Fun Fact
The Harrier originated in England. Sir Elias de Midhope established the first pack of Harriers in the year 1260. The Harrier was originally bred to hunt hares. The name “Harrier” probably comes from the Norman word “harrier,” which just means “hound.” An alternate theory is that Harriers were named for the animals they hunt: hares.
