeed bred in France.
