GERMAN JAGD TERRIER:

     THE JAGD TERRIER WAS DEVELOPED IN GERMANY AND SELECTIVELY BRED AS A VERSATILE HUNTING DOG WORKING UPLAND GAME, WATERFOWL AND BLOOD WORK. THE DUETCHER (GERMAN) JAGD TERRIER BREED CLUB (DJT) IN GERMANY HAS SET A STRICT BREED STANDARD AND CLOSELY MONITORS THE BREEDING AND TRAINING OF THE TERRIERS. A TERRIER MUST BE “CERTIFIED TO BREED” BY MEETING STRICT COAT, CONFORMATION AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS. ANY TERRIER NOT CERTIFIED IS ELIMINATED FROM THE BREEDING PROGRAM. UNFORTUNATELY, THE GERMAN DJT CLUB DOES NOT HAVE A GROUP IN AMERICA TO MAINTAIN THE QUALITY OF THE JAGD TERRIER. THE VIOLENT “YOU TUBE” TERRIER VIDEOS OR USING TERRIERS TO FIGHT EACH OTHER DOES NOT REPRESENT THE GERMAN BREED STANDARD. THE TERRIERS ARE RELATIVELY SMALL DOGS AND THE IDEAL COMPANION IN THE HOME OR WHILE TRAVELING. THEY RANGE FROM 15 TO 20 POUNDS AND 16 INCHES AT THE SHOULDER. OUR TERRIERS ARE IMPORTED DIRECTLY FROM GERMANY. THEY ARE BLACK WITH TAN MARKING AND HAVE DENSE WIRE-HAIRED COATS AND BEARDS. THE BEARD GIVES THEM A TOUCH OF NOBIITY. THIS COAT PROVIDES PROTECTION WHEN HUNTING IN ROUGH TERRAIN OR COLD WATER. WE LOVE OUR TERRIERS AS THEY ARE A GREAT HUNTING PARTNER DURING THOSE LONG IDLE HOURS IN THE DUCK AND DEER BLINDS. THEY CAN EASILY BE LIFTED INTO HUNTING STANDS AND BE READILY AVAILABLE FOR RETRIEVING, BLOOD TRACKING OR ALLOWING YOU SLEEP WHILE THEY KEEP WATCH AND THEN  “WAKE YOU UP” WHEN GAME IS PRESENT. MANY BOW HUNTERS ARE ATTRACTED TO OUR TERRIERS AS THEY CAN EASILY SIT IN TREE STANDS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 HUNTERS ARE SHOCKED WHEN THEY SEE US IN THE PHEASANT FIELDS, DUCK BLINDS, DOVE HUNTS AND OUTDOOR EVENTS WITH OUR TERRIERS. A TYPICAL COMMENT “I SEE IT BUT DON’T BELIEVE IT”. AS THEY WATCH OUR SMALLER TERRIERS WORK AS WELL AS ANY BIG DOG. MY SKILL AT MISPLACING “STUFF” OVERRIDES MY ABILITY TO FIND IT. OUR TERRIERS LOVE TO TRAVEL, WHEN I CANNOT FIND MY “STUFF” I TELL FELIX “KEYS OR WALLET FETCH”, PROBLEM SOLVED. WHAT GREAT COMPANIONS AND FRIENDS THEY ARE AS THEY WILL CONSOLE YOU WHEN YOU ARE NOT HAVING A GOOD DAY OR MAKE YOU LAUGH WHEN YOU DON’T WANT TO.

​

OUR JAGD TERRIERS ARE LOYAL AND GENERALLY MISTRUSTS STRANGERS. THEY WILL WARN US IF SOMETHING IS “NOT RIGHT” AND SHOULD THE NEED ARISE WILL BE THE FIRST TO PROTECT OUR FAMILY, RISKING HIS LIFE IF NECESSARY. HIS SIZE PERMITS HIM TO RESIDE IN THE CITY, TRAVEL IN ECONOMY CARS AND IS SUITABLE FOR APARTMENT LIVING. HE IS VERY ACTIVE; THEREFORE, NEEDS FREQUENT EXERCISE WHICH CAN BE BENEFICIAL TO THE OWNER AS WELL. THE TERRIER, LIKE ANY BREED, IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. IF THEY ARE OF INTEREST TO YOU, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTACT US. YOU MAY REALLY BE GLAD YOU DID.
