Beagle Harrier Activity Requirements
The Beagle Harrier is a hound and beagle mix. Though they are generally a healthy and hardy breed, they are not a high-energy dog. They need a moderate amount of exercise and mental stimulation. While a Beagle Harrier does not need a long, strenuous workout, they do need regular exercise. A brisk 20 to 30 minute walk or a few sessions of running and playing in the yard per day is usually enough to meet a Beagle Harrier’s exercise requirements. A few minutes a day playing with puzzle toys and learning new commands is also a great way to keep a Beagle Harrier happy. While they are not as high-energy as a Border Collie or Retriever, they do require a certain amount of physical and mental stimulation.
