Interesting Information About Harrier Dogs

Without proper training and socialization, Harriers may grow up seeing and treating small pets (like cats) as prey. This breed makes an excellent watchdog, barking to notify you that there's a potential threat in the house. However, they may not be capable guard dogs. After alarming you of the "danger," Harriers will then greet the stranger like a long-lost friend. With adequate shelter to protect them from extreme weather, Harriers can live outdoors. But as pack animals, they thrive best when living with their family or fellow pups.

Harriers have long ears, which may interfere with air circulation to the ears. It explains why Harriers can easily acquire ear infections. If you want your pup to grow up healthy, refrain from buying from puppy mills, pet shops, and backyard breeders. Instead, find reputable breeders who not only ensure sound temperaments but also test their breeding dogs for any genetic disorder first.

Any sign of an illness exhibited by your pet should be brought to the attention of your vet clinic Sherman Oaks, CA.
