Harrier

History:

Country/Date of Origin: England/13th century

Records of English Harrier packs date back to the 13th Century. However, a similar hare hunting breed is mentioned in Greek writings 400 years before Christ. The Harrier was the poor man's foxhound, it being small enough to follow on foot. In the United States the Harrier has been used since Colonial days.
