I like the sound of the Harrier because of its size and look and it is recomended by the following as an excellent dog with children:

"The Harrier is somewhat more playful and outgoing than the Foxhound, but not as much as the Beagle. Cheerful...
Hounds are said to be great family dogs, but the fox hound is too big and the beagle is a bit small. Does the harrier hound make a great family pet, (internet reserch seems to think so). If so where are the breeders?
Thanks
