    NEVER believe everything you read, as I was reminded earlier this year when I spotted an article on harriers in The Daily, reporting the breed’s impending appearance at Crufts. Apparently a group of enthusiasts had “revived the British breed and established a new pedigree lineage. The dogs, slightly larger than beagles, but smaller than English foxhounds, had been all but bred out of existence in the UK after the First World War and eventually there were no Harrier puppies registered with the Kennel Club beyond the 1920s.”
