CHAPTER
XXI
THE
HARRIER
AND
THE
BEAGLE
The
Harrier
is
a
distinct
breed
of
hound
used
for
hunting
the
hare--or
rather
it
should
be
said
the
Association
of
Masters
of
Harriers
are
doing
their
utmost
to
perpetuate
this
breed;
the
Harrier
Stud
Book
bearing
witness
thereto:
and
it
is
to
be
deplored
that
so
many
Masters
of
Harriers
ignore
this
fact,
and
are
content
to
go
solely
to
Foxhound
kennels
to
start
their
packs
of
Harriers,
choosing,
maybe,
20
inch
to
22
inch
Foxhounds,
and
thenceforth
calling
them
Harriers.
It
is,
indeed,
a
common
belief
that
the
modern
Harrier
is
but
a
smaller
edition
of
the
Foxhound,
employed
for
hunting
the
hare
instead
of
the
fox,
and
it
is
almost
useless
to
reiterate
that
it
is
a
distinct
breed
of
hound
that
can
boast
of
possibly
greater
antiquity
than
any
other,
or
to
insist
upon
the
fact
that
Xenophon
himself
kept
a
pack
of
Harriers
over
two
thousands
years
ago.
Nevertheless,
in
general
appearance
the
Harrier
and
the
Foxhound
are
very
much
alike,
the
one
obvious
distinction
being
that
of
size.
